Ummm, how about every other VP who has appeared on television to argue their case to the American people? You can’t hide someone and expect people to believe the person can think on their feet. We criticize Obama because he is awful without a teleprompter. So let’s see how Palin does without one.
I have seen numerous interviews with Sarah Palin. She is articulate and well-versed in energy policy and budget items. Most of the interviews I have seen with her were about energy and the “Bridge to Nowhere.” She also testified before Congress.
I have no worries about her in a debate or in an interview. I imagine they are getting her up to speed on campaign positions and strategy.
Quit letting the media shape your feelings about this. The longer they let their expectations on her performance get lowered, the better it will be when she does do a press conference or interview.
So, let me see if I understand.
McCain resuscitated his moribund campaign by choosing Governor Palin, an unconventional pick, and now you want him to insist that she immediately act conventionally, right?
