Senator McCain, are you raising funds to help the hurricane victims?

1. Why do these two travel and speak together?

It's so unsettling to see McCain in the background all the time, while Palin is spouting lies. I cannot wrap my head around this approach at all. Did someone cut out his tongue?! Who is actually running for President?! I just can't grasp it.

2. Genevat, one reason may be that

the Repugs don't trust Palin on her own.

Hence, the 'no interviews' with the press,
with the exception of the C.Gibson interview.

That doesn't say much for the V.P. pick, does it?

3. Not at all, but when will McCain get a chance to spout his own lies?

Not that I am looking forward to that. lol The psychology and dynamic of the ticket is mind-boggling. It's confusing. Maybe that's their point.
