Somehow I doubt if there will be too many postings to this topic, but if others were watching the Palin acceptance speech CSPAN (I watched it on NBC for the Hi-Def, but switched to CSPAN afterwards to save inundation from the talking heads), there is a McCain "C&W" (boy, doesn't C&W sound just like "rock' nowadays?) campaign song that was performed after the speech was completed in which there was a line of lyrics to the effect of 'get on the train'.

Otherwise, I'd expect 'train' to be mentioned about the same number of times that there were RNC delegates using the Empire Builder for transport to the soiree.

Unless a miracle occurs in the remaining "61 and a wake up', here is the most suitable McCain campaign song out there;

I didn't see this thread until just now.......but I also watched the convention speeches (Dem and Repub) on NBC in order to get the Hi-Def picture. Once the speeches were over, I changed back to my non-HD favorite cable news channel.

It was kinda cool watching the DNC coverage on NBC with the choo-choo's in the background at the Denver Amtrak station.
