I am less than 15 feet from Sarah Palin's podium! LIVE from Raleigh, NC!!!

All right! I am about 10 feet from Sarah's podium in Raleigh! Can't take pictures from my Blackberry but the crowd is huge... Tens of thousands lined up outside. I managed to get VIP access at the last minute for the family and we're going to get a close-up view of our next Vice President! I'll try to post updates as the night goes on.

Any Freepers in the crowd, let me know!

So how are you posting here if you are that close to Governor Palin? They let computers that close to the VP?

Yell out a “We Love You Sarah!”, and others in the crowd will probably join in.

Tell her “full inclusion” at schools for our special needs kids.

It sucks to live in CA during presidential elections.

Wow. have amazing time! Four years ago on the Saturday before the election, we had the opportunity to be on the stage behind President Bush. It was a moment I will never forget.

I was Sarah last night and there were 2 others. Some said they’d already voted for her.

Update... The place is filling up. Whata. Crowd... The anticipation is like ripples billowing out in human excitement from whatever creates attention. Everyone is so excited for Sarah to come out. Got my son in front of me and my stepdaughter behind me... What a moment! My wife and other stepdaughter are right across on the other side. Amazing being here. Flags, signs, people just hungry for the victory.

And I just can’t resist reminding everyone that thanks to President Bush we are all alive and able to attend that rally for Sarah.

God bless our President and bless and protect Sarah.

My wife is there right now and just as close. She's been sending me pics on her cell. The rally doesn't start but in 3 hours, and I'm on Iraq time, so I'll have to post more manana (that's tomorrow for those of you in Rio Linda). Palinrally2

Yesterday I drove from Denver, NC to Lincolnton, NC to Troutman, NC to Mooresville, NC and back to Denver, NC. Probably 125 miles total, mostly rural area. I saw hundreds of McCain / Palin signs and only one Zero sign. It looks to me like a landslide in NC, but I guess we’ll find out Tuesday.

Cool. The weekends here on Freerepublic bring the hand-wringing freepers that haven't been on all week and panic when they see one negative.....and then, of course, the DU'ers in disguise.

I'll crawl to the voting booth on Tuesday---NO MATTER WHAT!

My sister and her husband are there with 4 of their 6 kids. The second to the youngest, my Goddaughter : ) , has Down Syndrome. I hope they get to be as close to the stage as you are. They are such a wonderful, conservative, religious, pro-life family. If you see them, say “Hi” for me. They'll be the friendly, good looking ones.
