How come there are no shots of the crowd?
I have seen estimates of only 20,000.
How come Bretbart and Drudge are the only two sites online that say 60,000?

What a great role model for all women and young girls in America! We are all looking forward to great things from our new President and Vice President in January, Senator McCain and Governor Sarah Palin.
Sixty thousand…what a wonderful support base in Florida in just that one region.
President Elect McCain and Vice President Elect Palin are the only team that will get America back on track. The “Maverick” and the “Reformer” have the know how and experience in getting the job done!
But, America, they cannot do it alone. Left with a Democratic run Congress will be a disaster! The Speaker of the failed Democratic House – Marie Antoinette – Pelosi and her cronies have proved over and over again that they use partisan politics to be politically correct for the Democratic party only!
We need to usher in a new Republican lead Congress so that the changes/reforms that our new team will implement will be carried through to benefit the American people and economy!
Let’s vote the Democratic buzzards out…let’s clean house and get the job done!

What do you want, idiot Tom? Aerial views or do you want to see the handheld clickers at each entrance? I was there, numb nuts, and there were easily 60/k, I estimated closer to 75/k people there.
It was the talk of the town all week here, and two weeks ago tickets became available and the radio stations were talking about upwards of 50/k tickets available. They later said more tic’s were added. They handed out 35,000 flags and a lot of people didn’t get one. And by the way, none went into the garbage or dumpsters.

Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.
Have you ever wondered why, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?
Have you ever wondered why, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have inflation and high taxes?
You and I don’t propose a federal budget. The president does.
You and I don’t have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does.
You and I don’t write the tax code, Congress does.
You and I don’t set fiscal policy, Congress does.
You and I don’t control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does.
One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one president, and nine Supreme Court justices 545 human beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.

What’s the latest on Troopergate? Is there a tie-in with her son vandilising the brakes on those school buses.
Are “the fundamentals of the economy still strong?” Just asking because it seems like there are all of these weird changes happening – that aren’t good. Naomi Klein has written a book called Shock Doctrine. It’s about how
all of these rotten things are being done,
so that Americans are kept in a state of
shock; so that we can be kept under control
while our pockets are being picked. It’s
a Republican wet dream to keep everyone in
a constant state of fear. One thing is for sure. Thiscountry sure isn’t much fun to live in anymore.

You guys are right, she should be running against obama, so the numbers are inflated. So, I am reading reports that obama’s numbers might be inflated. You dims ever heard of the Bradley effect? No self respecting person would “God Damn” America!
President SarahSeptember 21st, 2008 - 11:26 pm
John McCain. He TOLD congress. Telling them is not enough.
Unleash Sarah Palin, she can fix it! She ended corruption in Alaska. She said Thanks No Thanks to the Bridge to Nowhere. She Said Thanks No Thanks to the subsidies the Oil Companies were paying the Alaska Citizens. As Mayor, she said Thanks No Thanks to the Ice Arena that would have increased the per Capita debt from 0 to $3000. She Fired the state Chef because she likes to cook for her own family. She demanded that the Tanning Bed be taken out of the Governor’s Mansion.
This woman can show the rest of the country how to say Thanks No Thanks to the Special Interests and the Regulators. She can tell them Thanks No Thanks to your stinking bailout, we can do it ourselves. We don’t need the Government to do everything for us!
ForceItSeptember 22nd, 2008 - 12:03 am
60,000!? No way, unless Rove was counting. I bet there were no more than 6,000. This thing is over. Obama is the one. If he is not elected, then our country must be racist.
I hope a law is passed to force people to vote for our Obama.
ForceIt_Your_A_MORONSeptember 22nd, 2008 - 12:36 am
ForceIt, you said:
“If Obama is not elected, then our country must be racist.”
Grow up and get yourself educated, then rejoin the discussion, ok?
Thanks!
PRSeptember 22nd, 2008 - 12:37 am
Sure they will fix everything!! Just read their lips!!! Just like Bush used to say he would fix Government spending as we go two trillion more into the hole under him!
Remember the Balanced Budget Amendment and the president who achieved it? It was Bill Clinton :D
Remember how Bush was going to bring Peace and security to America. I forget how many wars there are now. Pakistan is going to start shooting at our troops… Al-Qaeda is stronger. Only 4100+ dead and 30,000 wounded troops to make Iraq the garden spot it is today… And Condi sure got that cold war all fixed up and running again!
How about that super duper strong economy Bush and McCain are so proud off!! Aside from home foreclosures and that Wall Street welfare bail out for rich investors us taxpayers are going to pay for, everything is super good for sure!! Just ask Sarah!! And while your at it, ask Sarah what an equity bond is and see what a deer with pretty glasses looks like starring into headlights…
Of course it’s a proven fact that 51% of Americans are ignorant chumps who will believe anything.
So party hardy!!
SalasSeptember 22nd, 2008 - 12:38 am
The FL newspapers say about 25,000 came to hear her speak. That’s great. Why the need to lie? And how many crowds does the Presidential nominee attract? Sarah is not running for President. Not yet anyway I’m sure – but I’m sure she has a diff dream when she goes to bed at night – Palin/McCain ticket- yup.
Anita RobertsSeptember 22nd, 2008 - 1:08 am
MCCAIN/PALIN……MCCAIN/PALIN……MCCAIN/PALIN
Obama won’t even take care of his own brother and grandmother in another country….what makes you think he will take care of the USA. Born a muslim always a muslim.
McCain and Palin cares about the USA and all the people. GO REPUBLICANS….GOD BLESS YOU AND GOD BLESS AMERICA…
OH…I felt so sorry for his brother on the tv a few weeks ago….
Wanker LimbaughSeptember 22nd, 2008 - 1:12 am
President Bush… I am one of the many Americans that can’t wait to get rid of you. You failed us miserably when 9/11 happened on your watch and when so many warnings and national intelligence briefings came to you personally and you ignored them.
Since then, we have learned of your plans to invade Iraq before 9/11 even took place and of your ill-motivated lying sleazebag interest on behalf of your Saudi Royal family friends and Kuwaiti billionaires.
Your total lack of focus on the American economy reflects painfully too much the hostility you have against the middle class taxpayer suckers whose children you send off to the Bush family slaughterhouse in Iraq.
Martin Luther King Jr. was right about you and John McCain as materialistic ‘love of money’ corporate psychopaths who think mass murder makes for a good resume bullet. No wonder John McCain took such exception against a Baptist preacher for bringing the nation’s conscience to sobriety against Vietnam and corporate warfare against third world civilians.
Mr. president, we know you are a irresponsible sleaze wanting to blame everyone else for your attitude and reckless policies. But couldn’t you just once think of your nation first and go out and campaign in person with John McCain so the American people can hate you both for what you really are, corporate psychopaths who think Ayn Rand was a liberal.
I appreciate that you have energized America’s enemies and lied about Valerie Plame in an attempt to protect your ill-motivated murder of American service personnel and the embarrassments that go with your lying, insane policy of indifferent killing for self-aggrandizement.
Mr. President,…before President elect John McCain takes office in another vote fraud rigged race charged election, I just wanted to say drop dead you sleazebag murdering psychopath.

It’s already been done jackass. It’s called “State of Fear”, by Michael Crichton. It’s about how the threat of the Cold War is over and the Liberal Left is trying to replace that apocalyptic message with the lie of Global Warming. (via prophet al gore.)
Thanks anyway, though!
Bye Bye BarrySeptember 22nd, 2008 - 1:54 am
Sarah Palin draws a crowd of 60,000. Barry Obama couldn’t get more than 250 people to listen to him in Ohio.
Judy from ElktonSeptember 22nd, 2008 - 2:39 am
This is so great!!!
. She is the greatest nominee in over 100 years and she is just like a regular person!! like someone who could be the president of the PTA or just another Mom at the supermarket. I don’t wan’t to sound sexist but they should really dump McCain, we have had enough male presidents and let Sarah be the President.
Come on, she earned it. She has more Executive Experince than John McCain!! He crashed his plane, just like a man, probably flying too fast!! He is a hero for being a POW and all, but just this once, couldn’t we have a Woman in the White House.
She is a role model for all girls. If she was president, all girls would look up to her and when they grew up they would vote Republican!!! Think about it!
I have Sarah Palin Eyeglasses on order.,they are out of them at the Optometrists because they are so popular. I have a Sarah Palin button for each of my dogs and a lot of them on my hat.

Wanker LimbaughSeptember 22nd, 2008 - 4:44 am
FOR REAL EXPERIENCE AND SERIOUS COMMITMENT TO FOREIGN POLICY AND CHRISTIAN VOTERS MCCAIN SHOULD HAVE GONE WITH CONDI RICE. BUT THE MCCAIN BIGOTS KNEW THEY COULD NOT SELL A BLACK WOMAN TO THE SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION AND REPUBLICAN RACISM IN GENERAL. BESIDES MCCAIN HATED MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. AND WOULD HAVE EARNED FEW BLACK VOTES WITH HER AS THE EXPERIENCE THAT THE OFFICE REALLY DEMANDS. MCCAIN IS NOT THINKING OF WHAT IS BEST FOR THE NATION, IMAGE OVER SUBSTANCE IS WHAT GOT US BUSH AND NOW THE AMERICAN PEOPLE CAN’T WAIT TO GET RID OF HIM. THE BIGOTRY PLAY LEAVES THE EVIDENCE OF WHAT AMERICA IS MADE OUT OF, THE UNNECESSARY COURTESY OF JOHN MCCAIN. DIVIDING AMERICA OVER RACE WAS THE ONLY WAY MCCAIN COULD SEE VICTORY IN A BUSH HATING WORLD.
carmenSeptember 22nd, 2008 - 4:45 am
Those attending Floridans are brainless..and Palin a role model for girls?? Excuse me!!?? I don’t want my 17 year old getting pregnant, and thank God my daughter is very smart, when she heard the news about the Palin’s , she said, that was dumb!All of a sudden we’ll have Palin’s clones walking all over the country with those faked eye glasses, what a nightmare!

Sarah the FighterSeptember 22nd, 2008 - 5:16 am
Sarah is tough, she fights corruption and cleans up her own party. She’s got the 1% of people in the Republican party who are not real Conservatives but who are crooks and liars running scared, so scared that –
Last week, Dan Fagan, a conservative talk radio host in Anchorage, took Palin to task in a column in the Anchorage Daily News, reminding readers that an overwhelmingly Republican panel launched the independent investigation earlier this year.
“My fellow conservatives, remember how frustrating it was when Bill Clinton committed perjury and liberals looked the other way. As conservatives, we are no better unless we demand full disclosure from our governor when it comes to Troopergate. No politician is so popular and charismatic that they should be above accountability and telling the truth. Not even Sarah Palin.” ( http://www.adn.com/opinion/comment/story/532372.html )
Hoyt's Not HoitSeptember 22nd, 2008 - 5:39 am
Tom Hoyt is a professional crowd counter who is able to accurately judge the size of any crowd simply by being a member of it and applying his secret methodology.
While news agencies and public safety officials use digital aerial photography and special software, and police on the ground use formulas based on previously measured distance and density, Mr. Hoyt always outperforms them all, always pinpointing the size of the crown within 100% accuracy. He is too modest to admit it, but he has turned down offers of up to $10 million to divulge his secret for fear that terrorists or Democrats would use it for nefarious purposes.
The Fort Lauderdale native, who favors t-shirts with clever slogans on them, likes to say, “There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can accurately determine the exact size of a crowd and those who can’t.”
CentralizeSeptember 22nd, 2008 - 9:13 am
There is so much stress, anger, lack of diversity, lack of tolerance, and lack of personal carbon footprint guilt on this site. Capitalism is causing people to lose their mind. Our current financial crisis proves that capitalism has failed and it is time for a strong central authority to run our economy.
Only Obama can make the change we need.
It is time.

A BRIEF BIT OF PALINETICS
From Stephanopoulos to Oprah, Olberman to Blitzer, they all have supported Hillary and mocked Palin. Now, think about it:
BOTH supported Bill Clinton’s bombing of Iraq for Saddam’s WMD. BOTH supported the Iraq War Resolution. BOTH supported the Patriot Act. BOTH supported both war spending supplements. Palin supported eavesdropping-Hillary called it immoral, then voted for it. Palin supported data mining-Hillary called it unconstitutional, then voted for it. BOTH supported the surge, but only Palin supported the General who made it work.
As everyone from N.O.W. to Code Pink rails against Palin for her positions, Hillary paid them lip service, then joined Palin with her votes. So I have to ask: Who is the smartest woman in America? Who took positions and stuck to them, only to have folks like Hillary change their minds and join them later? What does it mean when someone is out in front, then mimicked when push came to shove?
Try my original Sarah Palin song ‘North to Alaska’ @ http://www.conservativemusiconline.com
At least she is a MILFSeptember 22nd, 2008 - 4:09 pm
Gee, Lance, I thought that Palin’s song should have been, “Paradise by the Dashboard Lights”.
“And now our bodies are oh so close and tight
It never felt so good, it never felt so right
And we’re glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
C’mon! Hold on tight!
C’mon! Hold on tight!
Though it’s cold and lonely in the deep dark night
I can see paradise by the dashboard light
Girl:
Ain’t no doubt about it
We were doubly blessed
Cause we were barely seventeen
And we were barely dressed
Ain’t no doubt about it
Baby got to go and shout it
Ain’t no doubt about it
We were doubly blessed
Boy:
Cause we were barely seventeen
And we were barely dressed”
Maybe young Levi should have kept his Levis on. If he had kept on his jeans then his genes wouldn’t be percolating inside of little Bristol!
