Palin Maine-ia
GREENSBORO, NC –
Sarah Palin asked the crowd of a few thousand screaming supporters in an airplane hangar in Bangor, Maine what they thought of her running mate’s debate performance last night. Upon hearing the right answer she shouted, “Yes! Yes!”
She then laid out the differences between the two candidates and not surprisingly praised John McCain and went after Barack Obama, “It’s the choice between a politician who puts his faith in government and a leader who puts his faith in all of you,” Palin said. “The choice between a politician who wants to raise taxes and redistribute your hard earned money according to his priorities and a true reformer who wants to lower taxes and create jobs and get this economy back on track.”
The GOP Vice-Presidential nominee brought up the most famous man after the final presidential debate last night, not either of the candidates, but “Joe the Plumber.” She said a McCain-Palin administration will help small business owners, but the Democratic ticket specifically the “other Joe,” Joe Biden will raise taxes.
“It’s the choice between a candidate who will raise your taxes, and that threatens our future, and a leader who’s going to Washington to work for Joe the plumber and people like my sister’s family. My sister, who owns a service station and millions of you small business owners, millions of Americans struggling to sustain a small business, these are the differences,” Palin said. “You know, we want to cut taxes because we think like Joe or Jane the plumber thinks, OK? Our opponents want to raise taxes because they think like that other Joe, that six-term senator from Delaware whom I’m running against.”
Palin repeated one of John McCain’s lines from last night and said that the Democrats’ strategy of comparing McCain to the current administration is wearing “very, very thin.”
“As John McCain reminded Barack Obama last night, if he wanted to run against George Bush he had his chance four years ago. This year the name on the ballot is John McCain and America knows that John McCain is his own man, he is the maverick.”
She asked for Maine’s help on Election Day and like her rallies yesterday in New Hampshire, she questioned the Democratic nominee’s dedication to fair elections. She attacked Obama for his ties to ACORN, “In this election, it’s a choice between a candidate who won’t disavow a group committing voter fraud and a leader who will not tolerate the voter fraud.” Palin said, “Maine, soon the choice will be yours to make, and I’m sure that you all remember the saying that as Maine goes, so goes the nation. Yes. So I am here to ask you, are you ready to help us carry the state of Maine to victory?”
John McCain’s number two was introduced by the Senior Senator from Maine, Olympia Snowe and Palin brought back one of her earliest lines telling the crowd that Maine knows about electing women–especially Republican women–to higher office, “It’s so great to be here in the state that has elected Sen. Margaret Chase Smith, has elected Sen. Olympia Snowe and Sen. Susan Collins. Maine, you all know something about those cracks in the glass ceiling, but the women of America aren’t finished yet. Maine with your help this November we are going to shatter once and for all that final glass ceiling.”
The Alaska governor told the excited crowd of Mainers–many holding signs that said “Maine for McCain-Palin”–that being here reminds her of her home state, “I feel like I am at home because I see the Carhartt’s and the steel-toed boots. And I see mixed in there with the suits and the ties, the NRA hats and all those good things that remind me of home.”
Palin is hoping the more rural second district of Maine will help her ticket out with their one electoral vote. The first district which includes the city of Portland is heavily leaning towards the Democratic ticket.
“Laforest” seems like one of the more intellectual/controversial regulars
