MEDIA, Pa. -- With Sarah Palin in a red leather jacket and American Chopper dude Paul Teutul on stage, the McCain campaign took on a born-to-be-wild vibe a rally at the courthouse square here.
Palin introduced Teutul -- founder of the Orange County Choppers and the host, with his sons, of American Chopper on the TLC channel -- as he rode onstage on a white chopper, a type of motorcycle, dedicated to POW-MIAs.
Teutul noted McCain's years in a Vietnamese prison.

YYou could go to johnmccain.com and click on the volunteer button. The connections between campaigns and the local and state parties are not what we might want.

Great. Now Wapo readers will know what a chopper is and can bring up the topic at cocktail parties without looking totally like, you know, stupid.
Wapo SAYS it’s a motorcycle but they KNOW it’s what the maid uses to make salad with. Just Republican propaganda.

Oh my Lord! This event must have already caused severe constipation in the New York scribes and talking heads, and by morning it will have crippled Washington.

..one local blogger posted:
Just got off the phone with Mom and Mark, who informed me that the Media courthouse is absolutely mobbed with enthusiastic McCain-Palin supporters. By Mark's estimate, there are thousands in attendance, overflowing from the main stage area and extending several blocks beyond State Street. I am hoping to watch via a local news outlet online and post a video later. From what I could hear in the background, people are incredibly pumped up and ready to deliver the state for Republicans in November. My brother noted that the last time he witnessed such a palpable electricity in the Media crowd was when Reagan visited during the 1984 campaign. Not even Dubya elicited the same level of passion in 2004. Let's hope this is a good omen and that PA swings back to red this year!

OK. I’m going to make myself write 100 times in cursive:
She’s my Vice-President, not my fantasy.
She’s my Vice-President, not my fantasy.
She’s my Vice-President, not my fantasy.

Hey everybody! Look at this (and somebody save it, please)...
Somebody was calling for a protest of the McCain-Palin appearance in Media, PA today. What makes this noteworthy, you ask?
It's on Barack Obama's campaign website under "events."
From that page:
Protest the McCain/Palin appearance in Media, PA (Organizing)
Anti-McCain Protest: Media, PA Stop The Lies! Hosted by: Greater Media Nether Providence PA Team Where: Delaware County Courthouse When: Monday, Sept 22nd, 3:00 pm

Call McCain HQ. They always need people to travel to other states; I got an email from McCain.com the other day with that very request.

I wonder if Paul Teutul and his sons can build a Motor Cycle just for Sarah... theme it around Alaska.
You hear that Paul SR. Paul Jr. ... build a bike for Sarah...

Now Wapo readers will know what a chopper is and can bring up the topic at cocktail parties without looking totally like, you know, stupid."Hey, did you hear about the new type of motorscooter they're making? They call it a chopper. I'm not sure why. The thing I saw was big and noisier than my Vespa and I bet it pollutes a lot and doesn't get good gas mileage. I think they should be illegal. Obama will see to that, I hope."

I AM being positive.
Look, I LURVED Maggie Thatcher. And Golda Meir, Indira Gandhi and Elizabeth I were also conservative women not to be trifled with.
But let’s face it. You have to go back to Joan of Arc to find a conservative female leader who was also gorgeous!
Good thing the Teutul’s aren’t Obamabots. I like that idea of a Sarah bike. They would get HUGE ratings for that build....
