Without her, McCain is nothing

I'm talking about Palin of course, although I suppose the same thing could be said of Cindy. He needs Palin for the popularity and Cindy to foot the bills. Hard to believe the guy has such a macho image when he lives off women. In any event, McSame held a little soiree without his arm candy candidate and it didn't go so well.

Republican presidential nominee John McCain held his first rally without running mate Sarah Palin today, and let's just say there were seats available.

The McCain "Road to Victory" rally was originally scheduled to be a pancake breakfast, but the campaign said there was such an outpouring of enthusiasm the event was shifted to the 15,000-seat Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena.

That might not have been the best idea: There were almost no supporters in any of the cavernous arena's 24 upper-level seating sections, and only eight of the 21 sections downstairs held fans. Only four of those were filled, though some supporters crowded around the stage on the arena floor.

Needless to say the deceitful duo will henceforth, be traveling together -- one expects for the duration.
