Sarah's 'Spunk' a Selling Point in the South Bay

Some sellers in California can't unload their Palin Syrah, but in the South Bay some can't wait to get a taste of Sarah Palin. The Republican vice presidential nominee is headed to So Cal for a rally at the Home Depot Center in Carson on October 4th, and folks were eager to get their tickets yesterday from the Republican campaign offices in Torrance.

The Daily Breeze spoke with those who showed up to score tickets to the rally, and found one fan who said McCain was fine, but Palin "makes the ticket. She's spunky." Another convert to the Palin-ites was a man who "said that he was unfamiliar with Palin at first, but watched her convention acceptance speech with tears in his eyes." He told the Breeze: "She represents everyone I deal with in my life. She's the average person," and that "she's a great role model for the young girls of the country." The Breeze did not mention whether or not this man only associated with state-level politicians or if he thought Palin's daughter, Bristol, was just as good a role model.

If you want to see the spunky, lipstick-sporting, average gal, hockey mom Palin in person next Saturday, you can get tickets by emailing california[at]johnmccain.com or going to the Torrance Republican campaign headquarters, which is the only South Bay-area office to have them.

she's "spunky" and "the average person"

what amazing reasons to vote someone to the 2nd highest position in the world.

maybe the breeze should ask some of the palin supporters what she actually stands for instead of this sappy BS.

That's a good read aclind. Thanks for posting the link.

 

i fear for us all.

 

you only need to be smarter than half the population. i'll cry myself to sleep now.

 

Home Depot in Carson spells class.

 

She's a joke. And I'm not laughing...

 

The one thing I noticed from reading the Daily Breeze's comment section for their articles on Palin is how in retreat their normal right wing and racist pool of trolls seems to be. Even amongst their hardcore readership there seems to be an unusual lack of support for Palin.
