Someone had the bright idea of sending Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to the Irish Pub on Walnut Street in downtown Philly before the debate yesterday.
More than 400 McCain-Palin supporters were in the bar waiting for her; more than 300 McCain-Palin opponents were outside the bar, heckling her on as Philadelphians know how to do.
Sporting a red Phillies jacket, over a white t-shirt that read "Sarahcuda," Palin entered the bar to the protestors chanting "Obama! Obama!"
Some set off flares.
They held up signs: "McSame/Failin';" "Hey Hockey Mom -- keep the puck out of PA;" "Just like Bush in lipstick."

Inside the pub, the reception was very warm, with supporters swarming her, asking for autographs and pictures.
"Thanks for inviting us into The Irish Pub," Palin told the assembled throngs, "and we know this is going to be a great night for our ticket. Thank you for being here for rooting on John McCain tonight in the debate even, you guys, thank you. Yeah.
"Great to be here in the city of brotherly and sisterly love," she continued.

"Thank you and we feel that. And truly all the support that you're providing us in this area that is so paramount to victory on November 4th. We thank you so much for all your support. Hope we all get around to meet each and every one of you so I can personally thank you guys for the support that you're showing and for being so reform-minded and knowing that we have opportunity to put government back on the side of the people and shake things up in DC.

Don't mess with people from Philly or Chicago because they will really let you know what they think. Both cities don't fall for the bull or showtime. Sarah should just leave those cities alone and move on to those who might more mild with their words of dislike.
