Is she scared -- or is the McCain campaign afraid of her showing her ignorance? I understand she's been being extensively tutored on foreign policy lately.

She has not been silent. Since the RNC convention ended 2 nights ago Palin has been on numerous campagin stops with McCain. She is speaking at all of the meetings.

McCain and Palin is suppose to be in Missouri Monday, and likely Ohio and Pennsylvania on Tuesday.
She is then slated to leave to go back to Alaska in the middle part of next week seeing her son off that is going to be deployed to Iraq.

She has not faced a single question. She has been scripted every step of the way, without a single spontaneous moment.

What's she afraid of? What's McCain afraid of?

Perhaps I should have titled the thread "Scared Sarah."

No, you're getting confused. It's the Democrats who are SCARED of Sarah. That's why they have to make up lies and do a little spinning just to keep the democrats focused.

We aren't scared of Sarah. We just would like to have more insight into her political views.

We like to deal in reality and nobody knows Sarah very well.

Maybe Todd is willing to talk . . . to give credit to the Republicans, we might be scared of Sarah if we knew what she had to say.

I know the stuff I read about her is pretty terrifying.

If you are interested in Palin's views..just do a youtube search.
There are some interviews that are available from this year. Several with Glen Beck (but I don't think you like him).
Palin doen't agree with McCain with everything. I hope she continues to speak her mind.

YouTube - Alaska Governor Sarah Palin on Larry Kudlow

In the video above she speaks about her views on energy.

I would like to see an interview with Palin that wasn't done by a representative of the Republican party, as Glen Beck is for all intents and purposes. Is Kudlow not one of them? I've never heard of him.

ETA: Ah, CNBC. Thanks for the link. I'll be listening. Appreciate it.

What does this have to do with the FACT that she won't/isn't allowed to speak to the media? How the hell are yall going to convince independents to vote for her if they can't even watch her get interviewed on CNN, NBC, ABC, etc.? How the HELL is she supposed to be a good VP if she can't even hold her own the U.S. press corps, much less world press and leaders???


Oh wait! I know the answer to that! Dems are scared. Apparently that's the new Republican catch phrase.

Why are you SO worried about it if you have no intention of voting for her anyway??

I can't wait to hear her and I have little doubt that she will be able to hold her own.

I gather that you won't be posting in any threads about Obama, then, if you have no intention of voting for him anyway.

No, you're probably wrong about that. lol

What I was getting at is that the poster seemed overly concerned about Gov. Palin giving interviews. Why?

Melissa

Because if she's running to become VP of the country I live in, I deserve to know her views on things. Or is that non sequitur to republicans now?

I'm so over it.

I'm still so disappointed with the GOP for choosing her.

And I would still like to know what makes Obama worthy of the Presidency....oh yes, community organizer!!!! Obama is full of promises and pie in the sky ideals. McCain has a 25+ year record not to mentioin is service to this country in the armed forces.

Not to mention a VP candidate by his side with duct tape covering her mouth.

That certainly is not true. GEESH!!
She is speaking at rally meeting all over the place.

Most news even has her quotes today about the bailout of Freedie/ Fannie Mae.

Candidates React to Mortgage Giant Bailout - America’s Election HQ

(Well, I don't see Biden mention anywhere in that article or others)

Which ones have interviews?

Have the courage to be yourself.

You do not have to have a set-down type of interview to know the views that someone has. She is out on the campaign trail talking.

If you truly want to know her views on different issues just goggle or youtube previous interviews.
That is what I done to learn about Obama, if I waited on him to do a set-down interview I would have waited a long time.
He finally made time, after promising months ago, to do the Bill O'Reilly interview.

I doubt very much if most posters on here will do their own research.

The "People" magazine interview comes out this week. It was done last week but it comes out now.
ETA: Sarah Palin Talks About Her Family Struggles : People.com

I doubt very much if the GOP will allow her to do any sit down interviews. I want to know how she handles herself in an interview. How she responds to questions that are unexpected, uneasy, and/or hard. I want to know why she's said some the stuff she's said, etc.

Again I ask, where are those interviews?

The OP was about her not being scheduled on any of the "sunday" political shows. She has, to be fair, made numerous campaign stops with Senator McCain but hasn't appeared without him at all. She'll be heading back to Alaska for a week or more in the next few days. Thinking it's not out of line to expect that a VP candidate would be taking questions from the press within a week or 2 of her acceptance of the nomination.

You do understand that Obama is too, right?

New York Times

Every day around 8 a.m., foreign policy aides at Senator Barack Obama's Chicago campaign headquarters send him two e-mails: a briefing on major world developments over the previous 24 hours and a set of questions, accompanied by suggested answers, that the candidate is likely to be asked about international relations during the day.

It is a shame that you actually believe that you are the only poster on here who cares enough about what is going on in this campaign time to do their own research. But, contrary to your beliefs, there are many of us here who have done extensive research on both ticket members. It is a shame you feel so superior to all of us. Pretty shallow of you to think so. You ARE wrong, by the way.
