He's a decent, family man, a citizen that I just happen to have disagreements with him on fundamental issues and that's what this campaign is all about."Reflector: McCain Booed...

After the rally, reporters asked Gayle Quinnell about her feelings on Obama. She stated that she went to the library and looked up Obama, then she made fliers stating her beliefs to over 400 people. She believes Obama is "Bad news" and is worried about what will happen to the country if Obama is elected. In reference to Obama's religion after being told that Obama's father is Muslim, but Obama is a Christian, Quinnell said "He’s still got Muslim in him. So that’s still part of him. I got all the stuff from the library and I could send you all kinds of stuff on him."The Uptake: Gayle Quinnell Interview
