Washington Whispers is on the road with Sarah Palin today and will be sending dispatches all morning. I first caught her at her rally in Leesburg, Va.

To get to the rally, we had to walk one-fourth mile in the woods.

The crowd at the Leesburg rally included "Proud Rednecks for McCain-Palin."

She's in there somewhere. Can you find Palin in the crowd? Here the crowd cheered, "Use your brain, vote McCain," to which Palin said "You betcha! That's good." And in introducing "Tito the Builder" and "Jack the Hunter," she also ripped "Barack the Wealth Spreader" to about 10,000.

No one says anything with the Ivy-League illuminati draw all their crowds. People believe in her, and look passed all the criticism that the liberally biased media give her.

Besides Tito the Builder who is Latino, was there anyone there of diversity? I've looked at many photos and videos posted about the rally and I can't see one person who was black, asian, or Latino. Just curious...

If you can find a state that does not have "rednecks",

racists, bigots, "anti-socialists", "THOSE WHO KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT NOTHING" -- then you must know something that everyone else does not.

Why does EVERYTHING POLITICAL turn into a name bashing, idiotic, situation?

Leesburg VA is part of Loudoun County -- home to major IT companies, large defense contractor companies, and

other professional/managerial companies --

So unless you know the demographics of the area, which is obvious that most of you do not -- I guess it is just easier to make generalizations -- unfortunately for you, they are incorrect.

By the way, if you are so politically inclined, have the knowledge, then why is your NAME NOT ON THE TICKET?
