Huck-Chuck Rally in Des Moines

I’m up in Iowa, helping out at campaign HQ this week, and attended the huge Huck-Chuck Rally in Des Moines last night at the Val-Air Ballroom. I haven’t had time to compress the video from the event — I’ve got several clips of Gov. Huckabee playing with the local band, as well as Joe Scarborough of MSNBC — Morning with Joe host.

TheHill has a story on the rally.

Here’s a few pics from last night:

Mike, Chuck and Gina Norris, and Joe Scarborough at the end of Twist ‘n’ Shout (blurry, but it’s the best I got!)

Hopefully, I’ll find time over the next couple of days to get the video done. I’ll put it up here, when it’s ready.

Quotes

"Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God." --Psalm 20:7

"$1 or $2300. In the end, we all get 1 vote. It all counts." --from Huckabee campaign website.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities --Teddy Roosevelt

"Considering the polarized atmosphere of national politics, voters may be ready for an experienced chief executive who wants to narrow the partisan gap and take on the country's challenges with a can-do attitude." --Conford Monitor editorial, 12/03/07

A writer observed: “We grow good people in our small towns, with honesty, sincerity, and dignity.” I know just the kind of people that writer had in mind when he praised Harry Truman. --Gov. Sarah Palin

I grew up with those people. They are the ones who do some of the hardest work in America … who grow our food, run our factories, and fight our wars. They love their country, in good times and bad, and they’re always proud of America. I had the privilege of living most of my life in a small town. --Gov. Sarah Palin

I’m not a member of the permanent political establishment. And I’ve learned quickly, these past few days, that if you’re not a member in good standing of the Washington elite, then some in the media consider a candidate unqualified for that reason alone. But here’s a little news flash for all those reporters and commentators: I’m not going to Washington to seek their good opinion — I’m going to Washington to serve the people of this country. Americans expect us to go to Washington for the right reasons, and not just to mingle with the right people. --Gov. Sarah Palin
