She recently stopped by a Philidelphia Flyers game to "drop the puck" in a game-opening ceremony.
It sesms that Palin was anticipating a less than stellar reception and opted to bring along her daughter as a "shield". The write-up on Fox gave a less-than-honest portrayal of the festivities:
The GOP Vice-Presidential nominee said at an earlier fundraiser that she would stop some of the booing from the rowdy Philadelphia fans by putting her seven year old daughter, Piper in a Flyers jersey. She said, “How dare they boo Piper!”
Her secret weapon may have worked. The crowd in this staunchly Democratic city –visited today by Barack Obama—gave Palin mixed reviews. There were audible boos over the very loud music and some in the crowd had their thumbs down, but there were also many people clapping and cheering the GOP Vice-Presidential nominee.
