John " Just Remember Sarah, If We Win I'm President" McCain Shouted Down At First Campaign Stop Without Palin

John McCain crashed and burned at his first appearance with his VP pick Sarah Palin. Hopefully the mainstream media will spend as much time on this campaigning disaster as they did yesterday covering pigs and lipstick. This actually not a surprise considering that John McCain has made clear that he doesn't have the brains or the imagination to discuss any of the serious issues pressing in America at this time.

Clearly Democrats are not the only ones that fall in love with their candidates, because it's very obvious that the Republicans are head over heels for Sarah Palin, but completely disinterested in John McCain. And everyone needs to remember who is actually running for the position of President. It will be very interesting to see how many more campaign appearances McCain will make without his hype-woman cheerleader Sarah Palin by his side to repeat the same tired script of half-truths and lies that her male handlers wrote for her.
