Sen. John McCain and Gov. Sarah Palin were greeted by throngs of red-clad fans at the Virginia Beach convention center. Palin, who introduced McCain, received more cheers than any other speaker, even more than country music legend Hank Williams Jr.

In a 10-minute speech, she talked about energy independence, among other issues, touting offshore oil drilling and mining coal. When the crowd started chanting "Drill, baby, drill." She corrected them "It's mine, baby, mine too."

Supporters didn't seem to find that she mispronounced the word "Norfolk" and ackwardly used the term "the" Hampton Roads. "It's going to come right down to the wire here and it's pretty clear that the road to victory in 2008 is going to run right through the Hampton Roads," Palin said.

Williams, wearing a Washington Redskins jersey, sang several of his classics, including "All My Rowdy Friends Have Settled Down" and "A Country Boy Can Survive."
