Republican Sen. John McCain hoped Virginia really would be his country as he and Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin appeared in Virginia Beach this morning. "The national media has written us off, but they forgot to let you decide," McCain told the crowd of 20,000 supporters chanting "Nobama" in a local convention center.
Country singer Hank Williams Jr. played for the crowd, but the real surprise was the McCain-Palin entrance music--the theme from "Rocky." Hey, remember when Hillary Clinton did that way back in the primaries? Good times!
McCain is currently speaking in Wilmington, North Carolina at a town meeting, while his running mate rallies the faithful in Richmond. Tomorrow, the Straight Talk Express is Pennsylvania-bound as McCain hosts a town hall meeting for women in Blue Bell, while Palin speaks at a rally in the Electric City of Scranton.]]>
