KEY BLOCK----- Hello All, Just got off the phone with our tracker, Jacob, on the ground in Hershey, PA. Below are the notes from our call. Big Highlights*[McCain Highlights]* - 2 mavericks don't always agree, but it's a lot of fun - Says Obama has made a lot of promises. first he said people making less than $250k would benefit from his plan, then this weekend he announced in an ad that if you're a family making less than $200k you'll benefit -- yesterday in PA Biden said tax relief should only go to "middle class people -- people making under $150k/year." - Says It's interesting how their definition of rich has a way of creeping down. At this rate, it won't be long before Senator Obama is right back to his vote that Americans making just $42k / year should get a tax increase - says Obama wants to punish the successful, I want to make people successful. - Chides: no one will delay World Series w/ an infomercial when I'm president - Repeats Palin will reform old-boy network just like she did in AK - Vows we'll fool the pundits and win PA - this state is independent and thats why we're gonna win - Brings up obama's comments 7 yrs ago for "resdistributive change" -- Repeats line that Obama will be Redistributionist-in-Chief *[Palin Highlights]* - disrupted by Obama demonstrators -- repeats standard line that she's tempted to have them stay and learn something from all of you Hershey, PA: McCain / Palin Rally 10/28/08 (Disclaimer: The following are notes, not direct quotes. If you'd like a quotable transcript or video of any part below, please email us.) Background details* * * - about 8000-9000 ppl (75% full, seats in 2nd tier and behind press risers mostly empty) - People wearing Obama shirts stood up during Palin's speech w/ signs and were escorted out - Tracker didn't see any demonstrators outside the event - Mike Duhaime spotted walking around the press risers - Before event, lights went down and videos of Palin speech excerpts (ppl being excited about her) and McCain biography (focusing on his time as POW and being tortured, McCain tells 'cross-in-the-dirt' story) were shown - Intros - Tom Corbitt (AG) gives intro remarks - I cant wait to hear from McCain, and I definitely can't wait to hear from Palin (crowd roars) - State Rep. Jeff Poppola - Straight Talk Express bus pulls into stadium to "Eye of The Tiger" -- Cindy, John, Sarah and Todd descend - Cindy McCain intros McCain Speech Highlights [Palin Highlights] - - Thank you so much. Thank you PA. It is so good to be here with you and to be here with the next first lady of the US first lady, Cindy McCain - Alaska's first dude, commercial fisherman, production operator, great dad, 4 time world champion of Iron Dog. - You are such a welcoming and patriotic state, I know we have patriots here. Raise your hands if you are veterans, let us honor you. We thank you for your service and sacrifice - Come down to the wire here. PA, ready to carry this state to victory? Make John McCain next Pres? Send us to Washington to shake things up? - A week from today will be our time for choosing [booing] [John McCain] - I don't know, when we hear protests like that, tempted to tell security to let them stay so they can learn a thing or two from you. - Need a leader with experience, good judgment, isn't afraid to use the word victory. Served for 22 yrs, POW. Kind of man I want as commander in chief. - We know that when it comes to national security it is a given it must be JM. - On our economy, you have such a choice. Our opponent not being candid. Not mean-spirited, not negative campaigning to call someone out on their record. In fairness to you, our voters. Hiding being agenda of redistributing your hard-earned money. Takes your money and gives it away according to politicians' priorities. JM, tax cut. - Gotta hand it to Joe the Plumber. Got our opponent to state his intentions in plain language. Spread the wealth. Govt. taking your money, from small business, and doling it out. Joe Biden calls it patriotic. Joe the Plumber says it sounds like socialism. Not the time to experiment like that. - Joe the chocolate maker. "I am Joe-mama". Yesterday, Tito Munos owns small construction company. "Tito the Builder" Not happy with roughing up Joe the Plumber. Tito question of his own, wants to know, why the heck are you going after Joe the Plumber? He has a future. He wants something else. Why is that so wrong? Immigrant from Columbia. Everything is possible in America. I made it, and Joe can make it bigger than me. Born in Columbia, but made in the USA [USA] - Tito isn't only McCain supporter who feels that way. Small business owners here with us. If you know what hard work feel like, and if you don't want your dreams dashed by Obama, then you're Joe the Plumber too. And we're all in this together. Doesn't sound like too many of support Barack the Wealth Spreader. His attempt to distribute stifles entrepreneurial spirit that makes this greatest country on earth - John McCain will lower your taxes, double child tax deduction, capital gains tax, cut business tax to keep businesses in America. - Set this nation on course to energy independence. Drill here, drill now. [drill baby drill]. That's right, drill baby drill, and mine baby mine. Because we need American resources, brought to you by American ingenuity, by American workers. - Our opponents put our faith in govt. John and I put our faith in you. We believe in R.R., forward movement of freedom, not constant expansion of govt. We believe that the best of America not all in DC. Here in kindness and courage of everyday Americans. Grow our food, teach our children, fight our wars. This is where the goodness is . America is not the problem. America is the solution. Shining city on a hill that Reagan used to speak of. Someone that inspires us with heroic deeds, not just words. - PA, if you believe in what we believe in, shake up Wall Street, get economy on track, win the war- we need your votes. A week from now you're going to hear our opponents say they will fight for you. There is only one man in this race who has ever really fought for you. Only one man with the courage to keep on fighting for you. [McCain Highlights] - - Thank you, thank you. Isn't this just going to be a marvelous vp of America? You know, I couldn't be more pleased because of your enthusiasm. One place not enthused, old boy network. Palin will show them reform, like she did in AK. When two Mavericks join up, we don't believe in everything. Todd broke his arm and finished the race, do you think he's afraid of anything in DC? - Cindy McCain. A word of gratitude. Tom Ridge, best governor. Friend and comrade. - Wonderful to fool the pundits. We're going to win on November 4th. We can't spend the next 4yrs like the last 8. Waiting for luck to change at home and abroad. I've been fighting, have the scars to prove it. If I'm elected, will shake up Washington. I'm not afraid of the fight, I'm ready for it. Hold the line on taxes, cut them, double the child deduction, cut capital gains tax, cut business taxes. Raising taxes makes bad economy worse. Keeping taxes low creates jobs. Senator Obama will spend another trillion of your money. I going to make govt. live on a budget, just like you do. Freeze govt spending, except for defense, vets, social security, healthcare. Veto every pork barrel earmark bill. You will know their names. [no more pork] No more pork, that's right. Not going to bail out bankers and brokers that got us into this mess. Take care of people devastated by excess of wall street. Mortgage plan to your neighbor doesn't default. Stay with American dream of staying in your home. - We're going to stop sending billions overseas to countries that don't like us very much . We're going to stop it. In debate, I paid a great appreciation to Obama's eloquence, gotta pay attention to his words. he said he did blah, blah,blah. We don't need to consider off shore drilling. Says for nuclear fuel, doesn't want to store or reprocess. We've been sailing navy ships around the world and its safe. Creating 45 new nuclear powerplants- create jobs. Clean coal will lead us, will create millions of jobs. Us and PA on coal reserves. [We want coal] You've got coal, that's right. And you've got independence, and you've got judgment - We learned over last two weeks Senator Obama's plans because Joe asked him. When Senator Obama says he wants to spread the wealth around. Joe didn't ask for Obama to come to his house, to become famous, for political attacks form Obama campaign. Joe dream American dream. Attack on him is attack on small businesses. We need to support small businesses, not tax them. After months of campaign eloquence, we find out the real. Obama said the tragedy of civil rights movement, it didn't bring back redistributive change. Favors higher taxes on investment for fairness. [impassioned] Nothing fair about driving economy into the ground. More interested in controlling wealth than creating it. I'm going to create wealth for all Americans, by creating opportunity.. Sen Obama redistributionist in chief, I run for commander in chief. Obama spread the wealth, I create the wealth. Senator Obama punish the successful, I want to make people successful. - Senator Obama has made a lot of promises. First he said people making less than 250,000 dollars would benefit from his plan, then this weekend he announced in an ad that if you're a family making less than 200,000 dollars you'll benefit -- but yesterday, right here in Pennsylvania, Senator Biden said tax relief should only go to "middle class people -- people making under 150,000 dollars a year." It's interesting how their definition of rich has a way of creeping down. At this rate, it won't be long before Senator Obama is right back to his vote that Americans making just 42,000 dollars a year should get a tax increase. We can't let that happen. - We can't let democrats take control of Washington. We need pro-growth, not pro-spending. Fundamental difference, both disagree with Pres Bush, difference he thinks taxes too low, I think too high. Next pres won't have time to get used to the office. - I will bring troops home with victory and honor, not defeat. Ever heard victory pass Obama's lips? My friends, we're winning in Iraq. We'll win in Afghanistan. S - Senator Biden warned, Senator Obama with an intl. crisis. I've been tested, Senator Obama hasn't. Senator Biden said Jack Kennedy tested during Cuban missile crisis. I was on USS enterprise, I know, I don't need to be tested. Already know Obama won't have right response, wrong response the entire campaign. Sit down unconditionally with bad leaders. - We will win in Afghanistan, our troops will come home. They will be proud, you will be proud. Pundits wrote us off, as they have before. Obama mapping out details with Pelosi and Reid to raise your taxes, measuring his drapes, planning his address. No one will delay World Series with a statement when I'm president. Guess I'm old fashioned about these things, I 'll let voters decide outcome. Someone who will fight to the end. Others way to love this country, I don't back down when the stakes are high. My friends, I know you're worried. Moment of national crisis that will decide our future. Will we lead economy, will our military stay strong, will our children''s future be brighter than ours. Yes we'lll be safer, yes we'll be stronger. I choose to fight. Fight for new direction, what's right for America, get economy out of ditch, fight for ideals of people. Fight for justice. Stand up and fight, America is worth for fighting for. Nothing is inevitable. Let's win this election and get this country moving again.
