It’s Official: John McCain Has Been Reduced To Sarah’s Sidekick

How incredibly humiliating.

Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska may have hijacked Senator John McCain’s presidential campaign, but Mr. McCain is acting more and more like the happy captive. And why not? Probably the biggest crowd of his 2008 campaign turned out this morning at Van Dyke Park in northern Virginia, chanting “Sarah, Sarah, Sarah!’’

The Fairfax City fire marshal this afternoon estimated the crowd at 15,000, their numbers clearly evident as they covered the grassy hillsides and spilled down to a large outdoor stage. “I am so grateful for this turnout!’’ shouted Mr. McCain, who attracted crowds in the low hundreds before he selected Ms. Palin as his running mate.

Has this ever happened in the history of presidential campaigns? That crowds chant the veep’s name and totally ignore the top of the ticket? I don’t think so.

It’s getting to the point where McSame is clearly afraid to campaign without Palin.

Will she hold his hand at the debates?
