PALIN STARPOWER! Alaska Governor Draws At Least 60,000 To Florida Rally!

This photo from CNN shows some of the crowd that turned out for Alaska Governor Sarah Palin at The Villages, a very large retirement community about an hour north of Orlando, Florida. Some estimates have put the number as high as 70,000, but no official count was ever taken. The 60,000 figure comes from the fire chief. According to FOX News, some waited as long as five hours in 92-degree heat to hear the Republican Vice Presidential Candidate speak for 23 minutes. Some people waited 90 minutes to park their cars.

The contrast to the Democratic Veep Candidate, Delaware Senator Joe Biden, is already being looked at. Biden drew only 2,000 to a visit earlier this month. Meanwhile, Democratic Presidential Candidate, Illinois Senator Barack Obama, drew 20,000 voters to a outdoor rally in North Carolina earlier today, a number that pales in comparison to Governor Palin's.

Governor Palin will also beef up her foreign policy credentials this Wednesday as she holds separate meetings with the presidents of Iraq, Georgia, Ukraine and Pakistan, and with the Prime Minister of India.

The governor is rolling along, and has become a craze among the voters of our great Republic. We are now within 50 days of the election, and exciting developments are happening every day. The Dems' greatest hopes are slipping away. Now, this is not the time to take all for granted, and think the GOP is going to roll away with this. History points to a strong Democratic year. However, the "Palin Effect" just may keep the White House in our hands, and limit the losses in the Congress, and in the state races. Every day is staying exciting!
