David Holt from the Republican Convention » Roberta McCain http://blog.newsok.com/republicanconvention David Holt, special to NewsOK, reports from the Republican National Convention Sun, 07 Sep 2008 18:08:08 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 en hourly 1 Palin arrives http://blog.newsok.com/republicanconvention/2008/09/05/palin-arrives/ http://blog.newsok.com/republicanconvention/2008/09/05/palin-arrives/#comments Fri, 05 Sep 2008 06:54:43 +0000 David Holt http://blog.newsok.com/republicanconvention/2008/09/05/palin-arrives/ palins.JPGI took this picture of Sarah Palin and her husband sitting with John McCain’s mother (Roberta; born in Muskogee) shortly after the Palins arrived at the family/VIP box.  That entire part of the arena stood when she entered.

As an aside, Roberta McCain is something else.  I was interviewed by French TV tonight (you can’t go 10 feet without getting asked for an interview by the literally thousands of credentialed media here), and they asked me about John McCain’s age.  I was able to point at Roberta and say, “Unless John McCain plans to be president for 24 years, I think he’ll be fine.”
