Sarah Palin lit up an overflow crowd at the Civic Auditorium’s Music Hall with a 24-minute mixture of attacks on Democrat Barack Obama and a pledge that she and John McCain can deliver lower taxes and energy independence.
The Alaska governor and No. 1 hockey mom also adopted the University of Nebraska at Omaha’s hockey team. "I love that cheer — Go Mavericks," said Palin, who insists she and McCain are the real Mavericks ready to bring change to the nation.
In her remarks, Palin warned that Obama and the Democrats have "a left wing agenda prettied up to look like Main Street politics."
The folksy vice presidential candidate even poked fun at herself that the spoof of her by Saturday Night Live’s Tina Fey.
But in the end, her task was to rally the Republican faithful behind McCain in Nebraska 2nd Congressional District that has become one of the most surprising battleground of this presidential campaign.
"There is only one man in this campaign who has ever really fought for you," she said to cheers. "That man is John McCain. Thank you, Nebraska."
After her speech, Palin was surrounded by well-wishers seeking her autograph. Accompanied by Nebraska Gov. Dave Heineman, she grabbed hands and signed autographs along her exit route from the Music Hall
