The New "It" Girl

Ran across this cartoon today of Palin. Does anyone else think it's kind of weird that Palin seemingly came in and just "took over" After all, who really heard anything about her until McCain picked her? In all the media lately it's Palin shaking hands, signing autographs, speaking to the crowd while McCain kind of just takes the back seat. Hmmm...do we have another Bush/Cheney situation?
