Stacy McCain of The Other McCain fame has a great post up on Sarah Palin's impact at the Searchlight rally, amongst other observations-
Doug from Reno was standing about 50 yards from the stage at Saturday's "Showdown in Searchlight," two hours before the official noon start of the rally featuring Sarah Palin. He was part of a huge crowd already gathering for the big first-day event of the Tea Party Express tour, and U.S. Highway 95 was backed up for more than a mile in either direction as thousands more made their way into the dusty lot a couple miles north of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's hometown.
He was wearing a National Rifle Association cap and mirrored sunglasses, and had a sticker on his shirt promoting a conservative website, DumpReid.com. Doug held aloft a large hand-lettered sign: "Karl Marx and Mao Were Not Founding Fathers!"
