I don’t see a teleprompter.

She does have the speech on the podium.

Good delivery, so far. It shows she has a strong command of what she is saying.

She is ‘talking’ to the crowd, rather than ‘speechifying’ at them.

Thank you for keeping it real. 10 or 11k is amazing enough.

Wow. That is an awesome picture!!!!!!!!!! :-) All this support must show up in the polls though eventually. It must be turned to votes. Or else we will be stuck for atleast four years of the most liberal senator as our president and the most incredibly inexperienced. Not a good combo. I have not even mentioned the fact that we also have DEMs in majority in house and senate. What is wrong with people? THis message needs to get out there daily! The spread for McCain should be huge given these consequences. If the American public at large is that uniformed or that easy to sway then they deserve Obama. Hold on tight.

To all,

I was at this rally today and IT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

the energy from the crowd was exhilarating...Sarah commented that she was amazed at how many supporters showed up.

Colorado goes to McCain/Palin.

There were easily 10,000 people there. in fact the line to get through the Secret service checkpoint was close to 1 mile long. No kidding.

It was really great to see the next president with my own eyes.

If it was Obama’s plane, the Democrat “mainstream” newsmice would have “estimated” the crowd at 300,000. But it was McCain and Palin so I’m guessing they put it at “several hundred”?

And I’ll bet they didn’t even have a rock concert before the speeches.

No free beer either.

Thanks for the info. The tie is off, the sleeves are rolled up, and the crowd is pumped. McBrilliant looks 10 years younger, and of course the Palins look great.

My guess is the campaign has added a second aircraft for press.

Your guess would be wrong. The second plane is an Embraer E190 leased from JetBlue for Sarah Palin's use.

Tucson-based Global Aircraft Solutions outfitted the Embraer 190 regional jet that will be vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin's campaign plane. It was flown from Tucson to St. Paul today.

Yes, even I am going to vote for McPain and Palin. But we all know why he picked her. To win back the votes he knew he lost over the immigration issue.

Let us not forget that. The U.S. can't survive absorbing Mexico's population.

No The AP and MSM will only show the small crowd around the stage inside the hanger.

I wonder how they'll explain election day?  :) Does the MSM ever get tired of eating crow?

I was close to both planes. As I recall, the one to the north, on the left from the crowd’s point of view, had just McCain’s name, and the one to the south (to the right) had both their names on it.

Yes, but I think McCain likes adulation. If Palin demonstrates to him the type of support that conservative positions can generate for him, I think he'll be inclined to follow her advice.
