Is John McCain a Man? (Part IV)

By Baxter

Nope. Still hiding behind the "hockey mom's" skirts.

We cats were wondering why Senator McCain was wasting his time in Iowa today. Not only is he behind Senator Obama there by double digits, but he and the alleged hockey mom were campaigning together. It made no sense to us cats, deeply familiar as we are with campaign logistics. By appearing separately, running mates can appeal to different constituencies and hit more media markets.

And then we saw this story from The New York Times about the recent McCain trip to Ohio:

"After Governor Palin... riveted the overflow crowd at an airplane hangar here for 16 minutes, it was Mr. McCain’s turn, and people in his audience began murmuring and drifting away midway through a 14-minute speech that was flat and cheerless. When Mr. McCain made his first appearance without Ms. Palin, on Monday morning in Jacksonville, Fla., he faced an arena that was one-quarter full."

We cats can't think of anything to add to that sad little report. So we'll just curl up and take another nap.
