The Villages, Fla. - Thousands of people rallied around Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin during her visit to central Florida on Sunday.
Palin almost cancelled the trip due to rain, but the heat became a major issue for the elderly residents who waited under the hot sun for hours. More than a hundred people required medical attention, mostly due to heat related symptoms. The initial crowd estimates are between 30,000 - 60,000.
The crowd erupted in cheers as Palin walked onto the stage to Van Halen's "Right Now". Voters waved signs reading "No More Lipstick" and "Pitbulls for Palin."
"Florida with your vote we're gonna win and we're going to Washington to shake things up," said Palin.
Two new polls suggest that Obama and McCain are within the margin of error when it comes to winning Florida.
"It was worth waiting seven and a half hours to see her. It's history in the making," said Dan Matthews.
"She's fresh, she just energizes the whole campaign," said Bob Faasse.
"She's down to earth, she leads with the people at our level," said Austin Scott

But...the important thing is:
How many were German?
You’ll have to help me out on this one.
Waht do you mean - “How many were German”?

But, but, the MSM says the “Palin bubble” has burst. She’s yesterday’s news. People are bored with her, the newness has worn off, etc., etc.
This should cheer you up! :)
60,000 reasons.
I think it’s Willow not Bristol with Piper and Trig.
The number are fantastic. Do you have a link for that? I've been searching and searching and all I can find is 60,000 or less. Thanks.
I know that Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska has a nephew via a sister that has Autism. I believe he is about 13 ???
It's Willow, Piper and Trig. Yes, Piper spoke to the audience, thanked them because they all got to go to Disney Land there. Todd was there too. I watched on my pc.
The Drudge Report is not enough. We need the MSM to report the truth. They won't do it willingly so they will need some help.
And yes this is going to cause some problems for Obama. It is now clear that Palin, and perhaps even McCain-Palin can outdraw His Highness, The One, Obama. So what does he do in Florida? Can he draw 60,000. Not a chance. How does he explain to his loyal followers the he cannot even match our VP pick. That's a problem for him. McCain needs to schedule outdoor events every weekend in the Battleground states and show Obama who is boss.
My feeling is that we can gauger better by the crowds than the polls.
Go, Sarah, Go!
maybe I’m the only one thinking this, but doesn’t her children’s names show lack of judgement on her part? lol
Maybe that can be the next article from the NYT.
“Two new polls suggest that Obama and McCain are within the margin of error when it comes to winning Florida. “
I fed ths quote into my BS filter and it came out...”McCain is handily leading in Florida”
You are right, they need to go to bigger places so the people can get to see them. How about football stadiums? Basketball arenas? LOL Play for the crowds and shake up the media/Dems.
I think they already covered that over at DU. Some dem site where I was reading they were making fun of her children’s names.
“How does he explain to his loyal followers the he cannot even match our VP pick”
And the pubbies aren’t even offering a free rock concert beforehand!
Track > named from sport her dad coached</br />
Bristol > named for Bristol Bay in Alaska</br />
Willow > not sure where derived from</br />
Piper > Named after Todds Piper Super Cub airplane. (Todd got to the birth certificate first is the joke.)</br />
Trig > sounds like a math thing</br />
I wish I had a picture of Biden with that little group on picnic benches the other day.
The Fire Dept estimated 70K so I guess thats around 30-60. If it were Obummer they would have written 200k.
Pray for W, Palin and Our Troops
