HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Governor Sarah Palin arrived at Tri-State airport Sunday just before noon. She got off the plane and shook some hands before boarding a bus headed to Gallipolis.

When the republican candidate for vice president got to Gallipolis, she stopped at a Wal-Mart. Governor Palin got off the bus and talked with shoppers. She even bought diapers for her infant son who made the visit with her.

Sarah Palin told voters in southeastern Sunday that she and running mate, John McCain, would bring jobs back to this economically depressed part of Appalachia.

Palin highlighted her record as mayor of a city about the size of this small one near the West Virginia border. She says Democratic rival Barack Obama doesn't understand places like this.

We all need to look at their record and Obama's record speaks differently than his retoric. Like McCain said the other night he's not Bush and we shouldn't compare him to Bush. If you read his record it shows all the times he opposed Bush. I think Obama is a smooth talker with a forked tongue and if he gets in office we are doenhill from that point on.
