SUCH HATE JUST GOES TO SHOW YOU HOW DESPERATE THEY ARE GETTING....
MCCAIN AND SARAH ONWARD TO VICTORY!
I went to the one at the NASCAR track in Richmond! Loved the cross-section of people, especially young women. Lots of enthralled men is a given! I liked seeing her broad appeal. Wear red!
I'm hoping she drags our GOP Senate candidate over the finish line with him!
I watched it on line — she is AWESOME and you can feel it with the crowd. She is generating enthusiasm like I have never seen with a Republican candidate including Pres Reagan. Sarah has taken the Country by storm and it is driving the elitist nuts! She is what America is all about — comes from small town America that is going to win this election for McCain/Palin.
The doors open at 7:00 AM on Monday. What time would you recommend that I get there so I don’t wind up all the way in the back somewhere?
If the doors open at 7, you should definitely be in line by then. I know some of the Richmond people couldn’t see the stage since they were so far back down the field. I was there when the gates opened and was too late for bleacher seating but had a great standing spot. You’ll love it!
I wanted to watch but my live stream kept bugging out. Sounds like she had a great rally!
CITY STREETS CLOSING (Fredericksburg)
Logistics set for Palin rally

City streets surrounding Hurkamp Park will be closed early Monday because of the noon rally for Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin.
The closings will begin at 7 a.m., when most streets within about two blocks of Hurkamp Park will be closed, Fredericksburg City Manager Phillip Rodenberg said.
Part of Charles Street will be blocked starting at 11 a.m.
Amelia and Hanover streets will be open to through traffic.
Those attending the rally can enter Hurkamp Park at 10 a.m., and Rodenberg said city officials are anticipating that others will fill the streets and sidewalks around the park.
Secret Service and state and local police will be monitoring the crowd.
Fredericksburg Public Works Director Doug Fawcett said downtown visitors and rally-goers will be allowed into the closed street areas on foot, but cars will not be permitted after 7 a.m.
FREDericksburg Regional Transit will be providing additional service Monday because of the rally. The routes and times will remain the same, but the number of buses will be increased.
Campaign officials for the Alaska governor have not said how many they expect to attend the rally, but Rodenberg said the park’s capacity is about 6,000. That’s more, he said, than other venues such as the Fredericksburg Expo Center, which holds 2,400.
Rodenberg added that the city had received multiple questions as to why the rally isn’t being held at Maury Stadium. He said school policy prohibits political events, so it made more sense to host the rally in a public park.
There’s no chance of the rally moving to another venue, Rodenberg said.
Fredericksburg residents can expect to see campaign officials setting up in Hurkamp Park starting today, but most of the work will be done tomorrow, Rodenberg said.
Fawcett said shoppers at the Fredericksburg Farmers Market will still be able to visit Saturday, but the market will be closed Monday for the rally. Rescue calls are run from city fire stations during the day, so the rescue squad stationed next to the park will not be inconvenienced.

It has been said that if McCain wins Virginia and Pennsylvania it may be a short night.
When does it start? the flyer says the gates open at 3:30. Any one know?
If you already have a ticket, you do not need to get a new one. If you would like to get tickets, you can get them at any McCain Victory Center or online at http://virginia.johnmccain.com/Virginia.htm.
“Sarah is real- and she MEANS it when she says it.”
Refreshing isn’t it? Maybe America has finally grown tired of lying politicins. The pendulum swings.
Me, too!
It’s interesting how there is an assumption that college students will automatically vote for Obama/Biden. In addition to the students I know at Virginia Tech, my daughter at Longwood University will cast her absentee ballot for McCain/Palin. Just like most of her friends in her high school graduating class. And that’s not even addressing Liberty University.
This time the Obama students have been very ‘in your face’ and annoyed the rest. Students are busy and feel removed and so it’s up to us to make sure they get those ballots in. Good job raising young conservatives!
Hey, to be fair, it's the first time we've seen anyone since 1964.
