After a bump in the road on Monday with mother nature stalling the Republican National Convention, local supporters say it ended with a bang after both Palin and McCain’s speeches.
St. Joe County Republicans got together Thursday night at the local headquarters to continue talking about Palin’s speech a day later. They say the “co-pilot’s” speech fired them up and really emphasized what Republicans stand for.
Caitlin Sullivan says, “ I think she did an excellent job highlighting her roles when she was mayor and now the Governor of Alaska and how she turned around Alaska’s economy. I think she really did steal the show.”
Jack Flock says, “I really like the fact she stood up and said she was proud to be from small town America. The key for Republicans tonight is to see how our “pilot” does.”
After watching McCain speak, Flock said “I think it’s two key things. One is on the economy. We’ve got a choice this year. It’s going to be about more government or more Washington. Solving some problems or whether people get to solve those problems. And it’s a reminder of with history - we’re one week away from the seven-year anniversary of 9/11 and it’s still a scary world out there and we want someone in charge who’s got experience to handle that war on terror.
