The majority of O'Reilly's viewers are hardcore conservatives. They're not going to switch their allegiances to Obama whether he did O'Reilly's show or not
We all know O'Reilly loves to talk over his guests to make his point and will ask the tough questions. I imagine he's 10 times tougher than a debate with John McCain.
If Palin has the goods to be #2 in command she needs to start showing that she has a tough skin. Wasn't she the one criticizing Hillary Clinton about not whining when put under a microscope?

Where was the DNC ducks?
It also says McCain loses the way things are now even if he wins both of those.
It appears that John McCain is getting his post-convention bounce in the form of reducing Barack Obama's lead somewhat. The bounce is likely to continue for a few more days.
it does not matter who is winning right now
it matters at the end
kind of like a basketall game
mccain just had his convention his numbers will go up
for a few more days then we can see who is winning
If you think the mans non-teleprompting interviews remotely compare to those that are teleprompted, you're delusional.
If I thought you were a fair and insightful poster, I might take you seriously; but you aren't, and I don't.I don't believe you actually believe that, though.
Everyone should know the reason not to debate McCain more than nessecary is not to give McCain free airtime when he's limited to public financing. Campaign 101
The McCain camp expects the Republican national committee's McCain-Palin Victory '08 fund to raise $100m in September and October, giving the campaign overall access to more than $300m for the fall contest. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008...008.johnmccain
The RNC was the most watched convention in History, given that, face time for McCain is hardly the issue
And with 300 million available to McCain, Money is not the issue, Obama's faltering, stuttering, often empty answers when not being spoon-fed via teleprompter is the issue.
Since the topic is Palin's refusal to show up on Sunday shows, it's not.
she is not running for the president mccain and obama is
(Palin held up good when the liberial media went after Palin's 17 year old pregnant daughter. She has a tough skin. you'll see.)The majority of O'Reilly's viewers are hardcore conservatives. They're not going to switch their allegiances to Obama whether he did O'Reilly's show or not
(So Obama was scared?)
We all know O'Reilly loves to talk over his guests to make his point and will ask the tough questions. I imagine he's 10 times tougher than a debate with John McCain.
(Let Chris Wallace ask the hardball questions at FNC.)
If Palin has the goods to be #2 in command she needs to start showing that she has a tough skin. Wasn't she the one criticizing Hillary Clinton about not whining when put under a microscope?
Nope, she needs to be protected from Bob Sieffert.
It's not just Sunday shows. It's anywhere. This woman has been regurgitating the same speech since the RNC. It's more and more obvious she knows NOTHING about the issues going on in this election. She's dead weight....a prop. Once the novelty wears off and people get her up on the platform with the tough questions (especially with foreign and economy issues) it's over.
Don't count on it. She is tougher than you think.
“Gov. Sarah Palin: An American Woman”; hosted by Greta Van Susteren, premieres Saturday at 8 p.m. EDT on the FOX News Channel, with an encore at 8 p.m. Sunday.
Bob Schaffer CBS liberal hack. Hey Bob there's a job waiting for you with Dan Rather on HDNET.
Nope, ducking media exposure that could be detrimental to the candidates is the issue, and Obama's ducking preceded Palin's. And the reason for his ducking is for the reasons I previously mentioned.
McCain's camp not allowing Palin to be subjected to the continued undue excoriation at the hands of the liberal media is exactly what they should be doing.
LOL Joch doesn't think I'm fair and insightful. That one stings. Joch is notorius for being a spin doctor much as he's done in this thread. Carry on Joch, carry on.
It is easy when she lets others do the talking for her.
Why the media should apologize

ST. PAUL, Minn. — On behalf of the media, I would like to say we are sorry.
On behalf of the elite media, I would like to say we are very sorry.
We have asked questions this week that we should never have asked.
We have asked pathetic questions like: Who is Sarah Palin? What is her record? Where does she stand on the issues? And is she is qualified to be a heartbeat away from the presidency?
We have asked mean questions like: How well did John McCain know her before he selected her? How well did his campaign vet her? And was she his first choice?
Bad questions. Bad media. Bad.
It is not our job to ask questions. Or it shouldn’t be. To hear from the pols at the Republican National Convention this week, our job is to endorse and support the decisions of the pols.
Sarah Palin hit the nail on the head Wednesday night (and several in the audience wish she had hit some reporters on the head instead) when she said: “I’m not a member of the permanent political establishment. And I’ve learned quickly, these past few days, that if you’re not a member in good standing of the Washington elite, then some in the media consider a candidate unqualified for that reason alone.”
But where did we go wrong with Sarah Palin? Let me count the ways:
First, we should have stuck to the warm, human interest stuff like how she likes mooseburgers and hit an important free throw at her high school basketball tournament even though she had a stress fracture.
Second, we should have stuck to the press release stuff like how she opposed the Bridge to Nowhere (after she supported it).
Third, we should never have strayed into the other stuff. Like when The Washington Post recently wrote: “Palin is under investigation by a bipartisan state legislative body. … Palin had promised to cooperate with the legislative inquiry, but this week she hired a lawyer to fight to move the case to the jurisdiction of the state personnel board, which Palin appoints.”
Why go there? What trees does that plant?
Fourth, we should stop making with all the questions already. She gave a really good speech. And why go beyond that? As we all know, speeches cannot be written by others and rehearsed for days. They are true windows to the soul.
Unless they are delivered by Barack Obama, that is. In which case, as Palin said Wednesday, speeches are just a “cloud of rhetoric.”
Fifth, we should stop reporting on the families of the candidates. Unless the candidates want us to.
Sarah Palin wanted the media to report on her teenage son, Track, who enlisted in the Army on Sept. 11, 2007, and soon will deploy to Iraq.
Sarah Palin did not want the media to report on her teenage daughter, Bristol, who is pregnant and unmarried.
Sarah Palin thinks that one is good for her campaign and one is not, and that the media should report only on what is good for her campaign. That is our job, and that is our duty. If that is not actually in the Cons ution, it should be. (And someday may be.)
The official theme of the convention’s third day was “prosperity,” but the unofficial theme was “the media are really, really awful.”
Even Mike Huckabee, who campaigned for president this year by saying “I am a conservative, but I am not mad at anybody,” discovered Wednesday night that he is mad at somebody.
“I’d like to thank the elite media for doing something,” Huckabee said, “that, quite frankly, I didn’t think could be done: unify the Republican Party and all of America in support of John McCain and Sarah Palin.”
And could that be the real point of the attacks on the media? To unify the Republican Party?
No, that is simply the cynical, media view.
Though as Lily Tomlin says, “No matter how cynical I get, it’s just never enough to keep up.”
I couldn’t resist that. For which I am sorry.
If you can't handle the heat, get out of the kitchen.
I'd like to interrupt this thread to ask you to cite from where you took that phrase.
There's no way in you typed that yourself.

Another DNC liberal web site.
Powerful and compelling PB! What, are you challenging me to a smiley duel?<---there ya go, enjoy>
With the exclusive use of smiley's you have avoided the possibility of being taken to task for making some ridiculous assertion.
Shrewd Peabody, very shrewd..
