Palin Draws Crowd of 60,000 in Florida

THE VILLAGES, Fla. — Sarah Palin played it safe Sunday on her first trip as John McCain’s running mate to the battleground state of Florida, drawing a massive crowd of 60,000 people.

She went to perhaps the easiest place in Florida to get a large Republican turnout, stuck mostly to the themes she’s hit since the Republican convention and took no questions from reporters or the crowd.

But she was welcomed like a star, with tens of thousands cramming into a plaza and nearby streets in this enormous retirement community about an hour north of Orlando. Some waited more than five hours in 92-degree heat to see her speak for 23 minutes.

Look at the picture, and look at THIS

Speaking Monday on the campus of the University of Wisconsin in Madison, Michelle Obama tailored her speech to the many women and college students in the crowd of about 1,800.




And they wonder why we don't find them credible anymore.

I'd be surprised if there were 500 there, in fact I don't think there were 80 behind here as the report states. Obviously the reporter didn't think anyone would have photographed it from that angle.

I was one of those 60,000 in the Villages yesterday to hear Sarah Palin speak. She did an outstanding job. Aaron Tippen entertained before she arrived. He sang Drill Here Drill Now...he got a huge applause for that one....The reporters that came around and interviewed the spectators seems surprised about the excitment and backing the people have for Sarah Palin.

below are some of the pictures I took if anyone wants to take a look at them....

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

Thanks Linda. You got a great position there, you must have got there very early.

I was in line at 11:30...the gates opened at 1:30 and she spoke at 4:00...it was a long hot day but definately worth it to see and hear the next VP of the USA....

She spent about 30-45 min talking with people on her way out...she was so down to earth and you got the impression she could have been your next door neighbor.
