Saturday - Sarah Palin Leads A McCain Rally in Carson, California

[Median Democrat]

At the Home Depot Center. The Home Depot Center is a Soccer stadium, so I guess they are going for a large turnout, which is why they are in California at Soccer stadium even though California is not in play.

Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin will hold a rally on Saturday, Oct. 4 in Carson, the Republican Party of Orange County announced Thursday.

Palin, who has drawn large and enthusiastic crowds around the country, will speak in the 13,000-seat tennis stadium at the Home Depot Center.

The event was originally scheduled to take place today in Orange County, but was postponed so that Palin could attend the United Nations General Assembly in New York this week.

Palin, the governor of Alaska, has been credited with energizing Sen. John McCain's presidential bid, and is especially popular among the Republican Party's social conservative base.

The event will begin at 2 p.m. Gates open at 11 a.m.

Tickets to the Carson rally may be obtained by e-mailing [e-mail].
Tickets can also be picked up at McCain Victory Headquarters at 23211 Hawthorne Blvd. in Torrance.

1. They are wasting her in California....

She should be out in North Carolina, Virginia, New Hampshire or Indiana...

Why have her waste time in California.

[villager]

2. Let her. Doncha know.

;-)

[Clio the Leo]

3. they are afraid she will try to sneak into Michigan without permission. NT

[JI7]

5. i think it's because she is hurting McCain more than most VPs

so they are keeping her out of the more important states.

[TheDonkey]

19. I think so too. They are just finding places to put her where she cannot do much damage

[Median Democrat]

7. "YES WE CAN! Doncha' Know?"

It would be great if a bunch of Democrats could go to the event and make this chant.

[steve2470]

8. agreed, I'm glad they are so inept nt

[WCGreen]

14. That's my thinking...

They are really trying hard to lose...

[AlCzervik]

12. she's coming here for money, that's why they all come here.

and they leave.

[WCGreen]

15. Well, that's true...

But they should have sent McCain and let PAlin campaign...

[AlCzervik]

20. well the new shiny thing brings in the lookee loo's, the other one, not so much.

i think Howard Fineman referred to her as "A Prop" tonight.

[Jersey Devil]

16. It must be a payback for a deep pocket contributor

Of course the McCain campaign knows it is wasting its time in Ca, but probably some big contributor wanted her there to help a down ticket candidate. At least that would be my guess.

[WCGreen]

31. Lap dances....

[KingFlorez]

4. What is she doing out here?

They have no chance of winning in California and she's appearing in area that is heavily Democratic. Not that I care about them wasting their time, but this really shows what poor judgment the McCain camp has.

[Quixote1818]

6. How big is Carson? Sounds like a little town.

On edit, I just looked and it's near Long Beach in the LA area.

[Median Democrat]

9. Its Smack In The Middle of Los Angeles County - 9 million people

Orange County, which is nearby has 3 million people. Southern California is huge, and the city of Carson is centrally located. If you want to go for a massive amount of people, Southern California is the place to do it.

[amborin]

26. Carson is in LA county, not in Orange County (orange is affluent and rethug)

[amborin]

23. Carson is solidly dem and largely african american; i hope she's heckled

[msongs]

10. $$$ nt

[Blondiegrrl]

11. Let's see: Over the past couple of days, McCain and/or Palin has

1. Campaigned in Iowa

2. Pulled out of Michigan

3. Bought ad space in Maine

4. Campaigned in Arizona

5. Campaigned in California

... and yet they wonder why they're losing? :rofl:

[PATRICK]

17. the last hurrahs

in states they will lose but MUST show the flag in a futile attempt to win the popular vote. Time constraints will disappear this wasteful gesture as they go into landslide avoidance mode GOP style, which will probably(aside from cheating) make Bob Dole look very good.

[Undercurrent]

30. It's downright weird!

What ARE they doing? Looks like they have given up, and are just putting on a front, running in circles, spending money.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. She's going to rally the troups, doncha know!

Some local Dems are mounting a protest...

[Phredicles]

18. Oh gods, as if there isn't a miasma of failure hanging over my LA Galaxy

as it is...:puke::puke::puke:

[ej510]

21. Carson has a large polynesian population. I have alot friends down there. They are Obama

supporters.

[amborin]

24. also a Filipino population

[Left Is Write]

22. I thought McCain hated Californians.

Oh...wait...I guess hating Californians is as good a reason as any to send Palin there.

[Shine]

25. Perfect example of how lame Team McLame is.

putting their VP candidate in a state they'll NEVER win. :wtf:

Idiots.

On the other hand, their strategy is just fine with us.

[progressivebydesign]

27. Yawn. Whatever. weird day at DU. n/t

[angee_is_mad]

28. Photo-OP day

that's what it is about and that is all she is good for. Preaching to the choir and not able to convert anyone!

Winking and flirting will get you so far when people can't fill up their gas tanks when they can FIND gas.

[nini]

29. That's a heavily black area

I hope the neighbors come out to 'greet' her and her fans :evilgrin:

I heard the McCain groups in the Palos Verdes and beach areas were all excited about this. These are the same people who didn't want their kids coming down the hill and to this area for high school athletic events. :eyes:

I was surprised when I heard this. I figured she hit the OC.

32. Home Depot Center in CA eh?

Maybe she wanted to see what Latinos looked like, since she's probably never met one.

:sarcasm:
