Wow, just Wow. :) -> Seeing Mrs. Palin


Thousands lined up outside of Germain Arena to participate in the Road to Victory Rally, starring Sarah Palin. We, My Mom, Hunter, Mrs. Howard, Alex, Ben & I arrived there around 10:30 and got at the end of the line which was at that time probably 1,500 deep. Many vendors lined the line selling buttons, hats, t-shirts, bumper stickers and much more. As the good Americans that we are we decided to participate, showing our support for the McCain-Palin ticket as we purchased multiple buttons. 

The doors soon opened at 11(ish) and people slowly inched through security. We finally got in and were directed to a certain section. That section was in the back, you know those people who sit behind the candidate while they speak. Ya, that section. Although that would have been really cool, we didn't come to get on T.V. or look at the back of her head the whole time, we came to see and support her.  So we walked through many rows and found seats that we liked. The arena, slowly filled and continued to fill and fill and fill! It was packed, many were turned away.  

Finally, the moment arrived Sarah is in the building. The lights went down, the spotlights shone, and music, applause and cheers filled the air. As soon as Sarah Palin stepped on the runway, the crowd went insane. I was overwhelmed with emotion and on the verge of tears. WOW! It's her, it's really her! I still can't get over it. wow. 

Her speech inspired, compelled, and touched the thousands that filled the arena, and millions that watched it on T.V. Man, I just freaking love her! She is so awesome, refreshing and exciting. I really wish I could vote for her ticket, but since I can't, you the readers of this blog, who are eligible to vote, Get out their and vote for PALIN! 

Before, I go I want to tell you about this one protester. He kept yelling at her while she talked about Iraq and the war. Sarah being fed up yet extremlly composed turned to face him a said "Sir, My son is in Iraq right now fighting for your right to protest" ((that was paraphrased)) the crowd responded with a thunderous roar. This creeper was escorted out while we cheered. More hecklers were escorted out while making rude remarks about the war. Sarah proceeded with great poise and pride. 

God Help Us, God Bless America, our Troops and God Bless SARAH PALIN and that other guy she's running with, oh ya Mr. McCain. :) 

wow, just wow.
