McCain's camp is now a circus. Isn't it cute how he's taking her on a date around New York, showing her off like a Trophy Wife? I like what one poster said:

Palin to Meet Foreign Leaders at U.N.
Monica Langley reports on the presidential race.
Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin will meet with foreign leaders next week at the United Nations, a move to boost her foreign-policy credentials, a Republican strategist said.
Republican candidate John McCain plans to introduce the Alaska governor to heads of state at the opening of the U.N. General Assembly, although specific names weren?t yet firmed up. ?The meetings will give her some exposure and experience with foreign leaders,? the strategist said. ?It?s a great idea.?
McCain and Palin are expected to visit the U.N. on Tuesday, when President George W. Bush will address the international body.
Since her nomination, Palin has energized the Republican base, drawn huge crowds and propelled fund-raising. However, Democrats have attacked her as weak on foreign policy experience. Even on last week?s ?Saturday Night Live,? actress Tina Fey spoofed Palin?s assertion that she is familiar with issues involving Russia, noting that Alaska is nearby. ?I can see Russia from my house!? Fey-as-Palin said.
But McCain advisers hope her U.N. visit will show how quickly Palin can make key connections and become well-versed in foreign-policy issues.
Then after she goes to the UN for an hour to ?meet foreign leaders? and establish her security/foreign policy credentials, McCain will take her to a hospital, so she can establish her ?health care? credentials; then they will go out in the street and meet a whole bunch of African-Americans, Hispanics, and Asians to check off the ?diversity? credentials; then they can ride the subway for one stop to clarify her ?infrastructure? credentials; and then, finally, she can use her ATM card at a bank branch down on Wall Street so she can demonstrate her expertise on the financial markets.
