I watched it live...she was awesome

She is more confident, and she seems to have gotten better...

She really is impressive...the more this campaign goes on the better she will shine...

She was amazing...really

When she said we were going to drill wherever we could find oil in the USA, the crowd started chanting “Drill, Baby, Drill” over and over and wouldn’t let up.
Pony Express Pavillion seats 3500. Estimates range from 8,000 to 10,000 showed up, and there were people there as early as 8 AM to get in. She spoke about 5:45.

don’t know, but I bet it’s larger than anything Joe Biden can muster.

This was down the road from here about 20 mins away in the state capitol.

They had 3500 hearing Palin speak inside the venue, and maybe three times that outside watching her speech on a jumbo screen TV.

I'm told that it was quite the scene. People swarming all over Carson City like ants.

She’s due here in Colorado on Monday. There was supposed to be a pancake breakfast at a local airport but the demand for tickets was so large that they had to cancel the breakfast and move to a larger venue.
Wonder how the MSM will cover that.

My girlfriend and I wanted to drive up from Vegas, but when I saw the venue only held 3500 I figured it would be pointless.

“After a farewell rally in her home state of Alaska, Palin flew to the “lower 48” U.S. states to campaign on her own in Nevada, Colorado and Ohio over the next few days before rejoining McCain.”

Uh, that’s “lower 55” for those people around Barry.

Thank you for the update.
I felt sure she would hold her own by herself.
I wish I could have been there.

And, you got to see her first solo.
Good for you.

That's how I know they'll carry Colorado. The enthusiasm is amazing. We bagged Nevada and Colorado is a cinch!

Breakfast nixed by Republicans.

Women and minorities hardest hit...

1. Sarah Palin used a Lincoln quote to slap Charlie Gibson. We have that very quote up on the wall in our GOP Hq in Woodstock, Georgia. Come see.
2. Today there was a GOP rally in Atlanta GA with our Gov Perdue and US Sen Chambliss & Isakson. Overflow crowd and a live phone call from Sen McCain.
However, whenever Sarah was mentioned the crowd went wild. Thanks to the likes of Charlie Gibson helping to get her elected.

Does anyone have a link to her speech? Have they made a video of it yet?(I know a little early yet probably, but I wanted to go see her but couldn’t make it, and I only live about 2 hour drive from Carson City, frustrating!)
