I just got back this evening from an exciting afternoon in York, Pa. where VP candidate Sarah Palin, joined by Alaska's "First Dude" Todd and cute little daughter Piper, addressed a high spirited crowd at a campaign rally. Palin fired up the crowd and addressed several issues, including the economy and taxes, energy and national security, along with her special concern for the care of special needs children and the protection of human life. She quoted Pennsylvania's late Democratic Governor Robert Casey on the importance of protecting and assisting the vulnerable.
One definite impression is that Sarah Palin is even more charismatic in person than she appears on TV. No matter the intense attacks on her from other sources, those who come out to her rallies express an intense and warm affection.
While most opinion polls show Barack Obama still leading by various but narrowing margins, there does not seem to be any "enthusiasm gap" among McCain-Palin supporters in central Pennsylvania. Those I talked to mentioned the preponderance of McCain signs in the York area. Of course, given the enthusiasm nationwide on both sides, I won't draw any definite conclusions about the outcome. But now, I'm really pumped going into these final days before the election.
Late word: Drudge is reporting Zogby showing McCain up by one-point (48-47)!
