The crowd is pumped at Palin rally


The crowd at the Sarah Palin rally is pumped.

The youthful audience of college students has been cheering about once every 30 seconds since the Republican vice presidential candidate began speaking.

She's gotten large cheers at the usual applause lines — especially a line about helping students pay for college and a mention of East Carolina University's recent football win.

After Palin said that McCain wasn't afraid to use the word "victory" about Iraq, the crowd chanted "U.S.A., U.S.A." During a talk about offshore drilling, they chanted "Drill, baby, drill."

At the mention of Barack Obama's name, they've also briefly booed and chanted "Nobama" and a few individuals even yelled out "Liar."

After Palin claimed that Obama "voted to cut off the funding for our troops," one young man yelled "Show me the money!"

Later, another man yelled out "Palin for President" during a brief quiet moment.

Her attacks on Obama are shameless - she's a PIG - with or without lipstick. Any American who votes for this unqualified moron should have their head examined.

"Palin needs to focus on the domestic terrorist in her own bed."

I got a good chuckle out of that! ...doubt many are going to even know what you are referring to, but it's certainly something that should be brought up.
