Vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin wasn't happy about having to share her campaign bus with U.S. Sen. Richard Burr.
We at Dome know the Winston-Salem Republican as a personable guy who's pretty easy going. And so, Palin's unhappiness over her travel companion has us thinking of possible reasons, beyond the fact that Burr was very close to Sen. John McCain, who led the ticket.
So here are five possibilities:
1. Palin, used to the colder climate in Alaska, didn't trust a man who wears dress shoes without socks.
2. Two hours of Wake Forest football war stories was more than enough, thank you.
3. She got tired of Burr wanting to pull over at every ATM to withdraw money.
4. At campaign stops, Palin noticed Burr's VW "Thing" parked illegally.
5. Burr kept bragging that his staff was better looking than her staff.

Heh.
