Palin Draws Large Crowd In Florida
September 22nd, 2008
Palin holds giant tube of lipstick given to her by a supporter.
Sarah Palin was in the Orlando, FL, area Sunday, and estimates of the crowd range from 25,000 to 60,000, with most major news outlets reporting 60,000.
I’ll let some of the people who were there speak about the event: (Notice I included the bad comments as well as the good.)

I waited in line 1.5 hours to get on a bus, then 2 hours to get into the area Sarah Palin was going to speak in, then she spoke and we had to wait another hour to get on the bus to take us to our cars. It was 90 degree heat and I’ve never stood so long in such hot weather. I had an umbrella, lots of water, comfortable shoes and iced towels for my neck and IT WAS WORTH EVERY MINUTE OF ALL OF THAT, she was wonderful, she was in a long sleeve suit and after her speech, she signed autographs for about an hour and then we saw five helicopter take off and figured she was on her way to her next stop, I got to scream loudly when she said she was for helping special needs kids families and I felt like she really can make a difference because she was such a natural person. I liked her comment (because I was there in the heat) to the person with the poster “sweatin for Sarah” and she said she would sweat for them too. (or something along those lines, it was GREAT and I feel like I have participated in a little piece of my own history. My mom went to Dallas and met Ronald Reagan even though he wasn’t nominated that year and I brought her a Palin pin, to add to her collection of political pins from years and years of politics. anyway it was worth it and I’ll never forget it.

What a waste of time and effort! Her talk was so short and did not have any new information on the party platform. I liked the picture of Sarah with the tube of lipstick!

You had to be a tough person to bear the heat out there today and let me tell you- I have to hand it to some of the older folks out there. We all waited long hours in the hot sun but it was worth every minute of it!! It was a great day!

This looks like one of the best stops of the entire campaign.
Vice-President Palin will do our country proud.

I wonder how these adoring people will feel when she has us in war with Russia. They have nuclear weapons AND missiles that could drop them on Florida.

Yeah-it was a long wait-yes-it was hot as hell-yes-there were a gazillion people there-and yes it was worth it. Sarah Palin is awesome. I agree-it will be nice to have a real person serve us in Washington. The most touching thing she said was that we want a country where every child will be cherished-even unborn ones. Let’s send an angel to the White House on Nov. 4th!

My husband and I drove over 2 hours today, walked and waited in the very hot sun ! I would do it again ! Everyone Loves Sarah Palin except the Democrats ! The crowd was equally mixed both men and women and they all went wild when she was speaking! There was at least 30,000 people there. The local fire marshall estimated 60,000. By the way I am an independent and voting McCain/Palin ! Seeing her live today sealed my vote !
