Rallying The Politicals

Yesterday was a first for me. I think it is good to experience "firsts" even if you are in your 30's *wink* *wink* Mike and I went to a political rally. We both grew up in North Dakota and for some reason (maybe it's the 3 electoral votes it has or the harsh winters), very few, if any Presidential candidates did any campaigning there. On a side note, my dad said that if they did come thousands and thousands would show up and I believe him!

So, who did we go see? Nobama! But the "mavericks" themselves, McCain and Palin! I can't take credit for the "Nobama" because we saw it on some buttons you could purchase there. Anyway, we went, loved to hear them speak in person. Well, Mike got to see them speak. If I ever hear him complain about being tall again, I'm going to remind him of this experience. They spoke about the economy, about American workers, about the flood here in Cedar Rapids and what needs to happen with Federal government. Pretty much the same thing you here every night on the evening news. There were some protesters, that was pretty cool. We saw them on the news at 10 and apparently they just wanted the "peacefully" make there position known. Yeah, if I wanted to be peaceful protester, for some reason I don't think I would start screaming anti-Republican ideals in a Republican rally. Call me crazy for saying that. No arrests were made. ;)

My last note, McCain and Palin are much shorter in person!

Enjoy the pictures. I uploaded them through blogger so you should be able to click on them to see them larger.
