So - instead of Mr. "No more interviews" and Ms. "I'm Not Yet Ready for My Close-Up" its "I'm not ready to talk to the press" and Mr. "No more interviews".

Maybe they can create life-size cardboard cut-outs of themselves and replay soundbites from their RNC speeches from here on out? That way the candidates -or their cardboard cutout images - could be duplicated and cover a lot more ground - and be just as effective as their real life dummy can't answer any questions I'm too busy campaigning counterparts.

"Reformer" Palin Accepted Donations From Indicted Alaska Oil

tcbishop12 sent a shout to jdrexel 1 hr 44 min ago

We're getting major blowback from the McCain trolls, and need some help. Here are some additional facts: PALIN RNC speech: “It was the spirit that brought me to the governor’s office, when I took on the old politics as usual in Juneau … when I stood up to the special interests, the lobbyists, big oil companies, and the good-ol’ boys network.”

FACTS: PALIN HAS A LT. GOVERNOR WHO IS A FORMER OIL LOBBYIST, HIRED WASILLA’S FIRST FEDERAL LOBBYIST (A FORMER STEVENS STAFFER) & HAD THE SUPPORT OF ENTRENCHED ALASKA POLITICIANS DURING HER 2006 RACE.

Palin’s Oil & Gas Appointee Is Former Lobbyist for TransCanada. “Marty Rutherford, who leads Gov. Sarah Palin’s gas pipeline team, made $40,200 in 2003 while consulting in Juneau for a pipeline subsidiary of TransCanada. TransCanada is one of the companies bidding for a state license to build a pipeline to carry gas to market from Alaska’s North Slope. It’s not a disqualifier, but the past connection deserves a second thought.” [Anchorage Daily News editorial, 12/15/07]

Palin “Counting on Her Lieutenant Governor Candidate… Former Oil Lobbyist” to Help Win Oil Industry Support. “The defiantly grass-roots nature of the campaign may have distanced her from certain traditional centers of power in Alaska. The oil industry is one — but the campaign says it is counting on her lieutenant governor candidate, Parnell, a former oil lobbyist and legislator, to help there.” [Anchorage Daily News, 10/24/06]
And - as noted in this factual report: In Her 2002 Campaign for Lieutenant Governor, Palin Raised ‘About 10 Percent Of Her Campaign Fund’ From Veco, An Oil Company At the Heart of Federal Investigation. “While mayor of Wasilla, Palin ran for lieutenant governor in 2002. She gathered $5,000 — or about 10 percent of her campaign fund — from Veco officials or their wives along the way.” [Anchorage Daily News, 9/6/06]

No Questions: Palin Won't Talk To Press

forthewin11 sent a shout to jdrexel 6 hr 45 min ago

So what happens if she would need to talk to Russia or some other country? They certainly won't be nice to her. Heck, some might be more harsh than the media has been. Is she going to hide again then too?

The McCain campaign just solidified what the media has said. They are afraid to let her loose. They are afraid that she isn't ready. They are afraid that she will "gaffe up" and ruin his chances.

Palin was in no way the best pick, and the McCain showed that here. She was purely political. If Mitt Romney or Pawlenty were selected, they would have been on every single show within a week. The McCain campaign just believes that she isn't ready.
