And how Palin do in LA and OC?


The first one came with the woman who introduced Palin, lifelong Democrat and president of the Los Angeles chapter of the National Organization For Women, Shelly Mandell. While NOW has endorsed Democrat Barack Obama as best representing women's interests in the race, Mandell has taken a different view.

"This is what a feminist looks like," Mandell told the crowd. "Like Gov. Sarah Palin."

Palin picked up from there, saying, "We're going to shatter the highest glass ceiling in America."

Palin then turned the "quote of the day" printed on a recent cup of coffee she got from Starbucks. It came from another Democrat, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright.

"'There's a place in hell reserved for women who don't support other women,'" Palin recited to the cheering crowd at the Home Depot Center's tennis stadium.


The 13,000 seats were full, with a couple thousand more packed onto the court itself and standing around the perimeter.

Tickets were awarded free on a first-come, first-served basis in advance of the event, with several thousand going to those who promised to make 100 phone calls on behalf of the John McCain-Sarah Palin campaign.

The rally was originally penciled in for Orange County, to follow a fundraiser at Segerstrom Hall in Costa Mesa. Dates were changed and the rally moved, although the fundraiser was still held Saturday evening at the Costa Mesa venue. Minimum ticket price for the event is $1,000.
