FL: Palin draws crowd of 60,000
Eye- witness account: Road to Victory Rally in FL | September 21, 2008 | Bill Cotterell

Posted on 09/21/2008 7:41:51 PM PDT by UMCRevMom@aol.com

The crowd chanted "Sa-Rah! Sa-Rah!" at every mention of her name. The enthusiastic crowd applauded loudly and waved tiny American flags. The fire chief estimated the crowd at 60,000.

It was HOT! People wee patient as one parking lot filled up after another. Shuttle buses transported the crowds from lots to stand. I saw 4 people that were attended to and transported by Emergency vehicles while waiting for transport for shuttle. Yet people of all ages, quietly talking politics, continued to wait. Once transported these "Country 1st" folk encountered another HUGE security line to enter Sumter Landing. Free water was distributed. Masses watched Sarah on giant TV screens. It was an AWESOME experience!!!

I was in the wrong corner of the US of A to attend....so I sent another donation to McCain/Sarah 2008.

...yeah I know its McCain/Palin, but Sarah is now America's best friend......

I have my Sarah Palin screensaver staring at me as I type.

Just looking at her makes me happy.

But I live in Big Bad California. Work in Evil Hollywood.

I know California is probably going down to Obama.

BUT. I think Palin should waltz through this state anyway.

Yeah. Start in gay ol’ Palm Springs. Then La Jolla (lots of GOPers there...)

Then ORANGE COUNTY.

Then, gasp, Hollywood. With plenty of Secret Service mind you. David Horowitz and Lyonel Chetwind would love her.

Then the Valley. Porn Capital of the World but also a lot of churches. Encino, Agoura Hills...

then back to Malibu. Yeah. Malibu.

Then Santa Barbara. Lots of GOPers there still.

Then oh, I don’t know... Central Valley farmers.

Then, Carmel/Monterey. She’d love it. She should meet up with Doris Day at her hotel. Doris is still a GOPer.

Then geez, I guess, San Fran. Why not? And Silicon Valley. Go over to Apple and shake hands with American ingenuity and winners in a deathbound stock market.

Then Redding at least. Lots of crazy Christians, but GOPers in that ol’ hippie town.

Sacramento would be really walking into a beehive but Sarah would get so much National Press coverage on this “wasted” California trip — she would be amazed.

Ooops forgot Santa Cruz.

Get those old hippies and libs and Hollywooders by showing you ain’t afraid of them Sarah. You’ve got a lot of Cali fans. Even Hollywood is afraid of you... you’ve got more STAR POWER then any one of them.

I’d just go in like her hero and mine, Abe Lincoln once said: “The best way for a young man to succeed in this world is to take act as if no one is against him...”

I think Old Abe would appreciate the modification to “young female VP hopeful”...

Keep the faith. CA might go to Obama, but it doesn't have to be a landslide.

Palin’s got to come here...

She doesn’t know what good she could do.

I would FLY or drive all day to go see her...but I don't think she is coming anywhere near eastern Washington....

McCain and Palin could have Washington...they really could.....

People I met on buses mentioned 24 hour prayer chains are praying for this election in our nation. Meeting the individuals in these lines was truly awe-inspiring.

I believe you. Please note the “(/Democrat)” at the end of my post. As well, I thought the choice of “only 14 people at the rally” was so preposterous that it could not be mistaken as serious.
