I read someone who interpreted it as a way of keeping the palin bump going -- her charm balancing his woodenness (or something like that). Actually, I believed at the time and still believe that they're terrified of her, after the first interview having bombed so badly, and he wasn't going to let her out of his sight. heaven knows what they're thinking now. she's probably been instructed to stick to the 80s-style soundbite and skirt around the current reality-TV-style questions. kind of makes you think of perot's running mate, whats-his-name, when he answered the abortion question with something to the effect "it's her body, it's her business ..." etc etc etc. if i remember correctly, perot couldn't ditch him fast enough. i read, briefly, that mccain wasn’t appearing anywhere without palin by his side.
