It must be really tough for the formerly dashing fighter pilot and skirt-chaser to see the Republicans who nominated him flocking to see his unknown, younger female running mate. He is almost pathetic with his grimacing smile and worn out stump speech. There he is! Bear-hugging her at every photo-op while deep down inside, he's seething. In all fairness, maybe because W, (his former huggy-friend) isn't allowed at the rally!
The fact that the only energy that has been introduced into his campaign has to come from the 'Palin gimmick' should concern the Right. But of course we know that's nonsense. It doesn't matter a damn to them. It's the 'country be damned, anything to win' mentality. That is why all the base excitement about a female 'W' who is the "15 minutes of fame media's" new darling.
I heard Tweety last night talking about the 'couple' thing and how voters are considering them a political couple. Even having the audacity to compare them to the Clinton's. I really had to laugh out loud at that. To me it looks like a doting Granddad or grumpy old uncle with his favorite niece. I have never seen a worse visual fit in my life.
More importantly is the idealogical fit. The former McCain, the one of years ago who had some principles has been replaced. What we behold now is a shell of the man. A new McCain whose honor and principles have disappeared. Who has had let his soul be sucked out by the right wing Rove henchman running his grotesque campaign.
Is it no wonder that he is dragging her everywhere because he can't stand on his own? He knows it, and so do his handlers!! He had better hope his 'phenom' has more than her 15 minutes because their clock is counting down to a reality check that is not going to be pretty.
