"At a boisterous Sarah Palin rally in Polk City, Florida on Saturday afternoon, one name was surprisingly absent from the campaign decor -- John McCain's.
Looking around the Fantasy of Flight aircraft hangar where the rally took place, there were all the usual reminders that it was a pro-McCain event. There were two large "Country First" banners hung on the walls along with four enormous American flags meant to conjure the campaign's underlying patriotic theme. Many of the men and women in the audience wore McCain hats and t-shirts.
But on closer inspection, the GOP nominee's name was literally nowhere to be found on any of the official campaign signage distributed to supporters at the event." -- http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/11/01/mccains-name-nowhere-to-be-seen-at-palin-rally/
Now, why would an event completely omit McCain's name? Perhaps this is the start of Palin's 2012 campaign instead of the tail end of McCain's 2008 campaign?

This is one of the lowest and stupidest I've heard yet!!!! Did you BOTHER to check out the link to their video of the event? The supporters are wearing shirts that say MCCAIN, and in the foreground you can see the top of a sign that clearly says McCain.
The caption under the video say Palin in Polk, FL -- just like the article that claimed there were no such signs.

"Did you BOTHER to check out the link to their video of the event?"
Did you "BOTHER" to read the entire quote, and not just the sentence in bold? 
Nice reading comprehension you've got there. From the above original post:
"Many of the men and women in the audience wore McCain hats and t-shirts."
The point is that none of the OFFICIAL stuff had McCain's name on it:
"the GOP nominee’s name was literally nowhere to be found on any of the official campaign signage distributed to supporters at the event."

I saw plenty of "Country First" signs and as that is John McCain's political message, I'd say he was there loud and clear.

I believe irishidid got it right. Hey, the only name I didn't see in the video was Palin.
Sure her name was on a license plate thing in the picture, but in the video of the actual speech and rally, there was only Country First, and McCain. And that is ALL they showed. If there was something else that would have supported their claim in the article they should have/would have PICTURED IT.
