Palin and the change in traditional VP stumping

[MattBaggins]

In traditional campaigning just how much time is devoted to sending the two candidates to opposite sides of the country and how often do they appear together? Are Palin and McCain going to be traveling together so as to protect her from the mean old MSM. Does he really dare to let her off on her own and how does this impact her effectiveness?

1. Just the opposite she is protecting him, he doesnt speak, he doesnt slip

and she just reads speeches

2. But is that a good idea

Is it better to have the traditional model of them in separate states?

[Boz]

4. No this is actually a pretty smart move, they are no longer trying to win new votes

They are working hard on shoring up the votes they believe they have. In that situation this is a very smart move.

3. It's a terrible idea

Keeping the ticket glued together or hiding half of it away is an awful, desperate strategy. They're only doing it to keep Palin on a leash.
