    "That some should be rich, shows that others may become rich, and, hence, is just encouragement to industry and enterprise."

    -- President Abraham Lincoln - 1864

    "The supply-side claim is not a claim. It is empirically true and historically convincing that with lower rates of taxation on labor and capital, the factors of production, you'll get a bigger economy."

    -- U.S. Rep. Jack Kemp

Palin Coming Back To VA For 3-(Day? / City?) Barnstorming Campaign

Posted on October 22, 2008 by Riley

Word just in that Gov. Sarah Palin will be returning to VA next week on a 3-day campaign swing barnstorming throughout the state.  Rumor is that she’ll be in Roanoke (possibly Salem Civic Center) on Mon., Oct. 27 and Stafford County/Fredericksburg City (possibly Maury Stadium / Airport / Fairgrounds) on Tue., Oct. 28.

Keep your eyes peeled for more info and keep checking Virginia.JohnMcCain.com.

UPDATE: Here is what AP is saying:

Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin returns to Virginia on a three-city barnstorming tour Monday.

According to the McCain-Palin campaign, her third trip to Virginia, Palin plans to start her day with an event in Leesburg at J.R.’s Festival Lakes.

Her second scheduled stop is in Fredericksburg at Hurkamp Park.

She plans to finish her Virginia swing with a stop in Salem at the Salem Civic Center.

Update on Fredericksburg Event:

Monday 10/27   @ 1 PM
Hurkamp Park

I’m assuming, just like all of the other events this year tickets will be available for pick up at all local campaign offices.
Fredericksburg Regional Office
150 Riverside Parkway
Fredericksburg, VA

    I’m glad she can squeeze in time to do some campaigning between her shopping sprees and depositions. By the way, I wonder if anyone has told “Joe the Unlicensed, Undecided Plumber” that his $100 donation to the republicans was used to help fund Sarah’s wardrobe. That’s looking out for the working guy!
