Palin’s Crowd Doesn’t Have Time for McCain
Radio Iowa has a great play-by-play of a McCain-Palin rally in Cedar Rapids. With the "Top Gun" soundtrack heralding the arrival of the ticket (seriously), the crowd was pumped -- for Sarah Palin. A casual poll before the rally suggested that Palin was the event's star, and that sentiment was backed up when the audience started filing out five minutes into McCain's speech.

[…] I look up, about five minutes into McCain’s address and see a steady stream of people walking out of the rally. They just came to see Palin apparently.
