Why should Sarah Palin give... (Below threshold)1. Posted by daniel rotter | September 7, 2008 9:22 PM | Score: -11 (11 votes cast)
Why should Sarah Palin give interviews to the media? It's not like she's running to Vice President of the United States or anyone.

They only started whining about this when, Friday evening?
Sheesh. The real world doesn't run on internet time. They ask "why hasn't she done ?????" and then ten minutes later go "she STILL hasn't done ?????" - and thirty minutes after THAT conclude "she must be frightened!"
Man, what idiots. They couldn't do the Democratic Party more harm if they tried.

Daniel: "Why should Sarah Palin give interviews to the media?"
I know! Why doesn't she just employ the "Courageous Obama"-Rule and simply refuse any tough interviews (ie Fox News) for 18 months?
I mean, that was a "COURAGEOUS" stand. Almost, ALMOST as courageous as Obama's heroic "thinking about joining the military" thoughts he had as a young man which he then "helpfully" omitted from his 2 (Yes, 2!) autobiographies.
Amazing Barack: so many accomplishments it took 2 autobiographies to capture them all.

Just to keep this in perspective...
This interview has been announced less than 72 hours after the end of the Republican National Convention.
Let me repeat that: 72 hours. HOURS.

I'm not happy with the answer. Why did you single out Fox? Obama hasn't done a tough interview with ANY network. For the previous poster, there's no 'Derangement Syndrome' regarding Obama. The guy has been skating for 19 months, and people keep pretending he's had a tough ride along the way. He's starting to crack now, and it's fun to watch...
