Raw Story:
While Allegheny County Republican Party Chairman Jim Roddey presided over the $1,000-a-plate fundraiser at Pittsburgh's Westin Convention Center Hotel, demonstrators across the street waved signs, mostly in protest of Palin's appearance. Among signs waved as the McCain/Palin "Straight Talk Express" bus drove by were "I'm a 6-packer for Obama" and "Palin = Bush with lipstick."
McCain and Palin represent "extremism," said participant Janice Markowitz."That's the intelligence we're dealing with in this country," said McCain supporter Jeamour Matthews of her opponents. "They don't have no grace (sic), they have no manners, they don't obey the law...these people should be arrested. They're blocking the sidewalk."
"I'm going to tell her that we really have to concentrate on two things," Roddey said, adding that he felt the campaign remained "winnable." "John McCain and Sarah Palin, look at what they've accomplished. She's been a mayor; she's become a governor of a state. He's got a twenty year track record in the Senate, and a 26 year record in the navy. Great accomplishments and he's a man of character. We don't know that much about Obama."

Palin makes first stop in West Virginia a brief one
The Alaska governor and her family spent about 25 minutes in the state Sunday as their two-engine plane touched down at Tri-State Airport in Kenova. She made no remarks.
About a dozen supporters greeted Palin as she left the aircraft holding her infant son, Trig. Other members of her family were traveling with her.
A small group of protesters also was on hand as the Palins arrived.
After the brief stop, Palin and her political entourage boarded a bus and headed to the Ohio campaign rally accompanied by a motorcade.
