Looking out over a crowd of several thousand who packed a three-way intersection lined with quaint, early-American style shops, McCain said the "turnout in Cedarburg is what this campaign is all about."
"We're going to go across the small towns of America and we're going to give them hope, we're going to give them confidence, and we will bring about change in Washington, D.C.," McCain said to cheers.
This was McCain and Palin's his first appearance since he accepted the Republican nomination last night at the party's national convention in St. Paul, Minn.
Following their morning visit, McCain and Palin's stopped in Sterling Heights, Mich., where McCain said he and Palin would "shake up Washington."
