The drive-by Obamunist media and pollsters are trying to convince us that Sarah Palin is a “drag” on John McCain’s presidential ticket.
Meanwhile local televeision station WNEP, located in Joe Biden’s hometown of Scranton, PA, reports on the visits of the two vice presidential candidates to nearby Williamsport on the same day (emphasis mine):
There is excitement in the air in Williamsport. Thousands of fans of both vice presidential hopefuls, Democrat Senator Joe Biden and Republican Governor Sarah Palin, are cheering on their favorites in Williamsport.
An enthusiastic crowd was on hand at Lycoming College to hear Democratic vice
presidential hopeful Senator Joe Biden.It all started around 2 p.m. at Lycoming College’s Lamade Gymnasium on Mulberry Street. Several hundred people packed the gym for a opportunity to show their support for the Obama – Biden ticket.
-snip-
As Biden was speaking at Lycoming College, Republicans were filing into Bowman Field, just a few miles away. That’s where Alaska Governor Sarah Palin will speak at about 7 p.m.
At least 10,000 tickets have been given out to see the Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.
Joe Biden can only draw a few hundred people in his old stomping grounds, while Sarah Palin attracts thousands in the same town on the same day?
Who’s the real ticket-dragger?

The same thing happened here in MO

Alyosha Friday, October 31st at 12:02PM EST (link)I absolutely agree with your argument, but as a central PA resident I must say it’s hard to call Williamsport “nearby” Scranton. The two are two hours apart on a good day.
That said, the folks in Williamsport are exactly the kind of “Regular Joes” Biden was supposed to be attracting to Obama. I guess not all of us identify with the guy wearing 10lbs cuff links.

Swamp_Yankee (Diary) Friday, October 31st at 10:16PM EST (link)The MSM is so full of crap. The NYT/CBS polls are so bad. Eddie is scared and told the paper that Palin has enthused the base and is drawing thousands wherever she goes.

The rest of Biden's fans were waiting for him at the Imaginary Diner

Why on earth is Pa so stubborn?
Jumpedship (Diary) Friday, October 31st at 11:59PM EST (link)**We need their help. I certainly am not calling anyone from Pa stupid. I’m just wondering how Obama is keeping so much support after he characterizes Pennsylvanians as a bunch of redneck hicks who “cling to their guns and religion.” He ran them down, behind their backs, two-faced as hell!
Then one of Pa’s own calls them a bunch of redneck racists!
How on earth, do people listen to this crap and still give Obama even a thread of chance to take the state, I’ll never know.
John McCain is NOT George Bush.
