Crowds turn out for Palin where ever she goes.

McCain drew loud applause, first at a morning appearance in the downtown of a quaint, Republican-leaning Wisconsin village and then at a more-boisterous amphitheater rally here in Michigan’s working-class Macomb County. Yet it was Palin who many, especially women, in both crowds were thrilled to see up close just days after she exploded onto the national political scene. Clutching signs with messages such as “Girl Power” and “Sarah Is My American Idol,” moms and their daughters lined the barricades just outside The Chocolate Shop in Cedarburg, Wisconsin that served as the backdrop for the rally. The women said they had come to see both members of the new Republican ticket, but couldn’t fake it when asked who they were more excited to lay eyes on. “Sarah!” a small group of them yelled .
Meghan Groppe, 12, of Cedarburg explained the enthusiasm. “Because if they get voted in she’ll be the first lady vice-president,” Groppe said, flashing a smile missing a few teeth. More expansive but similarly enthusiastic was Cheryl Hauswirth of nearby Grafton, Wisconsin. “She's a real women, she's a real feminist but she's not strident—she's like us,” said Hauswirth, a middle-aged mother who didn’t offer her age. “She’s strong, powerful and opinionated, all the things a women should be while still retaining her femininity, her womanhood.” If McCain was bothered by his number two stealing some of his thunder, he didn’t show it. Rather, he seemed to revel in the seeming affirmation of his risky selection of a political unknown. “Isn’t this the most marvelous running mate in the history of this nation?” he enthused to the thousands of Wisconsin voters who jammed an intersection just down the block from the Rivoli Theater where the marquee welcomed the new Republican ticket. When he asked how many in the audience saw her speech, nearly every hand went up along with a rousing cheer. “She has done so much already to lift the spirits and morale of people all over this country,” McCain said, but he could have been easily talking about what the Alaska governor and overnight sensation on the Right has done for his own candidacy.
Sounds like the Dems have a mess on their hands...hehe... Now they will have to run two campaigns.. One against McCain, and one against Palin. Right now, they are staying away from Palin so not to get off of message. But they will have to soon. They think they can just send out some old female liberal hags to deal with Palin... Won't work. She is more exciting and dynamic than any of the these Democratic women like you know who!
