I had the pleasure of meeting Congressman Hunter when he came to NJ to campaign for a friend of mine who was runnign for congress in my district.

He's quite a guy and fortunately, his son has stepped up and will be advocating even though the Congressman decided to retire

I'm sure she will include a lot of places when she starts gunning for 12.

Mike, thanks for the tip of the hat at Wordsmith.

And you are right. I don't get offended very easily. I think God has just wired me that way.

Perhaps it is because I think that no matter what, I am right. Unless of course I am wrong, about which I posted here.

So did you get to meet her?

Dave said: "no matter what, I am right."

Dave... I feel the same way. And since I am ON the right, I am probably just a tad closer to it that you.

Sadly, I didnt' get to meet Sarah. I'll wait until she comes to South Carolina. It was nice enough just to see her in person and feel the love!

Somehow I don't think it will be long before you meet her Mike, not long at all

Mike , I had the pleasure of seeing Gov. Palin this afternoon in Atlanta. Fantastic lady. She spoke for 15-20 minutes urging support for Saxby. After the event ended she spent approximately 20 minutes going thru the crowd shaking hands and signing autographs. She's definitely still a favorite in our part of the country. Hope to see more of her in 2012.

Gov. Palin will be a great asset to conservatives and to the Republican Party in the future. Hopefully she'll stay visible after the 2008 elections are through and will continue to be a presence on the national political stage, since she is, without question, someone who can energize the conservative base.

Hey!

I may have had blisters on my feet and eventually a broken bone in my right foot, but I at least got to see Sarah Palin up close and personnel and she waved at little 'ol me

I still swear it was worth all the pain lol

USMC: I hope I don't have to wait until 2012 to meet her.

Sharkey: She worked the crowd at the end of the rally here too. I wasn't pushy enough to get up front.

Anthony: They had McCain in Savannah for Chambliss but I'm betting the crowd was bigger and more enthusiastic today for Palin. She's definitetly a good energizer for the GOP

Marie: Next time wear shoes. I did and I have not blisters.

Awesome!! I wish I could've been there.

Marie I remember that LOL! You did good though girl, you really did!

Mike, I doubt it's going to take 4 years!

I hope I have the opportunity to meet her as well. She's quite an example to all of us

Very exciting, Mike! I'm glad that you got to go.

Mike,
Glad you got to go!! I am sure it was worth it.

Well Sarah really pulled through didn't she. Chambliss will retain his Senate seat.

Now, who's da WOMAN!!!!
USMCdaughter1 | Homepage | 12.02.08 - 10:19 pm | #

I'm breathing a sigh of relief on that result USMC.

I hope Chambliss learned his lesson and he won't be joining any more gang of 10 stuff in future.

This victory is living proof of Palin Power!

Congrats to both Chambliss and Palin. Both have a win to walk away with.

I'd say the odds are good Palin is gonna give it a try for 2012, but four years is a long time. The 2010 elections will be a good indicator, though. *Anyone* that wants to make a go of it in 2012 will (and likely must) be out campaigning for others. Whoever helps win races (particularly tough ones, as this run-off was supposed to be) gets the needed street cred and publicity (though Palin's certainly had plenty of the latter already).

Spidey: Palin also gets the appreciation of a very grateful U.S. Senator who may use his influence to help in in 2012 if she needs it.

I hope we will be seeing more of Sarah over the next two years as we ramp up for 2010 then 2012.

Every time Palin gets out there and shows people she's more than the lies and smears that have been said about her by the Dems she makes her case for 2012 stronger.

I hope this was a wake up call for him too Mike. Pay attention to your constituents Senator, otherwise we'll can your sorry hide.

Honestly, can anyone else see a Senator Palin before we see Presidential Candidate Palin?
