Yeah, it's kind of a sexist meme. However, McCain is really, really giving us a gift by taking a back seat to his VP. Could you imagine just for a second if Obama had tapped Hillary for VP and she became the draw and he became the wallpaper. The right wing smearocracy would be having a field day with it and likely getting some play with men on the issue.

Honestly, considering he can't even pick his own VP, John McCain is impotent. Who really wants an impotent President?

1. If a democrat did this that would be the media narrative.
But when McCain does it it's considered "risky" and "daring."

2. Hiding behind anyone doesn't signify strength
McCain has tried to create an image of a strong person, but acts nothing like it.

3. Ding ding ding ding ding
Why isn't this played up more in the MSM?
I was thinking the same thing.

He's coming off as a sickly old man who's relying on his home health aid (nurse?) sticking up for him.

5. He's really a very small man, in all fairness. More of a lap dog, really.
