Palin Guarantees Win At Beaver Rally

BEAVER (AP) ― Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin set aside Joe the Plumber for Joe the Quarterback - as in Joe Namath - at a rally near where Namath grew up, and told supporters that she and John McCain are still in the game and they're going to win.

"In the biggest game of his life, all the experts had Joe Namath and the Jets written off to defeat.  They were up against the elite team that had all the money and they were held in awe by the media.  And Broadway Joe replied, 'We're going to win the game, I guarantee it.' And they won," Palin said of Namath's guarantee before New York defeated the Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl III. 

"Pennsylvania, with your help, we're going to win this state, I guarantee," Palin told more than a thousand supporters who packed a chilly Beaver Area High School football stadium.

Palin stuck to the campaign speech she'd given earlier Thursday in Ohio, where she criticized Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's downplaying of running mate Joe Biden's remark that the new president would be tested with an international crisis early in his presidency.

She said McCain has the experience to confront such a crisis "or better yet, avoid it."

Palin also criticized Obama's tax plan, saying "now is not the time to experiment with socialism."

Palin is scheduled to appear at another event near Pittsburgh on Friday morning.
