Road to Victory Rally in Jacksonville, Florida

**11.22 am** The Rally was unable to be broadcast live due to techincal issues. There is another event scheduled for Pensacola, and I will keep the player embedded until 2 pm so that Rally may be watched (if they are able to broadcast it). I will put up a new post for the Greenville, NC Rally...which is expected to be sometime this evening.

Governor Sarah Palin will be in Jacksonville, Florida today after being in Southwest Florida yesterday. The doors to this event open at 7 am and the event is expected to begin at 10 am.

You may watch the event live here.



**9.10 am** The sound is really bad right now, but I am hoping that they clean it up by showtime.


Yesterday she was in Clearwater and here is an excerpt from The St. Petersburg Times report:



CLEARWATER — Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin lived up to her "Barracuda" nickname Monday morning in Clearwater, ripping Barack Obama as an unpatriotic tax raiser who is friendly with terrorists and does not support American troops abroad.

The McCain campaign is aiming in the final 30 days of the race to focus less on specific economic issues and more on raising questions about Obama's character. Palin made clear Monday that she will be a chipper and relentless attack dog.

"I am just so fearful that this is not a man who sees America the way that you and I see America, as the greatest source for good in this world," she told thousands of supporters gathered at Coachman Park in downtown Clearwater.

"There's a pattern here of a left-wing agenda that is packaged and prettied up to look like mainstream policies," Palin said. "The problem with our opponent's agenda is that higher taxes and bigger government and activist courts and retreat in war, that's not the right track for our country. That's another dead end."

Kicking off a two-day swing through Florida for campaign rallies and fundraisers, Palin, 44, was upbeat and energetic as she delivered the most aggressively negative campaign speech Florida has seen this election cycle. The campaign encouraged reporters to focus on the part of her speech where she hit Obama for associating with '60s radical Will Ayers, a founder of the organization Weather Underground that bombed buildings in the 1970s.

When your supporters are calling your opponent a "terrorist" and suggesting that he be killed, you've got a real problem.

And, as far as Ayers goes, he's a distinguished professor, educational philanthropist, and continues to sit on a Board populated with Republicans and Democrats.

Here's another way of looking at it:

"Gleason says it's "hard to believe" that Obama didn't know about Ayers' background. Actually, it's not that hard to believe at all. If you have access to the Nexis service, as I do, you can read the coverage of Ayers' school reform activities in Chicago in the mid-1990s. Hard as might be for the Sean Hannitys and Robert Gleasons of the world to imagine, the articles by and large make no mention that this guy pushing for smaller class sizes was also a former 1960s radical. Why would articles, other than a lengthy profile of Ayers, mention that -- considering that Ayers has never been convicted of a crime and by the 1990s had been accepted by Mayor Richard Daley and others as a school reformer?"
