BETHLEHEM, LEHIGH COUNTY- Thousands of people filled Lehigh University Wednesday afternoon as the Republican presidential ticket made its way to town.

John McCain and Sarah Palin held a rally in front of more than 6,000 people. Governor Palin took on the role as attack dog. She took Barack Obama to task on off shore oil drilling and questioned Obama's credibility.

Palin said, “For a campaign that talks a lot about the future, our opponents talk a lot about the past and point fingers, looking back to place blame, but we're joining you in looking towards the future, because that's where we find solutions."
