Palin makes pitch in Lancaster
GOP vice-presidential nominee rallies supporters here before trip to New York and ‘Saturday Night Live'
http://articles.lancasteronline.com/local/4/228933Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin made her pitch for a ninth-inning comeback in Pennsylvania at Clipper Magazine Stadium Saturday morning.
Palin hit Democratic rival Barack Obama hard on tax policy, drawing enthusiastic support and boos for her rival from the estimated crowd of more than 10,000.
"It's the choice between a politician who puts his faith in government and a leader who puts his faith in you," she said.
"Our opponent wants to raise taxes," she said to a chorus of boos from the crowd.
Recent polls put John McCain considerably behind Obama in the state. According to an average tallied by Pollster.com, McCain trails Obama by more than 10 percentage points in Pennsylvania.
More than 10,000 tickets were given out for the rally, which marked Palin's second visit to Lancaster, said Dave Dumeyer, chairman of the county GOP.
