Palin Power: Base motivator

How big, still, is Sarah Palin among the GOP base?

Her rally in Pensacola Tuesday had to be moved from an airport hangar to the local civic center to accomodate the crowd. The civic center seats 10,000.

It's this kind of enthusiasm, not to mention antipathy toward Obama, that will ensure Republicans come out in droves in red bulwarks like the Florida panhandle. Such turnout is key as it helps the GOP pile up large margins to offset more Democratic-leaning parts of the state.

ALSO: Palin's Ft. Myers-area rally tomorrow had to be moved to a sports arena because of the anticipated crowd.

1. Are they counting the hecklers?

And train wreck enthusiasts?

[notadmblnd]

2. I read that it was 3/4 full so that means 7500 or so?

compare that the the 35,000 that showed up in Detroit recently to listen to Obama.

9. or the 23,000 in Asheville this w eekend.

Look, this woman is just pandering to the right-wing base. She is only going where she will be received well. Nothing has changed.

[tledford]

13. Or the 20,000 in Greensboro on 9/27... eom

[TwilightGardener]

3. Her pathetic horny racist Freeper fans will turn out for her. The rest of the

country says, Oh HELL no do we want this crazy brainless twit stepping in as Prez when McLoonie strokes out.

6. $25,000 a plate dinner in Boca Raton tonight

At the Boca Raton Club. And I know at least three attendees. Don't get me started. I swear I'll be typing all night.

12. That area is still pretty Democratic.

My aunt and uncle live there. Lots of Jews from New York/New Jersey/New England would swallow cyanide before voting republican (Auntie Ruth's words, not mine).

[sixmile]

14. A lot of big money folks here would swallow cyanide

before voting Democratic, too. Especially one of "those people". (sarcasm definitely ON)

7. Eww. Pensacola.

Sorry, but that place sucks.

[Dukkha]

8. it was for safety reasons

Her voice reverberating in the airport hanger acoustics would have that “scanner” effect where people’s heads spontaneously explode

[w13rd0]

11. it was for safety reasons...

...they heard McCain was going to fly in to visit with the crowd, and they wanted a crew onsite familiar with airplane wrecks...

[uppityperson]

18. it was for safety reasons...

they didn't want any repubs around their airplanes.

10. It's very big among very small minded people

[nc4bo]

15. How big is it? umm.......errr..........about 6-8 inches big? nt

[kayakjohnny]

16. A crowd always gathers at an accident scene.

Maybe people just want to be there when she 'unloads the big one'. She's like a freak show at a carnival. There's always a line to see 'Rat Boy'.

[Wiley50]

17. My enthusiasm for her is shriveled and done crawled up my ass n/t

[kayakjohnny]

19. Are you saying she hunts gerbils, too?
