McCain, Palin wow supporters with a big entrance in Albuquerque
.
Republican presidential nominee John McCain was introduced Saturday night by Hollywood actor and Oscar winner Robert Duval at the Albuquerque Convention Center. But Duval wasn’t the biggest surprise of the night.
That came in the way McCain entered the convention center: in an entrance worthy of any rock star, the Straight Talk Express drove straight into the convention center, emerging from a smokescreen to ignite thousands of supporters.
“We must win New Mexico,” McCain said to the crowd after his introduction. “There is no doubt we are going to win New Mexico,” McCain added to a cheering crowd that waved McCain/Palin signs and small American flags in the air.
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who joined McCain in his latest visit to New Mexico, received a rock star’s welcome as well, fresh off her performance at the Republican National Convention. The crowd chanted “Palin! Palin! Palin!” numerous times during the rally – even when she wasn’t speaking. Palin also continued her role as the “pit bull with lipstick” in attacking Obama.
“There are those candidates who use change to promote their careers,” Palin told the crowd. “And then there are candidates like John McCain who use their careers to promote change.”
She attacked Obama and praised McCain by saying, “He’s the only man in this race who’s got what it takes to lead this country” and “There is only one man in this election who has ever really fought for you.”
One teenage Palin fan beamed as she showed off her autograph from Palin on her hand.

Wild Thing’s comment…….
Great responses and another ‘packed house’ as they say. Thank God because we cannot let Obama win!!!
The left is really throwing everything they can come up with at Sarah Palin. I never saw anything like it in my life. Honestly if they keep this up the Republican party is going to have to get some big guns out to speak out about Obama on Ayers, Hamas endorsement, PLO fund raisers for Obama and his saying the most beautiful thing he ever heard was the Islam call to prayer.
I have no idea who their big guns would be but someone that can get on the talking head shows and fight back. There is stuff out there I will not post here, gossip type of things that I will not post at my blog.
Obama is the one with the associations that are terrorists and law breakers and America haters and known racists. NOT McCain and Palin.
Obama is the one that has a wife with an ugly soul that dishes out her not being proud to be an American. And both she and Barack with their bringing race into things. NOT McCain and Palin.
This election is life or death for America and she looks to her Patriots to defend her and keep her the land of the free. With Obama America will take on a whole new meaning and represent something ugly and sick just like Obama is in what he thinks and wants to do to our country.
I have never heard them utter anything racial against Obamanation. Hurricane Sarah calls him “her competitor.” and even went so far as to say that there is much to like about him. Now how is that racist? Our bloggers don’t pull falsehoods out of thin air (like Bristol being Trig’s mother–that show last night proved that! It shows Sarah pregnant with Trig.). We tell the truth and we mean the truth.
Obamanation said the lies won’t come from him, but he doesn’t stop his bloggers, does he?
We WILL win in November and then we can settle down to hopefully working together for what’s good for America. I think Congress has forgotten what they were elected for–us ordinary Americans. They forget it’s the people to the government, not the government to the people.
I hope the Obama camp keeps putting Michele Obama out there – she just cannot keep all that anger inside. Thinking people will see the difference between constructive and destructive dialogue.
The difference between all the whining and b*&tching at the Obama convention and the victory appeals from the RNC convention was plain as day to see.
The Democrats make heroes out of victims.
Sarah Palin is no victim. That just has to grind their chops.
It just hit me, every once in awhile I get a cogent thought, why the donks are so afraid and hate Sarah Palin. She’s represents everybodies, Mom.
PTA, my mother joined the PTA, in 1950 but what the hey same organization. This is what is frustrating them. She represents… Mom, Apple Pie and America… the way it used to be. Nothing complicated just plane, good ordinary people who work hard raise their children without fear of Government intervention, because they know how and don’t need the government to interfere. The complete opposite of the ‘ Obamabots’.
Barack Obama or anyone from his campaign or supporters accusing the McCain campaign of using race against him is like the pot calling the kettle black (I enjoyed writing that). Barack Obama can’t take any criticism or political jabs and is going nuts at the enthusiasm for John McCain and Sarah Palin. He may have been in a controlled primary battle but sure as hell is reeling from the skillful verbal jabs by Sarah Palin. She is drawing political blood and he is whining like a baby.
Lynn……”Obamanation said the lies won’t come from him, but he doesn’t stop his bloggers, does he? “…….oh Lynn so very true. He really has a squad of some baddies.
Yankeemom, I do too, she always manages to make them both look bad.
Mark, you know what she does doesn’t she. That really is it and they hate being reminded of that too..”Mom, Apple Pie and America”…..
Years ago when Clinton was President, Rush Limbaugh said the reason the left was defending him so much with all the ‘gates” crimes, bimbo things etc. was because they liked him because he made their own wrong doing ok. He did not make them feel guilty.
Les, what you said is sure how Obama is and I bet Obama is not sleeping very good either.
