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.

That URL - www.grizzlybay.org is an ANTI-PALIN site - why post it here?
Obama on a bike. What a dork. Check your tire pressures, Dumbo. They look a bit low. You’ll get better mileage.
Hi all,
We’re back from Media. 2 of the grandbabies,my daughter, and a friend. We all wore red, or red, white & blue. Loads of busses to take part of the crowd from Springfield Mall to the courthouse square. Thousands of people and unfortunately, we had to run the gauntlet of the NObamba supporters. They were so obnoxious.
Whatever, the crowd was so pumped up. We were back a fair ways, because of the strollers mainly, and didn’t have a great view. But we cheered for everyone loudly, and even got our little grandaughter chanting John McCain and Yeah Sarah. She chanted the whole way home. Too cute
I have no idea how many people were there, but it took us over an hour waiting in the bus line to get back to the mall parking lot to get our car.
A great day, I’m so glad we were there. Sorry, I don’t have any pictures, but my daughter will upload them tomorrow and maybe I can figure out how to post.
Go McCain-Sarah
Very encouraging to see all the young women there enthusiastically supporting Gov. Palin!
I tried that.....no good. She's both.
bump
Wow! I hope someone passed around the olive oil to pack everyone in there! I have been to rallies in Media and I did think you could get that many people there. Last one was for Dole back in ‘96 and there wasn’t near that kind of crowd size! No mention of the crowd size at Philly.com. (figures!)
I am jealous. Media is in a pretty Republican district even thought Joe Sestak is the Congressman (used to be Curt Weldon’s until he threw himself under the bus!). I won’t be seeing McCain around Ambler... Montgomery County has gone Dem thanks to the RINO’s in this area.
I don't know her, but I hate her... :)
LOL -Thanks!
McCain was a fighter pilot and the dork can barely ride a bike.
LOL! Thanks, for the evening laugh!
The Obama Campaign website had called for a protest of the McCain - Palin appearance today.
I'm sorry you had to deal with them, but it sounds like you all had a blast, despite Obama's thugs being there.
Being that I live mere minutes away from their shop and showroom, I can tell you that as impressive as the bikes seem as you watch on the TV screen, they are even more amazing in person!
The POW/MIA is a very good looking bike, Paul Sr and company did a great job on that bike! Goto http://www.orangecountychoppers.com/occ/onairtheme.html to view the POW/MIA bike if you have not seen it yet!
As a matter of a fact I even know where Mickey lives, as he takes from time to time the taxi service I work for. A few of our cars have even made it into episodes bringing him to work at their original shop!
