    Palin keeps ducking

    NEW YORK - Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, who has not held a press conference in nearly four weeks of campaigning, on Tuesday banned reporters from her first meetings with world leaders, allowing access only to photographers and a television crew.

    CNN, which was providing the television coverage for news organizations, decided to pull its TV crew, effectively denying Palin the high visibility she had sought.


    She sure is showing leadership hiding behind that skirt.

    You're kidding, right?

    Joe Biden? As of last week, CBS estimates that he's done 80 interviews with local and national press since the DNC last month. That's oh, 78 more than Palin. Can't shut the dude up. And believe us, the Obama campaign would like to.

    Wasn't kidding...just didn't know what the standard was for a VP candidate.


    Whether she's qualified or not, the GOP sure is adding fuel to the "unqualified" fire by keeping her under lock and key for so long.

    Why not post all the info that is already known?

    12 Noon: Word has come in that a CNN producer WILL be allowed to accompany the camera at these meetings. This issue appears to be resolved.
    It's hilarious how quickly people allow themselves to be duped without even doing any reasearch.

    You really think it was resolved?

    CNN, which was providing the television coverage for news organizations, decided to pull its TV crew from the first meeting, with Karzai, effectively denying Palin the high visibility she had sought. But after the campaign agreed to let CNN's producer in as well, the CNN camera crew joined the session.

    According to the CNN producer who was let into Karzai's hotel suite with the photographers just before noon, Karzai was talking about his son. Palin was nodding, and asked what his name is. Karzai replied his name was Mirwais and explained that it means light of the house.

    The media were escorted out after about 40 seconds.
    This was nothing more than a photo-op.

    Attempting to change the subject and board Republicans go hand in hand.

    Why has Palin only done two interviews while Biden has done 80?

    Had she allowed everyone that showed up to follow her around, libs would have accused her of doing the whole thing just to get more publicity while shamelessly trying to boost her foriegn relations experience.

    She's damned if she does, and damned if she doesn't.

    The McCain campaign is afraid to let her do interviews.

    Why?

    She should subject herself to the same amount of press scrutiny as Obama, Biden and McCain. If she can't do that, then she and her supporters shouldn't about unfair campaign coverage. She can make this all go away if she starts doing interviews and pressers...of course, that is obviously a bad thing for the McCain campaign, so hence the hide her strategy...

    I don't think it's fear. She's on everyone's mind right now, without having to do a bunch of publicity appearances on TV. Once her newness starts to fade (like, right about now) you'll start to see more interviews and Q&As.

    Why not just get all the free campaigning in right now, prep her, then let her do her TV when all the free stuff dies off.

    But she didn't so you have no argument. All you have is conjecture. Idiotic conjecture at that.

    But the McCain campaign wanted the cameras there to make a visual spectacle of her. *gasp*

    You guys couldn't be more disingenuous in your excuse making if you tried.

    So they need to prep her?

    I thought she was ready when she was nominated.
