As many of you know, I photographed Senator Barack Obama and Senator Hillary Clinton at campaign rallies earlier this year. I’ve been rather anxious to round out my political photojournalism portfolio with some familiar faces from the Republican party. So earlier today I headed up to Lancaster, PA (about 1.5 hrs away from me, here in Newark, DE) to photograph Presidential hopeful Senator John McCain and his running mate, Governor Sarah Palin, at a rally at F&M College.
I thought I would share some images with you so here goes….
Governor Sarah Palin started off the rally. The crowd of supporters
welcomed her with great applause and standing ovation.
Above a roar of applause and “USA” chants, Governor Palin introduced Senator John McCain.
Senator McCain told the audience that he couldn’t wait to
introduce Sarah Palin to Washington, DC.
An estimated 6500-7000 people showed up for the event, too many for the venue to hold. Some supporters were made to wait outside in an overflow area, where McCain and Palin made an appearance after the rally.
Governor Palin’s husband, Todd Palin, showed up for the rally as well, applauding both his wife’s and Senator McCain’s speeches.
Senator McCain customarily shook hands with supporters before leaving the rally.

No matter who becomes president, I’ve now had to chance to photograph them. What an exciting feeling!
