60,000 greet Palin at The Villages in Florida
The big question: Was Murray there or was he still in Mt. Morris playing golf?- The Villages, a vast, upscale planned community north of Orlando, has about 70,000 mostly adult residents -- many of them military retirees -- who vote reliably Republican in statewide races. Tens of thousands inched along roads into the picturesque town square of the complex, where they stood in sweltering heat for about four hours as local GOP officials and a country band revved up the crowd.
"Sa-Rah! Sa-Rah!" they chanted at every mention of her name, applauding loudly and waiving tiny American flags that were distributed -- along with free water bottles -- by local volunteers. The fire chief estimated the crowd at 60,000. Story here.

Murray sez:
Before the big question gets any bigger I thought I'd better let EVERYONE know that I was in Mt. Morris and not The Villages. John and Sarah did not confide in me that they were going to The Villages so I played golf instead with some very needy middle class friends. We're relieved now because both parties are claiming that they are going to help us so we decided that there is no need to bother to vote!
A scary time to be retired and dependent on investments from those evil capitalists that Obama wants to regulate and punish, isn't it?
