COLORADO SPRINGS In just the second day of campaigning together, Republican Presidential nominee John McCain and his running mate, Sarah Palin, gave a command performance of their convention week speeches to a crowd of more than 10,000 here.
McCain and Palin hit popular notes from their big-stage speeches by promising to rein in government spending, lead America to energy independence and win the war in Iraq.
"There's no place more appropriate than here in Colorado Springs, with all the great service of people from here, to tell you this: We are winning in Iraq," McCain said, drawing some of the biggest cheers of his 15-minute speech.

I wish they had a big flag painted on the tail of the plane. But that’s only because I like our flags on thing. I must be a bitter clinger.

We need to remind the residents of the Great State of Colorado that Obama is the one who is proposing a windfall profits tax on oil.
Colorado is a major oil and gas producing state and Obama’s Windfall Profits Tax is nothing more than an wealth transfer from the oil producing states to his supporters in East Coast consuming states!!!!!

...had projected only 1,000 to show up yesterday for a morning rally
in a Milwaukee suburb, they said, while an estimated 12,000 ended
up flooding Cedarburys small-town streets.

That’s funny. What happened? Did Cindy break her arm? She’s wearing a cast.

If they thought she was the lightweight non-entity that they claim she is, theyd just ignore her like Republicans are doing with Biden.Good point. Where is the old Blabbermouth?

I knew very little about Cindy going into the convention week, the more I’ve discovered the more I’m impressed by her.
Her interaction with the children while sitting in the audience showed her to be a kind and gentlewoman.
