I can’t recall CSPAN staying on a ropeline this long. Usually it’s a few minutes and then on to the next boring taped presentation. They’ve totally blown their schedule today. : )
I’ve said this for a long time. Because she needs a super majority and most get coattails but i’ve never seen a candidate with presidential aspirations, actively campaign as she did, understanding the ramifications.
She made sure governors won in key states, (SC)
She made sure senate seats were won in Blue states (NH)
There’s just a pretty long list of examples
I just can’t wait!!!!
WOO-HOO! BTTT YOUR COMMENTS!
Sarah leaving—crowd shouting “Run, Sarah, Run!”
Yes, Sarah, please do. Long ago patriots and present day patriots implore you. God bless you.
Me too, and you're absolutely right, she's the real deal.
Congrats on getting hubby in with us ;^)
Funny thing is none of those people who were adoring her were looking for a hand out! None expected her to fill their gas tanks or pay their rent!
"Do or Do Not there is No try"....make up 'your mind' and 'your heart' will follow.
That’s my favorite ticket too, Palin-Bolton, Bolton-Palin.
The libs-RINOs will need a change of underwear if that happens.
Let’s just imagine VP nominee Bolton “debating” Bite Me Biden!!! LOL!!!
Yep. Replay of speech at 8pm ET on cspan.
CSPAN to replay Palin speech @ 8pm Est.
You should be careful with quote marks, you don’t want to mislead people as to what Sarah actually said.
Wow .... just came back to the ‘puter.
I’m amazed that CSPAN’s still covering the crowd
outreach, pic taking and autographs. WooHoo!
Saw a shot of Campaign Carl back of the mob, looking
on .. and I’m sure he was filming a segment for later. Even tho he’s tall, he looked like a little sardine in the huge throng .. LOL.
Briefly reading thru the last posts, looks like .. OMG .. she took the gloves off totally ..full barrel. YAY! Ripped all the political class establishment and taking names. Yeah!
Gonna watch the whole thing later. Just before I clicked off CSPAN, I think they said it was going to be replayed tonight at 8pm ... DOUBLE check that.
I read: “here is my plan”
That does not sound equivocal.
Go, Sarah!! Tee ‘em up .. knock ‘em down!!
That was among the most amazing 45 minutes of live television I’ve seen.
Not she speech. She’s had far better speeches. Sarah mingling with the crowd, was orders of magnitude more moving, than any of her speeches.
That was incredible. What a natural she is. Inspiring to watch.
“her speech”.
(duh sorry)
Lots of women on the ropeline. Which is weird because we all suppose to hate her guts, at least we’re told we are suppose to by the media and other tiresome folks.
I think it was SO awesome that Sarah stayed there afterwards and signed everyone’s stuff and took pictures with the people. It shows how absolutely caring she is, show me anyone else that would stay there for over an hour talking to the people. She is one amazing lady and will make a WONDERFUL President! God Bless her!
Come on, be nice.
I complimented her for correcting a problem that I’ve written about on this very forum. It is not a “dig” to note when someone has improved. We all strive to improve, right?
You should not say that I am not honest. We discuss issues and events on FR. Since when is *honest* commentary such a divisive opportunity to say another FReeper is not being honest?
“Where’s the announcement?
Mr. hocndoc says it was the five points for recovery. I expected more.”
******************************************
Where was the endorsement of Slick Rick that you and your band of trolls have been predicting for the last month?
I heard Palin call out corrupt crony capitalists and “pay for play” shysters within the GOP. Everybody and their brother, even CNN, knew she was referring to none other than Tricky Ricky and the cesspool of corruption over which he presides in Texas.
So you expected more, did you? Me hinks you are going to get a lot more. Be careful what you wish for, since Rick Perry has so, so much “ethical” baggage in his portfolio. We have only just scratched the surface so far.
