Check out the crosstabs on those Insider Advantage polls. In Michigan, they have McCain leading Obama by double digits in the 18-29 age group. In OH, they have Obama getting only 48% of the black vote and McCain getting 23%. The rest (27%) are undecided. Yeah, right.

Funny how the tough-talkin', "we'll keep you safe" Republican party led by POW POW POW "I know how to win wars" John McCain and their pitbull hockey mom Sarah Palin are so afraid of lil' ol' Keith Olbermann. What a bunch of pussies. But, they are the same precious little flowers who were so offended and aggrieved by that mean ol' Campbell Brown.

Wusses.

A Chicken With Lipstick?

Anyone notice the tabs on the Insider Advantage polls in Colorado and Ohio.
In Ohio, where they have Obama down 1 point, they show McSame winning 23% of the African-American vote.
In Colorado, where they have Obama ahead by 3 points, they show McSame winning 25% of the African-American vote.
Yeah, right.

She's probably going to do interviews with local newspapers I bet.

Lots of interviews with Talk radio hosts. Fox news, Wall Street Journal, and Washington Times?
You know,(wink, wink) the Legitimate, objective Press.

Maybe we can get former DOJ hack, Monica Goodling to ask her:

What is it about John McCain that makes you want to serve him?

MCCAIN has the football. Tackle MCCAIN!!!

I doubt she'll be on O'Reilly, but I imagine she might go on Fux with someone like Carl Cameron, she'll certainly do Rush Limbaugh, maybe Hannity, maybe Savage, and she'll probably do something like sit down with Rick Warren or some megachuch/media empire figure.

Interviews means "The View" or "Ellen" it does not mean MTP or Face the Nation.

This is still a story of hiding her from the voters, and the press should not let up until she holds a news conference or submits to an actual grilling from someone (which we can assume won't happen with ABC).

"Negotiated" interviews = softball forums and puff pieces.

The McCain campaign wants to feed her celebrity buzz, and they want to offer enough exposure in these forums that they can deflect criticism for not having her do any actual news interviews.

What I want to know is this: When McCain neutered the press, did he do it with a rubber band or did his pitbull just gnaw off their investigative skills??

This is getting ridiculous. It's all Palin all the time, and we're just feeding the frenzy with constant harping about the press and the lies. This "roll-out" will, if we let it, control the news cycles for several weeks. And we have lowered expectations for Ms. Palin so much that she'll have to work pretty hard to disappoint.

It's clear we're not going to rid ourselves of this pretender to the throne, and the public doesn't care how much the Republicans lie and obfuscate, so let's just get back on the issues before it's too late.

Actually, I think Obama's about the only one who has kept his bearing through all of this.

Uh oh. New video discovery. This is going to play well.

"Handsome young man limps to freedom after years of torture. Film at 11."

Look - we don't control what the media talks about. WE don't control what Obama talks about.

IF we want to talk about Sarah Palin or fucking macrame, so the fuck what?

If you don't want to talk about her, find another thread on a different post on a different page on a different fucking subject.

And shut the fuck up here.

Fuck negoitations. Palin is a PUBLIC OFFICAL seeking a PUBLIC OFFICE.

PUBLIC scrutiny is a requirement. Palin NEEDs to submit or withdraw.

Does McInsane have so little faith in her, becuase she is a woman, that he will not let her speak in public?

I know that the Republicans are the Party of the American Rupturian Taliban BUT this is ridiculous.

I am pissed beyond all belief.

What's this "negotiating"? Anyone running for VP should talk about issues in unstructured settings to give us voters a sense of how suitable this person is for the 2nd highest office in the country.

I heard that radio jock Ed Schulz is flying over a foreign country (Canada) on his flight to Alaska tomorrow. He should know that this educational and intelligence-gathering move (being near to a foreign country) actually qualifies him to be the Secretary of State in the McCain/Palin administration.

So, if he drops all that liberal stuff and just plays his cards right . . .

No candidate for President OR for VP in the television era has ever avoided full access to the media, all the time, from the day of the convention onward until election day. Ever. The media want their shot at Palin without restrictions, and no matter how much of a pro-McCain bias they have, they will be madder than hell if they don't get it. Many careers have been boosted or even made by doing a routine small-time interview with a VP candidate such as Dan Quayle, Al Gore, etc. and getting a big headline. The McCain campaign wants to shut out every chance of that and put Palin in a Greta Garbo mode? The media will rebel for sure, their own egos and careers are at stake. It transcends politics.

Will she be doing off-the-cuff interviews on the campaign trail? Will she take quetions from reporters at campaign stops? Indeed, will she take questions from the audiences--of course, that is if they are truly open to the public.

hmmm...starting to wonder about "plants" in the audiences with prepared--and previewed--questions?
