Palin The Energizer Bunny of 2008 Campaign

Of the 4 Candidates on the major tickets, Sarah Palin has kept the most impressive schedule. McCain, Obama and Biden take long break between appearances and afford themselves down time. Sarah Palin doesn't seem to know what down time is.

And she has become a regular in a handful of battleground states. You know the ones.

For all of the talk of the new battleground states in this election, Sarah Palin is devoting the majority of her time in the closing days to stumping in three long-established swing states.

On Friday, the Republican VP nominee took a bus tour across the central swath of Pennsylvania, and on Sunday, she’ll head back to Ohio for a series of rallies there.

Today is all about Florida, a state where Palin has spent less time than some of the other big battlegrounds, but one in which the Republicans must hold on to in order to win the election. Palin’s bus tour brings her to the familiar I-4 corridor across the central part of the state, which is about evenly split between Republicans and Democrats.

The Alaska governor begins her day start near the Gulf Coast with a rally in New Port Richey, then she’ll head east to Polk City and finally north to Ocala.

With only three days until Nov. 4, Palin is on a nearly round-the-clock campaign schedule. After the Florida events, she’ll hold rallies in Raleigh, North Carolina and suburban Richmond, Virginia.

Her rallies have been the biggest draw of the four candidates. Many times Obama and Palin have appeared at the same venue within days of each other. In each case, Palin has drawn a bigger crowd.

With the polls tightening in the last few days, the Republicans are using Palin to get out the core Republican voters who love her.
