PHILADELPHIA—Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin takes her cheesesteak with Cheese Whiz and onions.
The Republican vice presidential candidate made a brief campaign stop at Tony Luke's steak shop in South Philadelphia on Saturday evening. Wearing jeans and a beige raincoat, Palin greeted curious onlookers, signed autographs and posed for pictures before ordering two steaks to go.
"Sarah, your steak is ready," a cashier said over the loudspeaker a few minutes after she ordered.
As dozens of onlookers crowded around her, Palin headed back to the window to pick up the order. The cashier told her the order was on the house, so Palin tossed her cash into a donation jar outside the window. A smiling Palin signed autographs on scraps of paper at the window while she waited.
"Thank you so much for letting me stop in," she said before picking up the bags and heading back to her SUV with 14-year-old daughter Willow at her side.
Ordering cheesesteaks at a Philadelphia steak shop is a longtime tradition in the City of Brotherly Love, where the sandwich is a cultural icon.
Palin said she thinks Arizona Sen. John McCain was "awesome" and "absolutely on his game" in Friday night's presidential debate with Democratic Sen. Barack Obama. Both candidates have been campaigning heavily in Pennsylvania, expected to be a key battleground in the November election.
One undecided voter at Saturday's stop said she was charmed after a brief talk with Palin, and more inclined to vote for McCain. Shannon Sampere, 24, of Newark, Del., said she and Palin talked about good bakeries in the area, adding that she found her to be very down to earth.
"She's a very genuine person," Sampere said.
No, she'd reach in and take the money that was there out.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Let Sarah be Sarah!
Let her loose and don’t over-prep her or she’ll freeze up.
If they can let her be herself, she’ll pulverize Biden.
If they don’t she’ll have problems.
Sarah, your steaks are ready.
I guess she left the name Sarah with her order, but that just sounds so ....
like Sarah.
...import their buns...
no such thing as a steak on a “bun” - it’s a roll - preferably Amoroso’s - it’s all about the bread.
what I meant was that John McCain was the best between that bamy person and him....
nobody comes close to Sarah.....
You got to remember that (1) I'm a Southerner born and bred, our last Yankee ancestor was born in New York City in 1802 (2) I haven't been in the Northeast other than a couple of short business trips since 1977.
AOL has 500 photos and she looks friendly and confident and they all look smitten. I notice when she speaks to people-even unidentified people on the street she seems engaged in what they are saying.
The roll is the secret ingredient. There is something in the water, pronounced warder that makes them impossible to duplicate. All the best steak shops get them fresh from the bakery every day. Sorry to say but the rolls used in other parts of the country are just oversized hot dog rolls.
If you enjoy the taste of an old shoe on a roll.
You are very good. LOL
Oh...a litmus test?

You are too kind. You beat me. I was fumbling trying to remember the huntin license quote, saw yours, and had to improvise.
I remember it like I remember Reagan saying “Trust but verify” and my Father telling me “Nobody owes you a living”.
My Father made me the Conservative I am today, and people like Kerry and Obama steel my resolve when they come out with their Liberal drivel.
I go through life wondering how normal people, who have the gift of living in this wonderful country, can stand to be ruled by the Liberal Elite. They give up their souls so easily, it makes me fear for our ultimate survival as a free people.
Of course I'm the kind of guy who gets a lump in his throat and a tear in his eye when he sees the flag unfurled, hears a patriotic tune or watches a Military flyover. I feel like a relic until I come to a forum like this and realize I am not alone.
BTW - I cracked up when I clicked on your links. You are a fast thinker... (and a much quicker typist that I). LOL
