Sarah Palin the Celebrity -- 60,000 in Florida -- where are the Ads Making Fun of Her Fame?

avatar

Sarah Palin (not McCain) drew about 60,000 in a Florida rally today.

So....where are the CELEBRITY ADS from the Obama team -- tit-for-tat time?

She makes a GOOD speech?

It's odd that Republican's (you know -- those that supposedly thrive on their Moral Values) would be so willing to RUN to this woman and man.  Both of whom have been found to have LIED several times over the past few weeks.

Lying is SUPPOSE to be a SIN?

I guess that doesn't matter with Republicans anymore.

Too bad.

Actually they are delighted to have her campaign in Florida. She's pushing independents to Obama everywhere she goes there.

I don't know if she is having the same effect in Ohio, but I suspect she is.

People are finally figuring out how extremist she is. Took a whole two weeks.

The many lies help Obama, too.

People know that politicains lie all the time, but if they do it in a reasonably "plausible denial" kind of way, they get away with it.

McBush and Palin aren't smart enough to do that.

Has there ever been a P/VP this STUPID before?

there is only one problem. according to some sources, there were around 25000 people at most.


Another day, another lie

Why on earth would anyone believe their crowd estimates at this point?

She drew 18k they said on CNN, who in the hell told you 60

...who in the hell told you 60...

Earlier today I saw it reported as 60K on Real Clear Politics with a link to this site:

news-press.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080921

And the Palm Beach Post reported the same BS:

palmbeachpost.com/state/content/state/epaper/2008/09/21

Of course, since those two reports over 8 hours ago, Fox News has picked it up and reported a 60K also.

I also have seen it on Fox's website.

Late comment to the 60,000 crowd in florida.

Yankee Stadium holds 57,000 people. How in the heck could this community in Florida accommodate 60,000? They said that some people took 90 minutes to park. Where? How come there are no videos showing this amazing crowd of so many people? The videos only show her speech with about 10 rows of people behind her. Did they have an adequate sound system to reach everybody?

I have been to protest rallies where it was clear that there were hundreds of thousands of protesters and the press said that there were 'thousands' of participants.

I think this crowd estimate was made by a fire marshall that never saw more than a thousand people in one place.
