I live quite close to the Boca Raton Resort and have just come home from the general direction of the Palin event being held sometime this evening.
The main thoroughfare in east Boca Raton is US1 known as Federal Highway, at the intersection of Camino Real and Federal is where the Palin protesters and gawkers are setting up in hopes of her driving by.
This area has little room on the sidewalks and the traffic is busy but it is now crowded with people.
About 2/3rd's of them have signs supporting Obama-Biden or razzing McCain-Palin in one form or the other. They are all over the entire area.
I tried to get a photo but my phone camera was not up to the challenge of delivering a quality product.
Only on the Northeast corner of the intersection are the few Republican supporters with their signs.
The crowd numbers about 100 or so at the moment.
I believe they all will be dissappointed.
For those of you going, you might want to stand at the rear entrance of the Boca Raton Resort on Mizner Boulevard. Why after the break;
I do not know whether this is normal operating procedure for VIP entry into the Boca Raton a Resort and Club but, tonight, the police have blocked off the streets in a manner that leads me to believe those waiting on Sarah Palin will wait in vain.
There is nothing to stop a any group of people from congregating along Mizner boulevard at the employees and deliveries entrance. There is at least as much room there as where the crowd has congregated.
I do not know if I am correct but it looks to me like her pathway from the local Airport has her coming into the Hotel in that manner and avoiding the grand entranceway on Camino Real.
I know this hardly qualifies as a real diary but this is happening now.
