But She's a Drag on the Ticket!

Yeah, that would be Sarah Palin, appearing today in Jefferson City, Missouri:

We have a crowd estimate! The Highway Patrol is saying 17,000 to 18,000 -- more than the Kerry-Edwards appearance here four years ago and probably second only to Mel Carnahan's funeral in 2000.

And how about Joe Biden, visiting the liberal hotbed of Lee's Summit, outside of Kansas City? Well, he drew a crowd...kinda:

Vice presidential candidate Joe Biden urged supporters in Lee's Summit Monday to work hard in the closing hours to elect Barack Obama to the White House. "Thirty-seven hours!" he told some 400 supporters in the gym at Longview Community College.

400...as opposed to 18,000.

And she's the issue.....unbelievable!

Instead of crawling up the cracks of every Obamafan in the country, how about talking to some of those who know what a real icon looks like?

....He's enamored with Sarah Palin.
