Campaign staff and volunteers of Sen. John McCain and his former vice presidential running mate Sarah Palin are preparing for the pair’s appearance at Mesa’s Dobson High School on Saturday.
A spokesman for the camp offered a bit of advice for those wanting to get in: “Folks should get there early,” said Brian Rogers, McCain’s communications director.The event is free, on a first-come, first-served basis and does not require a ticket.

Also speaking at a rally in Tucson on Friday, the appearances are McCain and Palin’s first ones together at a public event since their concession speech in the 2008 presidential race.
Their appearance comes just four days after President Barack Obama signed a $938 billion health care reform bill. McCain has been an outspoken critic of the bill and plans to lead an effort to repeal it.
Palin, the former governor of Alaska, is stumping for McCain. She will speak about McCain’s values and what she learned from him during their 2008 presidential campaign and through his battles against his own party line, Rogers said.
McCain will speak about what he appreciates in Palin’s leadership, and speak out against what he believes are misguided priorities in the White House including government overspending, his concerns for the 17 percent unemployment rate in Arizona and the state’s home foreclosure problem as 48 percent of homeowners in Arizona are under water, according to Rogers.

How soon they forget NY-23's Hoffman.
She likes him Eaker.
His mother likes him too.
What time is this event? I might have to get me some JD signs and head over.
Man, I’m dizzy! Sounds like something Kerry would come up with!
No doubt!
After she announced support for this dufus, responses to Sarah threads dropped like a rock!
If she feels like she needs to support him, fine! But do one event, then this schmuck is on his own!
She had better start realizing that McCain and his ilk are part of the reason why we’re losing our country today!
DH and I are going to Searchlight too! I hope to see you!
Here is one of those from another thread.
"To: Bob J
I love Palin’s conservatism and patriotism! She may very well support McCain out of loyalty and I have no problem with that. And I have no problem with whom she supports with her PAC. There is nothing written that says she has to do everything (or anything at all) according to JIM.
Sarah is unabashedly pro-God, pro-Life, pro-Liberty, pro-family, pro-America, pro-constitution, pro-gun, pro-limited government and so am I. And she’s wildly popular among the God-loving, Liberty-loving folks with whom I choose to associate. In short, she’s a refreshing breath of clean fresh air in an otherwise putrid failure of a RINO infested party.
She represents my interests better than any other viable wannabe at this point and if she decides to run, she will have my undivided support!!
Romney, the draft-dodging, Big Government, lying statist political whore can KMA!!
And your picture does say a 1,000 words, but Bob, unfortunately they’re all about YOU and political whores like you and the results and likely outcome of your slavish, cultish RINOism!!
So you can shove your picture and your RINOs where the sun don’t shine.
Sarah has more guts, talent, ability, patriotism, and sheer determination and love for America and our God-given Liberty than you and Romney and a thousand other RINOS will ever have!
It’s been more than obvious for several years that our pro-Life & Liberty Free Republic has become an embarrassment for you, so why the hell don’t you just take a fricken hike already!!
Shove it, pal.
GET THE HELL OFF FR if you don’t like it, but whatever you do quit your damn whining and pestering good conservative FReepers about your hatred for Sarah Palin!! It’s beyond sickening.

Sarah Palin will be the next president of the United States!
That kills you marxists/democrats/liberals doesn’t it?
Well get used to President Sarah Palin, liberal.
I am pretty sure Sarah is just trying to do the polite thing helping McCain (kind of like having that embarrassing family member), so dont be afraid to make those JD/Palin signs :)
I won’t vote for him this time either.

How many McCain haters here claim responsibility for saddling us with this pathetic POTUS? Please vote for the most conservative candidate in the Senate races but if you can’t support the ticket in the Presidential race, you may as well join the democrats.
Yes, it would be, but I doubt she felt she could diss McCain - that’s why claiming to be neutral would be better than this, IMO.
Conservatives support Sarah Palin, so I seriously doubt your assertion.
What a horrendous Rino!!
Why is she aligning herself with him? She needs to stop. Maybe someone will shout out something to her at the event, re dumping McCain.
Not don’t going making sense.
This is supposed to be a bash Sarah thread.
Your almost nightly ‘divide and conquer Paultard’ theatrics.
"How soon they forget NY-23's Hoffman."
LOL, I did forget, and that was huge and historic, and it has had a big effect ever since.
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
You get me every time with that one.
Wasn’t expecting to find you on this thread tonight. LOL.
I’m unpredictable :D
“The events are going to be controlled.”
Can’t let Little Lord FauntlerMcCain be subjected to the opinions of his “friends”, now can we?
- - - - - - -
Yes,this event sure looks “controlled” LOLOLOL.
The event is free, on a first-come, first-served basis and does not require a ticket.The gymnasium can accommodate about 2,000 people but an online RSVP at www.johnmccain.com/sarah, has received more than 2,000 RSVPs already, according to Rogers.Doors are scheduled to open for the crowd at 7:30 a.m., and the rally is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m.
