McCain

A great event. We’re just waiting for McCain and Palin to leave. Scores of people were rushing up to meet them.

I don’t know how big the crowd was. I could have gotten on stage where I’d have been able to but I wouldn’t have gotten any pics or videos. Ahold friend was going to try, but I stayed where I was.

And now the mass milling of everyone leaving begins. I walked here from the national sportscenter

We’re not getting anywhere for a while.

I have some video and high quality pics. I’ll get them up later today.

Again great event. Tons on energy and excitement.
