WAUKESHA - Waukesha resident Dick Seeling hasn’t been to a
presidential campaign rally since former President Ronald Reagan
came to the Waukesha County Expo Center while running for
re-election in 1984, but the opportunity to see Republican candidate
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and his running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah
Palin, was something he wanted to be a part of.
"There’s always a certain type of excitement at any kind
of rally and it’s a fun thing to be part of," he said.
"You get to see the candidates and hear them in person and get
a feel for how they handle themselves."
