Palin trots out Joe Namath imitation

BEAVER — Referencing Beaver Falls native Joe Namath’s famous guarantee of a Super Bowl win in 1969, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin told a crowd estimated at 6,000 to 7,000 people at Gypsy Glen Stadium Thursday that the GOP ticket will carry Pennsylvania in the November presidential election.

Palin, the Republican vice-presidential nominee, said political experts have written off Arizona Sen. John McCain's chances in Pennsylvania against Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois, much as the sports world expected the Baltimore Colts to crush Namath’s upstart New York Jets in Super Bowl III.

“We’re going to win this state. I guarantee it,” Palin told the crowd.

Here are some other comments Palin made during her visit to Beaver on Thursday:

At 7:16 p.m. Republican vice presidential nominee Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin takes the stage with her husband, Todd, and two of their daughters, Willow and Piper.

Questioning whether Obama is ready to face an international crisis, Palin said, “We don’t need smooth talk that glosses over that question. We need straight talk that answers it.”

“Our opponent is not being candid” on his tax plan, Palin said, adding that, “It’s not mean-spirited or negative campaigning” to “call out” his shortcomings.

Palin noticed a man in the crowd who held a sign that read “Bill the Mechanic.” Palin said the press and the Obama campaign have investigated and attacked the now-famous Joe the Plumber, who questioned Obama about his tax plans and became a running theme in the McCain campaign. “The press knows who you are,” she said to the man, “now you’d better duck.”

Palin touted her and McCain’s experience as reformers. “We have not just been talkin’ the talk, we have been walkin’ the walk.”

America must pursue alternative energy sources, but also should tap into domestic oil and coal reserves. “Drill, baby, drill, and mine, baby, mine,” Palin said.

Palin on the election: “It’s gonna be a close race and it’s comin’ down to the wire.”

Invoking the memory of former Republican President Ronald Reagan to much cheering, Palin said that she and McCain “believe in the forward movement of freedom” and that the “best of America” is found in places such as Beaver County. “We believe that America is not the problem. America is the solution,” she said.

Palin finished to rousing applause at 7:50 p.m., and then she and her husband start shaking hands and signing autographs.
