Gov. Sarash Palin will be in Jacksonville on October 7th. Unfortunately, it is only a fundraiser. I hoped it would have been a public rally, so that I could attend.
Visit www.jaxgop.org for updates.
i wonder how much per plate?
If anyone goes to the Palin rally today, be sure to give updates.

And motorcycle cops will be driving down Bay St against traffic for no apparent reason. Watch out for that.

She is speaking for free at the Landing. Interesting distortion though.
Here is an update on the rally:

Do women frighten you, jc?
So open game on palin visit, but no slams allowed on the BHO visit thread? interesting....
People did slam on the Obama thread! It's her turn now. Besides...the material practically writes itself.
Wow, post and update go away for a while and look what happens. Uptowngirl is right, no slams allowed for this event. Use the politics section for political banter.

Not at all I freaking love Sarah she is so adorable. Denise Richards and Jennifer Garner too.
Alright i'm exhausted from the partisan bickering, just trying to lighten it up a bit. I will say it seems McCain/Palin supporters do get a raw deal in terms of their stops in Jacksonville. It's always on a early weekday morning when most people can't attend.
I actually went to this, but will refrain from posting anythign here since already it is getting slammed
No no no, keep posting uptown girl. I think we're all mature here and can save the heated political debates for our family members.
Yes, please uptowngirl. I wanna hear all about it. Did you get any pics or anything? if so JC would love to post them.

Simply the best!!!
She was very relaxed today. Focused on McCain's positives and Obama's negatives. Lots of families came with their children.
QuotePalin says she, McCain would impose spending freeze on national budget
JACKSONVILLE - Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin said today that she and John McCain would impose a spending freeze on the national budget and review every federal agency to ensure it was needed.
Those that weren't, she said, would be eliminated. She offered no examples of which agencies might be axed. Palin promised to balance the budget and "get our economy back on track." She provided few details how a McCain administration would that.
Palin also went after Democrat Barack Obama, saying he hasn't been honest about his relationship with William Ayers, a university professor who, in the 1960s, helped form the radical group The Weather Underground.

Here is an update on the rally:
Sorry about the misinformation. I didn't know she was going to be at the landing also.
From FirstCoastNews.com:
"JACKSONVILLE, FL -- Alaska governor Sarah Palin is coming to Jacksonville for a rally and a fundraiser next week.
The Republican nominee for vice president will be on the First Coast Tuesday, October 7. She's speaking at the West Club of Jacksonville Municipal Stadium.
The event begins at Noon.
There is a $500 minimum contribution."
No problem. My response made me sound more upset than was the case. I just wanted to set the record straight. :)
