Today, it was NBC anchor Brian Williams’ turn to interview Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, making him the last of the network anchors to quiz the Republican vice presidential candidate. Williams conducted a joint interview with Palin and Sen. John McCain this afternoon in Ohio, and according to early reports, the news out of their exchange may be what wasn’t said.
In an on-air discussion with MSNBC’s Chris Matthews about the interview, NBC News political director Chuck Todd offered a frank assessment of what he said was an awkward tension between the two candidates and the sense of gloom that hung over the campaign.
Here's what Todd said:
There was a tenseness, between, first of all, between the two –- there’s no chemistry. I couldn’t see chemistry between John McCain and Sarah Palin. I felt as if we grabbed two people and said, "Here, sit next to each other, we’re going to conduct an interview." They’re not comfortable with each other yet. The other thing about it is you can tell they know that they’re losing. They’re drained, the entire campaign staff is drained. The two candidates seem guarded, they seem on edge. It’s not as if they were rude or anything. It’s not as if they weren’t trying to be forthcoming. It’s a negative intensity -- I don’t know how else to describe it. You’ll see, when you see the two of them together, the chemistry is not all there. You do wonder, is John McCain starting to blame her for things, blaming himself? Is she blaming him? ... But whatever it is, it’s a negative vibe that you get in that room...
I can’t emphasize enough the odd body language.

Acording to the La la Times reporter...
First, chuck todd is full of sh!t.
Second, this is a duplicate post.
Yes, and there is no tension with Obama and Biden? Right. Now why was Biden yanked off the campaign trail again?
lol
idiots
Maybe they had gas.
Gees.
General Electric Corp. owns NBC. Consider that fact next time you are out shopping.
I guess there was nothing else to emphasize.
lmao
I like how you address the issue before you chastised the OP.
Why is NBC allowed to talk to Sarah Palin ???
Have they lost there minds ??????
Still no negative news about Obama and his Obamacorns. They are perfect.
THird Chuckie’s wife works for the DNC !
This is what she gets for doing that idiotic SNL gig.
Tell us how comfortable Mr. Mendacity Obama and Motormouth Ratchetjaw Biden are with each other! Horsefeathers!!
What do ya think, tht they were uncomfortable with him?
ANY tenseness probably comes from HAVING TO TALK to NBC!!!!
Did old Chuck Todd, now a body language expert rather than a political director at NBC/MSNBC consider that there may be some tension because the campaign figured that Brian would try to sandbag them just the way CNN sandbagged Palin yesterday?
NBC/MSNBC are true trash.
The Obama press making stuff up.
Is that Davis this stupid to let an Obama front group and Obama media whore like B Williams anywhere near them ????
Who the hell thinks this is a good idea ???
That Davis is full blown Idiot !
