Palin Remains Big Draw in Virginia

Washington Post ^

[Chet 99]

For the third time in six weeks, the McCain campaign has to adjust where Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin holds a rally in Virginia because she is proving to be such a big draw.

The campaign announced today that Palin's visit Monday to Salem, located near Roanoke, is being moved from the city's civic center to the Salem Football Field to accommodate the expected crowds. Gail Gitcho, a McCain spokeswoman, said there has been "overwhelming response" for tickets for the event.

Two weeks ago, a Palin rally in Richmond had to be relocated to the parking lot of the Richmond Motor Speedway because of demand to see her. And in early September, a McCain-Palin rally in Fairfax City scheduled for a high school gymnasium had to be moved to a city park after all the tickets were snatched up in hours.

Although many Democrats believe Palin is one reason Obama appears headed for a huge margin in Northern Virginia, she appears to have higher favorable ratings in Virginia then she does nationwide.

In a Washington Post-ABC News tracking poll conducted Wednesday and Thursday evenings, 51 percent of voters nationwide said they have a negative impression of her. But a Mason-Dixon Virginia poll conducted earlier in the week showed just 39 percent of Virginians held a negative view of Palin.

Palin Remains Big Draw in Virginia ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES.

Cheese, what a huge mistake it was picking her. They have to keep rescheduling rallies.

[rom]

Get with the narrative bub: “She’s a DRAG on the ticket”, NOT “She’s a DRAW for the ticket”!!

Geesh. Did you not get the talking points? I’ll get you in touch with Axelrod, the DNC and MSM.

I can't believe these liberal polls in VA. Just can't be true.

A Million Sarah March !!

Sarah was here in Fort Wayne, IN tonight- I couldn’t get tickets to the 12,000 seat coliseum event because they were gone in less than 6 hours. The event was covered live on local TV though, and I’ve got to say she lit it up like no other politician I’ve seen in my 30 years of watching this stuff. Even better than Reagan. And that’s saying something. Sarah is real- and she MEANS it when she says it. The place went insane as you can imagine. Don’t give up America!

Virginia WILL NOT go for Obama.

" She’s a the one DRAGGING everyone to the winners finish line on the ticket"

[KriegerGeist]

This is Virginia Tech territory and at 5 PM-something, it will be after most classes. I suspect many VA-Tech students may not be as Obama-sstar-struck as the “Rock the Vote” [ACORN] bus hoped or planned.

[Aria]

You lucky battleground state people, your vote matters more and you get to see Sarah.

[parksstp]

seriously, Palin is what has kept McCain in this race. Even Mac knows that and he’s not ashamed to admit it.

Either we’re right and McCain is going to win, or somehow we’re all going to feel like that reporter who said she “didn’t know anybody who voted for Nixon”. The only people I personally know voting for Lord Obama is AA’s and one idiot who is sold on “change”.

[montag813]

Get Todd Palin to Virginia coal mines and Obama’s lead will evaporate the next day. What the hell is wrong with Steve Schmidt? He is wasting Todd’s working man appeal. What an idiot Schmidt has turned out to be. His “celebrity” ad was his only bright spot.
