Not trying to pick a nit, but Verizon Wireless is in Noblesville.
Indianapolis - Gov. Sarah Palin's campaign event at the Verizon Wireless Music Center Friday is sold out, according to Sen. John McCain's campaign. The Alaskan governor is scheduled to speak at 4:30 pm. You can watch a live stream of her remarks on WTHR.com.
According to the McCain campaign, Gov. Mitch Daniels will not attend the Palin rally due to a scheduling conflict. Lt.Gov. Becky Skillman will introduce Gov. Palin.
Meantime, Sarah Palin makes her first visit to Maine on Thursday. The McCain campaign believes she will connect with voters in a region where hunting, fishing and snowmobiling are popular.
McCain can win one electoral vote if he takes Maine's 2nd Congressional District, the biggest district in geographic terms east of the Mississippi, a patchwork of forests and lakes that are blanketed by snow for much of the year.
Focusing on a single district could make sense in Maine, one of only two states - the other is Nebraska - that allow electoral votes to be split. It means that even a statewide loser could grab one of Maine's four electoral votes.
McCain television ads are in heavy rotation in Bangor and Presque Isle, although the Republican National Committee has decided to stop running presidential ads in Maine to focus on usually Republican states where McCain shows signs of faltering.
Palin was to make her first visit to the state with a rally Thursday at the Bangor International Airport. Palin's husband, Todd, a snowmobile racer in Alaska, visited the state over the weekend.
Sen. Barack Obama is launching TV ads in West Virginia, which George W. Bush won four years ago and hadn't been on the list of target states until recently, according to two Democrats with knowledge of the strategy. They say Obama's campaign also is considering pouring money into reliably Republican Kentucky and may yet return to the airwaves in North Dakota and Georgia. Those are two states Obama had tried to put in play over the summer, but he pulled out when they appeared out of reach.

So I found out about 11:00 last night that a girl I know (Chairwoman of the IU College Republicans) was giving out the VIP Gold tickets (sit behind Palin) and had some extras that went unused...
Wish I was able to have went.
I think you ment to say: I wish I was able to have gone or attended.
