My question is, though, is McCain and Palin having enough events?

Seems to me, as I look at www.johnmccain.com, there is usually just one or maybe two events on a day. And with McCain and Palin campaigning together, this makes the need for more events more important.

I think they'd be wise to do a whistle stop tour with 3-4 events a day through the following areas:

Minnesota-Wisconsin-Iowa
Ohio-Pennsylvania-Michigan
New Jersey
Virginia
Colorado-New Mexico (just go down i-25)
Oregon-Washington

I'm just concerned we're not filling the calendar enough.









Here is a local news report on the rally held by Sen. John McCain and Gov. Sarah Palin today, Sept. 9, 2008, in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. They drew a large and enthusiastic crowd!







Here is an outstanding video shot by someone in the crowd at the McCain - Palin rally held in Washington, Pennsylvania yesterday, August 30, 2008. It is one of the best I've seen at really giving a sense of the sights and sounds at a McCain event. You can really sense the enthusiasm there. That is an tangible to McCain's choice of Sarah Palin for VP that cannot really be measured by the polls. Clearly, this selection has energized the base of the GOP, which will translate into a much more powerful "ground game" in the run-up to the election - and for the "get-out-the-vote" efforts on November 4.









Here is a local news report on the rally held in Washington, Pennsylvania by Sen. John McCain and Gov. Sarah Palin. The rally was held late this afternoon, before a large and enthusiastic crowd.








Here is video of Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania saying yesterday that he believes John McCain can win Pennsylvania on November 4.








John McCain has pulled within three points of Barack Obama in Pennsylvania in a new Rasmussen Poll there. With "leaners" included, Obama leads McCain 46%-43%, down from a six-point Obama lead last month. When "leaners" are not included, the margin is five - 45%-40%:

Barack Obama leads John McCain by five percentage points in Pennsylvania for the second month in a row. Both candidates have lost some support from a month ago, with the Democrat now favored by 45% while his Republican opponent earns the vote from 40%.

When “leaners” are included, Obama’s lead is down to just three points, 48% to 45%. A month ago, Obama led by six when leaners were included.

The data in Pennsylvania reflects patterns seen elsewhere in recent polling. McCain has more support from Republicans than Obama does from Democrats, and McCain also wins more crossover votes from the other party. The two candidates are even among unaffiliated voters.

Obama wins among younger voters and those who don’t attend church while McCain has a solid lead among senior citizens and regular churchgoers.







Here is a local news report on Sen. John McCain's remarks on energy while campaigning in the Philadephia, Pennsylvania area on August 4, 2008. The report gives a very good synopsis of Barack Obama's attempt to shift slightly his opposition to offshore drilling, while John McCain is calling for clear expansion of offshore drilling to meet the challenge of high gas prices.







Here is raw video of Sen. John McCain and wife Cindy, touring the National Label Company plant in Lafayette Hill, Pennsylvania, just outside Philadelphia, on August 4, 2008.








When will the people of Pennsylvania finally have the opportunity to meet and greet John McCain without putting up or raising thousands upon thousands of dollars? Where is the grass roots campaign of 2000 that worked so well, and had the passion which is lacking in 2008.

A PA County GOP Committee Chairman succinctly answered this question after he received an email that county McCain supporters were to donate $50.00 a piece in the hopes of reaching the $1,000 mark in order to buy "Yard Signs!!??" The Chairman went on to say that in larger counties where there are fat cats who can donate large sums, big money is lacking in smaller rural counties such as his own. This gentlemen stated that they relied on having yard signs to hand out at summer county events, and that his particular county yards would be void of John McCain signs due to the ludicrous request from the McCain Campaign.  read more »
