They came they were heard and they were loud. The Virginia Beach Pavilion was packed standing room only. Arms in fold pacing back and forth behind McCain was a surprise in the background. Hank Williams JR was on stage as if he were there to protect John McCain abd Sarah Palin. This is a big man. McCain made a remark he didn't know why he was there but it was ok. Williams had to have approval prior or he would not have been up there. Williams arms crossed the whole time paced the stage as if he dared anyone to aproach McCain. The Rally was great I have to say I'm not Republican but I was really impressed when our community came together for this Rally. Palin did stumble on the Naval Air Station Oceana. When she started talking about the base she refered to it as Oceana (O cee ana) Naval Air Force Bace. I though you could hear a pin drop in that room when she did that. You could tell she knew she said something wrong but she moved right on. When McCain started to speak I couldn't believe the crowd they applauded for at least five mnutes before he could speak. McCain stated it was like coming home for him. Virginia Beach was the first place he was stationed also that his son was stationed here. The video link is at the bottom of this story watch it for yourself. I will say too I was touched at the Rally the speaches that McCain and Palin gave, I only wish we could believe what Politicians say. That goes for any Politician.
VIRGINIA BEACH -- Republican John McCain pledged to fight for a new direction for the country in an energetic new campaign stump speech Monday that sought to distance him from the economic policies of President Bush.
"We cannot spend the next four years as we have spent much of the last eight: waiting for our luck to change," McCain said while campaigning with running mate Sarah Palin in this once reliably Republican state that has become a battleground this year. "The hour is late; our troubles are getting worse; our enemies watch. We have to act immediately. We have to change direction now."
The Arizona senator insisted he understood Americans' concerns about the deepening financial crisis, even as fears about the meltdown have moved voters firmly in Democrat Barack Obama's direction in recent weeks.The repudiation of the Republican incumbent's economic policies came as McCain has struggled to find a message that would reverse his sagging poll results nationally and in some battleground states. Yet, McCain echoed a line from President George H.W. Bush and his son, George W. Bush, about Democrats "measuring the drapes" that proved ineffectual for the GOP in 1992 and 2006.
