7,000 cheer McCain, Palin near Youngstown

Senator says he would shape up Wall Street

By Stephanie Warsmith
Beacon Journal staff writer

POSTED: 06:38 p.m. EDT, Sep 16, 2008

VIENNA: Sen. John McCain promised a crowd of more than 7,000 Tuesday near Youngstown that he would get tough on Wall Street.

''Government has the responsibility to act in the public interests,'' he told the boisterous audience that filled an expansive hangar at the Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport. ''That's exactly what I intend to do.''

The crowd was eager to hear McCain and running mate Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who made their first joint Northeast Ohio appearance.

Palin was clearly a big draw for many, including a few women who waved their lipsticks in the air — a reference to a quip Palin made during the Republican National Convention.

Many wore McCain-Palin T-shirts and buttons and waved signs in the air.

McCain and Palin were both joined by their spouses.

Palin had been in Canton on Monday, where she attended a $2,500-a-plate fundraiser at the Brookside Country Club that raised nearly $1 million for the Republican National Committee, W.J. ''Tim'' Timken Jr., the Timken Co. chairman, told the Canton Repository.

Prior to the Tuesday rally, Sen. Barack Obama's campaign held a conference call taking aim at a remark McCain made Monday that ''the fundamentals of our economy are strong.''

Sen. Sherrod Brown and U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan said this comment shows how McCain is out of touch with people in Ohio and across the country who are struggling.

''This week, the contrast is clearer than ever,'' Brown said. ''Barack Obama will fight for the middle class.''

Agreed, johnny. McSame actually has the nerve to call Obama a "celebrity". What do you call it then, when the kool-aide drinking dittohead faithful turn out in significantly larger numbers to see Palin than McSame? Who is the "celebrity" in this case? Sounds like McSame has unwittingly upstaged himself on his own ticket.

We have had eight years of Bush and Cheney stonewalling and obstructing justice and blaming the opposition party. And so the GOP nominates Sarah Palin, who in Alaska has been stonewalling and obstructing justice and blaming the opposition party with this troopergate scandal. McCain Palin? It's more like McSame Falin.

Did she lie again again about the teleprompter going out at the convention during her speech?
