Is Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCains campaign strategy demeaning to women? Yes, according to CBSs Bob Schieffer, because the McCain camp is selective about when and where GOP vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin makes media appearances
Schieffer, the host of CBSs Sunday morning public affairs program, Face the Nation, appeared at Politics & Prose, a bookstore in Washington, D.C. on September 15 to promote his newest book, Bob Schieffers America.
Schieffer, who is scheduled to moderate the last presidential debate between Obama and McCain, on October 15th, called it the McCain campaigns obligation to make Alaska Gov. Palin available to the press. He criticized the McCain campaign for not breaking her onto the media scene as rapidly as some might like. Schieffer suggested Palins gender may even be playing a role in the campaigns strategy.

They continue to act like it's a interview, when in reality it's a one sided gotcha debate.
This type of scenario is worse than a straight debate. Because they are lying about their intent throughout the interview, Gov Palin isn't able to address their bias and false premises. They are running out of Democrat journalists who they think can influence viewers as unbiased. No reason to give Bob Liberal Schieffer another biased opportunity similar to the recent inquisition by Charlie Liberal Gibson. Just say no to the biased Liberal Press.

They aren't even covering Obiden -- Rush said yesterday that the media section in Obiden's campaign plane is empty -- the LameStream Medjia aren't even traveling with him or covering him.
I would like to see Sarah do a press conference with a giant tv screen behind her. When a reporter stands to ask a question, the screen will show all of the softball questions this reporter asked 0bama, and/or if they interviewed Biden at all.
I believe old Bob just gave up his Democrap assignment as moderator of the last Presidential Candidates Debate!

Brit Hume needs to step in for Bob Liberal Schieffer.
Sounds like the MSM are trying hard to get Palin “out there” so they can take a swipe at her to lift up their guy Obama. I like the strategy used. She will be on Sean Hannity this week and this has got to ire the Dems...I love it!
Yeah, and while we're at it, it is the "obligation" of our troops to expose themselves to enemy fire...same difference!
and is the obama campaign demeaning to all hair transplant recipients because plugs isn’t holding any press conferences-not that anyone would attend.
Yeah, if he did, I missed it too.
Memo to Schieffer: Please list all press conferences held by Obama/Biden ticket in past three weeks. Do not include stump appearances.
Isn’t it wonderful that people like Schieffer have the uncanny ability to speak for other people—or care more for other people’s children than do the parents? I think Bob should be wearing one of those swami hats. Apparently he’s earned that badge of office.
