MUCRs at McCain/Palin in Cedarburg

Friday, about 16 Marquette College Republicans were lucky enough to be able to volunteer and view the McCain/Palin event in Cedarburg.

I’ve heard many inconsistent reports about the amount of people that attended the event. The numbers I have heard are anywhere between 12 and 40 thousand.

The event was a whole lot of fun. Here are a few videos of the event, one from CNN and one from Local TMJ4 NBC news. There are a bunch of amateur ones available on youtube as well. As for photos, most students haven’t been able to upload theirs yet, however if you check various image sources you’ll be able to see some awesome pictures of CRs at the event, but I’ll make sure I get some of those up here soon.

My view of the event was different than most. I, along with other MUCRs got to sit in the Ice Cream shop that John and Cindy McCain and Sarah Palin stopped into after the event. Though the view and experience was amazing, I heard the speech with a 15 second delay on the radio. This was pretty funny because of the offset. Being able to shake hands with both the Republican President and VP candidates was unbelieveable as well. Both of them ordered ice cream. Palin ordered moose tracks in a waffle cone, while McCain ordered sherbet in a dish (which even made me laugh a bit).

Overall I don’t think I really could have had a better experience. McCain and Palin are both awesome and the energy they brought to the area was phenomenal. Since Palin’s speech at the GOP convention I have spent a large portion of my time at the Washington County Victory Center telling people that we won’t have any McCain Palin signs (and now we’ve ran out of all McCain memorabilia) for another week at least.
