Coverage of Couric’s travels and interview with the Republican Vice Presidential nominee will include behind-the-scenes access and Palin with Senator McCain as they campaign in battleground states. The interview will take place just days before the Vice Presidential debate between Palin and Senator Joe Biden in St. Louis on Thursday, October 2.

Originally Posted By tiggertoo You know, maybe I’m wrong, but this whole idea of withholding Palin from the media seems to be a pretty slick move. While it would seem intuitive for the McCain campaign to bring Palin into the limelight so we as Americans can get to know her, by withholding her from the media we have seen them literally fawn all over her. because the McCain campaign has vowed to make her available only when it favors them, the coverage of leading journalists might be skewed in her favor so as to entice her to agree to an interview with them. On top of things, it has made the media obsessed with her, even when doesn’t speak. But when she does speak…holy cow…it’s like grace smiling down from heaven, and she dominates the headlines for three days solid. I think the evidence bares this out. But while a shrewd move, I wonder how long they can continue to employ the tactic. But then, the media are simply marionettes, easily manipulable, and except for on rare Pinocchio like occasions, dumb as wood.

Originally Posted By Mr X It certainly is slick of them. The libs, along with any right wingers who have an ounce of intelligence, know full well that Palin is vacuous and lacking..something which an intensive press conference would reveal to the world in a heartbeat. The fact that the GOP machine has cleverly crafted a strategy to completely avoid that nightmare is what's giving the libs a collective aneurysm. The machine certainly is cunning, baffling, and powerful. Almost like some sort of insidious "disease" infesting the American political system which upon further examination is nothing more than an unhealthy habit which needs to be broken. True conservatives should form a new party and leave "Republican" to the neocons.

Originally Posted By Mr X It's up to the left (as a group, people..as a Group) to demand otherwise. Obama taught us how grassroots should work...now it's up to US to take it to the next level. Starting out with the internet works well...we need to DEMAND that she speak to the public. DEMAND that she answer questions...DEMAND that all these controversies be addressed and DEMAND that she answer for her crimes in Russia (er..sorry, Alaska...so nearby and all, my bad lol). Seriously. We could start the ball rolling right here on LP...but it'd better be quick. Call BS where you see it, and let's collectively make some changes!
