In every video I've seen of PALIN/McCAIN campaigning, he stands there on the stage with her
the entire time she's giving her speech. WHY? What's with that?

It annoys the hell out of me.

1. Mutual parasites.
She is nothing without him.

He is nothing without her.

3. He always stares at her ass....
and tugs on his wedding ring.

What else is new?

4. Me too. McSame stands there basking in the written by somebody else words
that make him sound like the second coming. He always has a shit eating look on his face like look how important I am. Either he's going to slap his hand over her mouth if she goes off script, or he's just weird.

5. I saw a clip the other day......
...and it showed both of them entering the stage. She paused to wave and shake hands with various people and he just passively stood by waiting for her.

And it looked to me like he was more of a stage hand than a running mate! I was just surprised that he seemed so passive and he's supposed to be the top of the ticket!

6. Remember Stuck on You with Matt Damon and Greg Kinnear? That's what he reminds me of. nt

8. He's basking in her glory
He's living vicariously through her. He could never get half as much enthusiasm by himself. That is probably one reason why he doesn't want to go out on the stump without her. If they split up, she will draw much larger crowds than him, which would be pretty embarrassing.

20. You are so right about that!! Absolutely. How embarrassing would that be - she fills up a
gym and he can't fill the coat closet?

11. Your right.
It would look awfully funny if your VP was getting attention and the pres. candidate couldn't fill a phone booth.

13. Yeah, and he keeps twisting and fingering his wedding ring.....
McLiar is so creepy and repugnant looking. How can ANYONE want to see THAT for 4 more years---not to mention both he and Moose-killer are going to finish what Bush started, and run this country completely into the ground. Even worse, they most likely will start WW III.

Please wake up, America. I really believe we have this one last chance to get it right.

21. It's a code. Every time he does a full twist of the ring, it means Palin has to say
"I told 'em, 'Thanks, but no thanks..." again.

14. McCain always situates himself so that he has a good view of her
ass.

16. It's apparently the only way he can get people to look at him.
It'll be interesting to see what happens if people continue to treat her like the presidential candidate.

C ya,

The Plaid Adder

19. Because she's too vapid to work without a net.
She makes him more popular by association, but at the same time, they can't afford to let her roam around unsupervised.

22. 'HE'? Which 'he'? The 'dark' character' to her right...or the 'old fishy 'character
to her left HE?

Daddy Palin ain't doing his stay-at-home daddy duties, he's whats-her-name's shadow.
