Today I attended the Sarah Palin Road to Victory Rally in Polk City, FL. It was about 30 min from campus, so it was not a long drive. I woke up at 7am and myself and a few friends left at 8am for the rally. The doors opened at 9am, so we wanted to get there a little early. We waited in line for an hour (830-930) then stood for 2 hours waiting for it to start. It lasted 1 hour total. So we were standing on our feet for 4 hours, then sat in the car in the parking lot for 1.5 hours waiting in line to leave. All in all, it was definitely worth it! It was at the regional airport (not in use) so there was limitless parking on the grass and the rally was held in the plane hangar. I really enjoyed it! It's the only political rally I've been to, other than President Bush's first Inauguration at the White House in 2000, but that's not a rally.
Sarah Palin did a great job. John McCain was actually in my hometown while I was at the Palin rally, so I thought that was pretty cool. I came within 4 body widths of Sarah Palin! So close! Here are some of the day's snaps: (click on picture to enlarge)

Look at all the Secret Service. I was within 4 body widths of her!
So close!
Great Speaker!

What an awesome opportunity!
Thank you for sharing your pics. I love the one with her husband on stage and the Secret Service in front of the platform.
Housewives for Palin,
