The Wall Street Journal’s Washington Wire<\/a> reports that the McCain campaign plans on keeping the ticket as a single unit through the election;<\/p>\n

The McCain campaign is so pleased with campaign events featuring John McCain and Sarah Palin that advisers plan to keep the running mates together more often through Election Day.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe question is: how often will they be apart?\u201d a senior adviser said when asked how often they will be together.<\/p>\n

Traditionally, presidential campaigns split the two candidates up so they can cover more territory as each candidate generates local news coverage in the cities he or she visits<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Why?<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s rally in Fairfax, Va., attracted 23,000 people, the campaign said, citing a fire marshal estimate. That\u2019s a new record. McCain\u2019s events before Palin joined the ticket were considered large at 2,300 people.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I like Palin’s husband. Watch him on stage while Sarah is stumping. He seems to get a real kick out<\/em> of his wife. He enjoys her success and power, you can just see it. It is genuine<\/em>. Spouses usually are wallpaper, but this guy digs it. He enjoys the crowd’s vibe off the wife. He seems to be thinking, “yeah she’s great, isn’t she?”<\/em> It’s a very cool (and real) thing.<\/p>\n

Another endearing thing about this power ticket is McCain. When Palin is speaking he stands back like a proud papa<\/em> and sort of beams.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

She left out Cindy – my dream girl (a blonde, millionaire beer distributor heiress)…the four of them make one hot ticket, though. I’d always said that the first Black and the first woman US Presidents would be Republicans because Republicans really are closer to the real people Americans want leading them, the real people that Americans themselves are.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
