MEDIA Pa - Sarah Palin threatened to steal the show from running mate John McCain as she warmed up the crowd at their joint appearance at a rally on Monday in Pennsylvania.
“Sarah, Sarah, Sarah,” chanted the crowd as the Republican vice presidential candidate stepped on stage in the town of Media.
“I see a lot of hockey moms out there for McCain,” she said as the crowd roared its approval. She went on to introduce her family, calling husband Todd ”Alaska’s First Dude,” before pointing out their daughters Willow and Piper.
Palin quickly launched into criticisms of Democratic Sen. Barack Obama, whom she said “likes to point the finger of blame but, tell me, has he ever lifted a finger to help?”
“In order to get others to say ‘Yes’ to change, has he ever told his own party ‘No?’” she asked. “When it comes to reform, he likes to say, ‘I will,’ but has he ever been able to say, ‘We did?’”
The two Republican candidates go their separate ways again on Tuesday, when McCain campaigns in Ohio and Michigan while Palin meets with several foreign leaders in New York.

Yes to McCain/Palin, leaders that stand for America. Not tax and spend liberals like Obama who will only take more money for failed social programs. I also live in suburban Philadelphia and we have large numbers who support McCain and the number is growing.
- Posted by MarcThe people going to vote for Obama ,new young voters do not have good education and do not know how to select a good person . For matured person all they want ” HANDS on “like Give me Give me.
Watch it a vote for is a vote for terrorist, Iran ,Chaves,North Korea ,Cuba, including Resko,Wright, Farrakhan,and Pledger. Also , did you see the smile of Biden, I, don`t think he can be trusted.
- Posted by Flores GuevarraI chuckled at the comment posted by one who said the following and then chastised others for bad grammar and spelling:
“As one of the Obama supporters people their I can tell you exactly what that was about.”
However, it was good for a laugh.
But in all honesty, McCain tells things as they are. Obama states pipe dreams. Beware of slick talkers, for con-artists are the slickest-talkers of all. Hearing actual facts isn’t always pleasant, but McCain is willing to state them. I pray people listen and don’t vote for Obama’s impossible promises that sound good, but which even Obama knows he can’t fulfill.
Palin is a wonderful, down-to-earth person and will be a very capable Vice President. The way her family is being ridiculed is abominable, but she seems to take it all in stride.
