I went to the rally the vote event for Saxby Chambliss this afternoon. And, again Sarah Palin showed, as she has in every venue before this one, what charisma and star power are. It may have not been a record but the thousands of people - young women, at least 3 or 4 beauty queens with their tiaras and sashes, little kids, young couples with babaies, and the staple of the GA RNC, old people - came out to see her and her only.
At an event to re-elect (in a runoff) Senator Chambliss, it was billed as “Chambliss - Palin” on the signage leading to the Gwinnett Civic Center. The candidate INTRODUCED the the Alaska Governor who spoke for the majority of the event. After a very good speech, her fourth of the day, Senator Chambliss and Governor Palin made their way through the rope line. It was easy to spot Saxby making his quickly through his supporters. To see Sarah you followed the photo flashes,the pointing of hundreds of cameras and video, the kids being passed up, and crush of most of the crowd around her. It was easier to see her from 10 aisles up than 10 feet away.
Considering my choices, I took the easier of two possibilities. I shook hands with Senator Chambliss’ and made my way to the door. Sarah Palin’s appearance may not have any appreciable affect on turnout. I do not think it will, but I have already voted for the Senator. I would believe that Senator Chambliss would rather be the foil for peaple hoping to see the next POTUS at the beginning of her ascent than being the headliner for Congressman John L. Lewis and Ludacris - ala Jim Martin - the night before his re-election.
Anyway, another inspiring Palin sighting means more hysteria from the Looney Left and Democrats who still have memories of another “amiable dunce” and more MIS-anlysis from the drive-bys and DC-Philly-NYC Milk Toast Conservatives. Enjoy.

Greg Tuesday, December 2nd at 12:43PM EST (link)A report out yesterday noted that at a location where Palin attracted 3,000 attendees, Mitt Romney attracted around 100 last week. Romney supporters on another site dismissed Palin’s star quality, saying it will blow over in due time. But the ability of relative newcomer Sarah Palin to out-draw Romney, whom they argue is “next in line” for the nomination, by a 30:1 ratio must cause some concern within Romney’s camp.

indym Tuesday, December 2nd at 1:27PM EST (link)Additonal note about governance. There are 43 states facing financial issues and needing assistance from the Federal Goverment. The seven who are balancing their budgets: Alaska (Palin), Louisiana (Jindal), South Dakota (Rounds), North Dakota (Hoeven), Indiana (Daniels), Texas (Perry), and Missouri (Blunt). Understandably that some of the states facing challenges may not have been caused by poor management, but the constantly chaotic financial situation.
You should expand on this point a bit, indym.
