- A crowd estimated at 17,000 welcomed John McCain and Sarah Palin to Missouri.
An estimated 17,000 supporters turned out this afternoon at T.R. Hughes Ballpark, home of the River City Rascals minor league baseball team in O’Fallon, Mo., to welcome Republican presidential nominee-to-be John McCain and his running mate, Sarah Palin, to the Show-Me State. The rally marked the first time both members of the the McCain-Palin ticket had campaigned together in Missouri.

Missouri Republican Party leaders, including Gov. Matt Blunt, Sen. Kit Bond, Rep. Kenny Hulshof, former Sen. Jim Talent, warmed up the capacity crowd prior to the arrival of the Straighttalk Express bus carrying McCain, Palin and an entourage that included several national figures. Among those accompanying the Arizona senator and Alaska governor were McCain’s wife Cindy, former presidential contenders Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee and country music superstar John Rich.

Not to be outdone by the throngs of national news media representatives who arrived along with the Republican Party hopefuls, local news media outlets — including 97.1 FM Talk’s Jamie Allman and Crane Durham of Allman and Crane in the Morning — also covered the rally (photo at right).

And just think - they turned out to actually hear the candidates, rather than to hear a freebie concert by a rock band:) McCain and Palin don’t need the freebie extras to “lure” thousands of people. What does that tell us, America?

Your prayer for rain, to deluge the DNC has obviously backfired on you, and rightfully so. You wished ill-will toward the DNC, shamelessly, in front of the entire world, and now that deluge of rain is in the form of double whammy, resulting in NO-convention for the RNC.

By the way, spinmeisters, there WAS a concert too. Just so you know, thousands turned out for the music.

John,
I was there. You must have went to the wrong venue — that is, unless you call John Rich playing two songs “a concert.” Keep spinning, John!
