McCain - Palin 2008

This morning, Justin and I got up, put on red "to keep Virginia a red state" and headed to the Virginia Beach Convention Center where John McCain and Sarah Palin were having a rally! Having been heavily involved in politics for years and years, I jumped at the opportunity to see them speak. Justin and I waited in line which was well over a mile long which started down 17th Street and wrapping around the building. Vendors on the street sold McCain/Palin t-shirts, buttons, hats, and playing cards. I especially liked the pink button with the pink elephant proclaiming "hot chicks vote Republican". Once inside, we heard state leaders speak of their elections and listened to special guest Hank Williams Jr. sing 6 songs before John and Cindy McCain and Sarah and Todd Palin were introduced to a roaring crowd of around 20,000 people. It was thrilling to hear their plans for America and we wish them luck on November 4th.
Goooo McCain - Palin!!


Me posing with my yard sign which is no longer there thanks to a McCain hater. :-(

The rally sounds fun! How clever is the pink button? I think you need one!

I'm sorry some McCain hater took your sign. We'll assume someone took it because they too are a McCain supporter, and wanted to display it in their yard :) At least they didn't replace it with an Obama sign. ;)
