John McCain, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Hank Williams Jr. in Columbus

Senator John McCain, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Hank Williams, Jr. came to Columbus today to rally the troops in the last few days of this campaign for victory in the Buckeye State. Needless to say, the lines outside Nationwide Arena were long, stretching all the way down Nationwide Blvd.

A reminder of why we were all there:


Buckeyes for McCain!

House Minority Leader John Boehner spoke to the crowd:

As did Ohio 15th Congressional District GOP candidate Steve Stivers:

Hank Williams Jr. warmed up the crowd for about 20 minutes, including his new hit, "McCain/Palin Tradition":


The Straight Talk Express arrived, and Gov. Schwarzenegger gave a rip-roaring speech (note the "Joe the News Photographer" down beside the stage).

Um, did I mention the McCain ladies are HOT!? Not that Lindsey would notice, of course.



Here's the YouTube of Schwarzenegger's speech:



Then came the main event:





What a pleasure it was to be at McCain's final Ohio campaign stop before Tuesday's elections. Work to help get out the vote this weekend, and take somebody to the polls on Tuesday!

Go McCain-Palin!!
