"John McCain has now put his entire campaign on Sarah Palin's shoulders"

[Bluebear]

Chuck Todd: "John McCain has now put his entire campaign on Sarah Palin's shoulders... He doesn't get crowds without her. She was already supposed to be in Alaska getting ready to send her son off to war, getting sort of her house in order to start campaigning solo. Now there's a lot of question: Does McCain even bother campaigning solo, or are they campaigning in a tandem because they can get the real crowds... McCain-Palin events look like Obama events a month ago."

1. And these crowds are going to start to dry up. It's taking Rove

a long time with her second speech. People are starting to notice the first one is losing steam just a bit.

2. He is NOTHING without Mooselini. And he knows it. Talk about pathetic!

12. Yup, yup! Moosolini totally upstages Twitler.

And he just stands to the side thinking about how he'd like to invade her Sudetenland.

3. Fine by me.

We get two separate candidates, campaigning in separate media markets on a day-by-day basis. We get to cover more territory that way.. very helpful.

4. Kind of pathetic watching him just standing there, fiddling

with his wedding band and glancing around the crowd with a look of yearning on his face.. (looking for a smile aimed at HIM instead of HER?)

8. It is pathetic. Also creepy. n/t

9. Gawd, I was STUNNED to see him still working his ring finger yesterday like

a tiny stand-in penis!

SURELY his handlers have told him to KNOCK IT OFF--- but I guess 'Little Johnny' is in charge as usual!

13. 'a tiny stand-in penis!'

5. Aren't there any other "inexperienced celebrities, who give good speeches" out there to help him?

[theothersnippywshrub]

7. He has become her Mini-Me. n/t

10. John who?

They've really painted themselves into a corner here, haven't they? The minute he give a speech to a room of churping crickets (and some Code Pink folks) the media's gonna be all over it. What to do . . . Look over there, the Iraq Endgame!

11. I'm glad they are inseparable...

she'll have even less time to memorize her answers for the "debate".
