Gannett owned website. Headline and link only. Will look for another postable source. The article says the fire chief estimates the crowd today at Palin's rally at 70,000.

Vigilant prevention of voter fraud is the key to this election!

Voter ID was fought bitterly by the ex-hippie Democrap govenor Roy Barnes who regrew his pony tail once he was out(He looks like a chinless, bloated Penn Gillette). The entire state Democrap party through a $%^&fit when it passed.People would be denied their right to vote if they had no ID, which by the way would be provided for free if they asked.

If it’s in the MSM (the 200,000 in Berlin) it’s probably not true.

My prediction: it’s going to end up
in lawsuits, just like 2000.

I fully expect it .. the two forces
are too divided.

That article now says the fire marshal estimates 60,000, not 70,000. Still big, but we should use 60,000.

However, we need to be careful. In Fairfax the democrat fire marshall said 23,000, but later the democrats got to him and he claimed he never made an estimate, and Obama’s campaign said that McCain was lying about the crowd estimates.

All the news media picked up on it, and not ONE asked if it was possible a democrat union member might lie for his candidate, rather than a candidate’s campaign making up a lie that was so easily found out.

Mod, maybe you could fix the headline to say 60,000. Remember, McCain’s been attacked by the MSM for “lying” about crowd estimates.

The American people are watching and more and more responding with the following sentiment:


I'M VOTING FOR SARAH!

According to another article, The Villages is a community of 70,000 retirees, so it appears that everyone in the community showed up for her. I suspect that the title is misleading.

The confusion must be due to inside v. inside plus outside, already discussed on this thread. Too bad Politico didn’t get it.

The Sentinel muffs the count too: “Estimates ranged from 25,000 to 60,000 though the numbers were impossible to verify.”
Obviously one official gave the inside total and the other gave the grand total inside and out.

I was watching Fox News talking about the Emmy’s and the word is it’s going to be very political and the word is that no one is to mention Sarah Palin! This is why I hate hollywood.

Worse than socialism re: power Paulson would have. Did you notice Obama made it known Paulson will have a place in his administration? This is truly disgusting... it’s time for these same jerks to get behind bars , be tried for subversion/treason or give me some jail time for gettin’ rid of em. Enough.
