John McCain and Sarah Palin should defy conventional political wisdom and start campaigning almost exclusively together, preferably in smaller town hall type settings. I saw some of the event held in Michigan today and the dynamic of McCain/Palin taking questions from the crowd and playing off each other was effective. The duo makes an impressive campaign team, unlike Obama and Biden, and seem to complement each other. I know most astute political observers will say it's best to spilt up the ticket to cover more ground - and I know that has to be done to a certain extent - but I believe McCain and Palin sticking together on the campaign trail might just make a difference. Bill Clinton bucked coventional wisdom in 1992 by picking a VP that, on the surface, appeared to be of limited political value due to their similarities. John McCain should buck the tradition campaigning strategy and hone the tag team approach with Palin. That may just be a winning strategy.
