I’m not at all worried about her ability to handle the press, I just resent the notion that she is being kept under wraps because she is ignorant. Any interview she does is not a platform for her to talk about her own views. She represents John McCain now, and she needs to be tight on the campaign’s message. Joe Biden is not out there doing pressers every day, and God knows Obama is one of the most secretive presidential candidates in memory. Am I the only one who remembers the Rezko presser where he took 8 questions and then stomped off, peeved that he had to put up with that? McCain is an open book (sometimes too open) and Palin will be, too.
During her two speeches I’ve seen on TV, I found her quite disarming, and I am sure she will be in no way intimidated by the likes of Tom Broke-jaw, Sissy Matthews, and Bill O’Rly.
Agreed, the two biggest areas of difference between McCain and Palin are probably illigals and global warming. At least one can hope anyway!
