Well good ole Sarah Palin came to town a week before the election and low and behold, I forgot to mention that! Well, it was actually totally awesome, and I don't mean that because of her outstanding speech. Actually, by the time that Sarah actually starting reeling away, I had sort of tuned out...it was really cold and it had started raining, to which she reminisced- "It reminds me of home!". cute.
However, the whole ambiance of the rally was so invigorating, and totally awesome. It was the first time that I had been to something like that, something where all sorts of people came together to support such an important and larger than life cause. Sure, I've been to concerts where there are tons of people, supporting the same bands...but it's a totally different experience to go to a political rally...which totally makes me feel like a giant nerd for saying that. Most memorable moment: the totally fat, totally clad in plaid, totally hickish, and totally Sarah "dude" holding a sign which read, "Drill Baby, Drill!", naturally evoking a sort of "Git R Done" mentality.
Least favorite moment(s): I just hated all the hooplah that happened before Sarah came. There should have been a lesser amount of people to announce her arrival because by the time she actually spoke, it's like I said, it was cold and rainy, and I was tuned out. By that time, I had waited in line and been corralled into the gates with the masses for several hours.
I don't mean to complain, I thought that overall, it was a totally awesome experience, and certainly a once in a lifetime one. I'm sure it's something my grandkids will ask me about...I only wish I had paid more attention to what Sarah said...
I like that you compared it to a concert. I had not thought of it like that.
