Associated Press--Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, seen with Ed Snider (right), chairman of Comcast-Spectacor, visited the Irish Pub, on 20th and Walnut streets, last night before the start of the presidential debate.
Palin grabs a seat at the bar
But her amorous fans were definitely ready to let the moose-hunting Alaska governor rule.
“I expect her to be president of the United States one day,” said Suzanne Haney, the Republican leader for the 2nd Ward in South Philadelphia, who gave Palin a $2 bill for luck.
Palin appeared at the bar on 20th and Walnut streets last night to shake hands with her fans for about an hour before the first presidential debate. While the crowd inside was friendly, hundreds of people lined the street outside in protest with signs that read things like “Palin is Santorum With Lipstick.”
Palin did not take questions from reporters nor did she talk policy. She posed for pictures and chatted with supporters, many of whom were from outside the city limits, and made an approximately minute-long statement.

This is the media coverage for this event that has been on CNN. This is what truly captures Palin’s visit to Philadelphia.
Thanks Kenneth and I will add that video to this post!
The three words all Obama supporters love to here…PUCK YOU PALIN!!!
check out PUCKYOUPALIN.COM, it was created for and dedicated to all those individuals (including hockey moms)who are insulted, disappointed and just fed up with Sarah Palin.
[...] While Obama and McCain Debated, Sarah was Hanging at a Bar Link. [...]
She was letting PA know that she is an average person. Which she is. She doesn’t mind being with people. She
likes them. Hell, she’s just like you
The US will fall apart under dictator Obummer Obama. Get out your old Y2K books, prepare, vote & hope McCain/Palin wins, but get ready for an Obama roller-coaster ride from hel1 for the rest of your 3rd world American life. For the record, Palin is an educated Journalist and a governor of the largest state with the most energy resources in her mid-forties who actually makes daily decisions unlike the ‘present’ voting, coffee sipping Senator ‘we know little about’ Obama (and what we know is scary).
