When she arrived for the drivers meeting, Palin was immediately mobbed. She briefly chatted with Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele, shook hands with supporters and smiled big.
She took a seat up front next to Harry Connick Jr., who sang the national anthem for the race. When NASCAR president Mike Helton acknowledged her as a special guest, she got the largest ovation from the room, packed from the front to the back with drivers, team members, support personnel and onlookers.
After sitting through the meeting, Palin could not get out the door. Fans mobbed her, asking for pictures and autographs. Her 12-person entourage, comprised of track security, a policeman, friends and spokespeople, tried to get her to the door and to her next appearance. But Palin could not help herself, and kept signing and posing for pictures.
Even when she was able to get out the door, she stopped every few feet to take pictures. One fan asked where her husband, Todd, was on Valentine's Day. Palin said he couldn't make it because he's in Alaska preparing for the Iron Dog, the world's longest snow-mobile race.
As she got moving again, Palin stopped when she saw a boy in a wheelchair to say hello and sign an autograph. As she walked ahead, she answered two questions about attending her first Daytona 500.
"This is awesome," said a slim Palin, wearing designer jeans, a smart charcoal coat and sky-high black stiletto heels. "It's an All-Americana event. A good, patriotic, wonderful event that's bringing a whole lot of people together. I think it's good for our country."

Something tells me Andrea Adelson of the Orlando Sentinel will be looking for a job soon.”
No kidding. This sort of thing just isn’t allowed unless you’re a big time lib. Andrea’s gonna have a lot of hate mail to deal with over the next days.
LOL! As far as appearance, the stitching on the back pockets along with the look of being “painted on” as well as non-faded were the usual criteria.
Here's an example of the '70s "designer" style jeans:
The Hildabeast could not wear them.

No offense, but where are the pic’s she must have looked awsome....Madam President
The reason I'm interested in all this is that I suspect that the journo's reason for including the designer description of the jeans was to somehow distance Palin from your average American female, whose wardrobe I'll bet doesn't run to desinger jeans.
The journalists probably assume she’s wearing “designer” jeans because she doesn’t have a big fat behind. LOL

And just out of curiosity, do Michelle Obama's designer togs get labeled as designer? I notice that Mrs. O gets much different treatment than Nancy Reagan got when it comes to the cost of the First Lady's clothes and the question of who paid for 'em.
Sure. Probably from Phat, FUBU or Sean John.
I’m revealing my age, but I remember the ration of excrement Nancy Reagan got over the cost of her clothes. I notice that Michelle Obama doesn’t come in for anything like Nancy Reagan got. Which is even more ironic when one considers how Michelle Obama likes to dis the wealthy while wearing their designer duds.
She’s got the NASCAR vote...talk about a layup.
Personally, I think Michelle Obama is a guy. LOL
