By Mike • Oct 31st, 2008 • Category: Blog Entries.Local, Politics

Gov. Palin’s campaign stopped in FredVegas last week. I was going to post sooner but I wanted to simmer down over a lot of the lame rhetoric floating around the crowd. Let me be clear that this came from all sides - both supporters and opposition plus a few folks who felt compelled to tell [...]
