Up early for Palin

Coachman Park in Clearwater is beginning to fill up early this morning in anticipation of Sarah Palin's speech. People began lining up outside the park as early as midnight.

One of the first in line was Blair Skinner, 18, of Largo. "I look up to her. She seems real cool," Skinner said.

Now that the sun is up, the park is rapidly filling with people decked out in red.
