Both the Sacramento Bee and the UK Telegraph go to a McCain-Palin rally with over 3,000 people and both manage to interview the same exact woman who’s disenchanted with Palin. Coincidence, I’m sure.
Trish Castiglione, a Republican, was sold on McCain-Palin before Wednesday’s event. Now she’s not so sure — particularly after hearing Palin answer questions from the public for the first time since becoming McCain’s running mate…
“The only thing she knows about is oil. She was kind of wishy-washy,” said Trish Castiglione, a 38-year-old foundation officer at Grand Rapids Community College, which held the event. “I came in knowing I would vote for them — I don’t know now.”…
“I came in thinking I would vote for them, but I don’t know now,” said Trish Castiglione, who works at the college in Grand Rapids where the event was held…
Her husband Joe, an undecided voter, sat listening carefully to both speakers. He said: “I liked McCain, he knows his stuff, but she needs to work on her delivery. There were not a lot of facts. The only thing she knows about is oil. Other than that she was wishy-washy. “
Mrs. Republican, incidentally, is Director of Annual Giving for the Rapids Community College Foundation, which just happens to sponsor events like Rock the Vote, a group known for its liberal Democratic viewpoints and whose political director is currently working on Obama’s campaign.
Amazing how two completely different media sources just happened to find the same exact woman, who works for a group that sponsors liberal events, to quote at a rally of thousands.
