Her second scheduled stop is in Fredericksburg at Hurkamp Park.
She plans to finish her Virginia swing with a stop in Salem at the Salem Civic Center.
Palin drew about 20,000 people to an Oct. 13 rally at Richmond International Raceway.

how many ways can this woman steal from the taxpayers? she dresses herself and her family on our dime, bills the taxpayers of alaska each night she spends in her own home, kept our tax dollars for the bridge to nowhere she never built and sold the corporate jet to her largest campaign doner at a loss.
and she wants to be our next president?
we see how a palin-mccain administration will operate. tax the poor to support the rich life style of the already rich.
even a pig would look good in a $5,000 dress!
This woman continues to be an embarrassment to her ticket and her party. She spent 150 thousand dollars of tax payer money on clothes and she calls herself a reformer? I call her a scam artist. And despite being well dressed, she still doesn’t know what a vice president does! I still wonder what McCain was thinking. I bet he does too at this point.
Dear JohnTheMan,
I am sorry for making fun of your post “what is a chuffer?“ reference. You were joking because you closed by saying “Finally she is smarter than Senator Barak Obama.“ I think you spelled his first name wrong.
Per the New York Times 2/6/1990, “The Harvard Law Review, generally considered the most prestigious in the country, elected the first black president in its 104-year history today. The job is considered the highest student position at Harvard Law School.“
I’m sorry, but they were not talking about the “4 time-transfer Sarah”. I’m glad she finally graduated so she doesn’t stick the State of Alaska with her student loan debt. Doh!!!!
JohnTheMan: What’s a chuffer? My concern about Palin is that she has an answer for all her behavior/abusive powers: TrouperGate, ClothingGate, TransportationGate. She can justify her way out of anything and tell us that Obama isn’t qualified. Is McCain qualified? He has no executive experience like Palin does. But Palin is so versed in our Constitution. As VEEP, she is in charge of the Senate and can whip some good policies into place. Betcha! per her recent explanation to 3rd graders (or was that 4th graders. sorry if i have this part wrong). Hardly. I propose this evidence be named SenateGate or VEEPGate. As for the clothing fiasco, why so expensive? I didn’t think hunting gear at K-Mart was so expensive. If she can’t afford to spend her own money, there is something called layaway, and after McCain gets into office and redistributes our money to the rich, the rest of us will get more familiar with layaway.
“Politico reported yesterday that the Republican National Committee spent some $150,000 on high-end clothes and accessories for Palin and her family.“
Now our tax dollars are dressing the whole freaking family!
If this was a MasterCard ad - it would end with “priceless!“.
Just read on the internet news that Palin says the situation is in god’s hand. Is MCcain finally passing on? Or does she mean the Republican campaign is dying or has already died.
As a holy roller Pentacostal, does she get down and roll and jabber in unknown tongues. Maybe if elected, instead of a WH Easter egg roll, they could have a holy roll bush arbor meeting at the WH.
Oh help G&G;, pxanon, anonmom, and other board censors. I can hardly csatch my breath. Did you see that incorrect use of the word “ know” in DTRT’sostn trollop Palin? How illitetrate = both i post content and spelling. Now we just can’t have such trashy writtings on this pure and heavily trolled boardm can we.
And “feel a need to trash women”...did he mean feel a need for a trashy woman”?
And redcall how the repub slurmongers always trashed Hillary Clinton. Why this DTRT guy must vbe on some of Cindy McCain’s drugs.
You monitors should do a better job of monitoring the Reopubs contents of posts on this board.
And these non-sexist words from johntheman, a Palin supporter, posted below:
“Our beautiful soon to be Vice President Sarah Palin is the best ...“
Yea, I’m the one with women issues.
“For the first time since Palin joined the GOP ticket, more voters have a negative opinion of her than a positive one, 47 to 38 percent, according to a new NBC/Wall Street Journal poll.”
doright, I thought I’d post this again in case you did not read the whole article.
47% of the voters polled have a negative opinion of her. There is either a lot of “macho men” out there or there are a lot of people that simply feel she is not qualified to be president at this time.
Has she become an anchor on the McCain Campaign? You Betcha!
“I guess some men have high standards of conduct and don’t feel a need to trash women.“
At the risk of this coming off wrong, we are not talking about Sarah Palin - woman - but Sarah Palin - candidate for vice president of these United States.
In that context, it is our duty to point out when a candidate misuses campaign contributions for personal gain - and which, I believe, has been pointed out that such action is illegal.
If Ms. Palin cannot take criticism of her political actions, then perhaps she is not a strong enough person to run for office.
I did not see the Republicans taking such pity on Hillary Clinton. No, they treated her as they would any other opponent.
If you feel Ms. Palin is too dainty or is not capable of answering to her critics, then perhaps you are the one looking down on her, ever ready to “be a man” and defend her.
