McCain Campaign Sees Changed Map With Palin [visits outside Milwaukee & Detroit; Colo Springs]
The Atlantic ^ | September 4, 2008 | Marc Ambinder

Gov. Sarah Palin may well draw larger crowds than Sen. John McCain ever did, and the McCain campaign plans to take advantage: they're filling a calendar that will find her deployed to places where McCain can't go, places where McCain's gone and fallen flat, and places where social conservatives need an enthusiasm boost.

The campaign disclosed plans for both McCain and Obama to visit a conservative exurb of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the economically distressed suburbs of Detroit, Michigan and the conservative bastion of Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Requests for Palin have poured in from Republican-leaning client groups. The National Association of Home Builders want Palin to speak at their fall board meeting in San Diego. Social conservatives hope she shows up at "values voter" conferences in Washington.

Beginning Monday, Palin will travel on her own. One of her first stops will be in Tampa, FL on September 8 . . .

I think there's a typo where the article says 'The campaign disclosed plans for both McCain and Obama . . .'.

Searched for this and didn't find. Apologies if it's already posted.

Yahoo! I picked up my tix for the Colorado Springs Road to Victory event yesterday. There was a steady stream of people coming in behind me to pick them up, too - I think it’s going to be a full house!

Throw in Mn and I think you have it. She sounds like she is from the upper midwest, so I suspect she will play well there.

He shouldn’t be allowed to get too comfortable. Palin helps a LOT but she won’t cement the deal. McCain needs to start talking cabinet picks that will show that he’s not picking Palin just as an appeasement to the right.

That rogue RINO needs to be surrounded by hunters.

Yeah, let's campaign like the whole country is in play. The Rats won't know where to defend themselves.
