Palin Barnstorms Ohio

By Robert Stacy McCain on 11.1.08 @ 7:24PM

After doing three rallies in Florida and one in North Carolina on Saturday, here is Sarah Palin's Sunday schedule:

9 a.m. -- Canton, Ohio
11:30 a.m. -- Marietta, Ohio
2 p.m. -- Columbus, Ohio
5 p.m. -- Owensville, Ohio

Google Map directions for any hard-core Sarah fans who want to try to cover the whole trip -- 334 miles by car. Good luck.

BTW, those times are for door-openings, and I'd advise anyone planning to attend a Palin rally to get there at least a couple hours before those times. The lady really draws a crowd:

But, but I thought they said Governor Palin is a drag on the ticket that McCain really screwed up this time. Could it be possible they aren't telling us the truth? Would the lamestream media actually lie to us? Arrrrgggghhhhh!

I watched the entire video of the line at the Palin rally. I saw one non-white person. I don't know what this says about Palin or the Republican party this year.

It says more about you that you were looking at skin color so closely. Who's the bigot here?

Alex| 11.2.08 @ 10:58PM

I wasn't calling anyone a bigot. My point was only that Palin draws an almost all-white crowd. You don't have to be a bigot or anything else to find that interesting.

When I said I don't know what this (the all-white crowd) means, I was being honest. I suspect it means that Palin's message is attractive to many white people but clearly not to non-whites. Politically, that seems like a potential drawback, and it's shown in the polling numbers for blacks and hispanics.

Palin not drawing blacks and hispanics - big deal!?

Politicians who would say anything to get elected are worse than whores.

Palin has a simple message - capitalism over communism. If the blacks and hispanics are not attracted to this message - so be it! If people wants to turn every state in this country to become like California and Michigan , or like Venezuala and Argentina - so be it! If people wants to use their vote to steal money from others - so be it!

Always remember - the rich is always the last to get screwed and before you know it, they will be the first to flee the country. The poor will be left with nothing but a Stalinist dictator.

Well John, I disagree with you. So convince me. I'm assuming you're contrasting Palin with her opponent, and thereby calling Obama's plan communism. Convince me that Obama's plan - raising the top tax rate from 35% to 39%, where it was 8 years ago, a rate that McCain defended at the time, is communism. Convince me that his healthcare plan, which doesn't even come close to resembling the socialist ones in Europe, is communism.

Both tickets this year are capitalists, they both favor progressive taxation. Neither side likes to point it out, but the differences, in terms of ideology, between them are small.

"My point was only that Palin draws an almost all-white crowd. You don't have to be a bigot or anything else to find that interesting. "

I've been to 4 McCain/Palin rallies and have seen many blacks and hispanics (latin folks from socialist countries ESPECIALLY like McCain/Palin...they KNOW!)...anyway, with 95% of blacks voting for Obambi, you have to expect this kind of mix this year.

It's not a reflection on McCain/Palin; it's a reflection of blacks voting for Barry.
