All very true. On Palin, though, I almost feel sorry for his staff. Someone connected to his campaign admitted yesterday that Palin isn't ready to face the press...IMO, that means she isn't ready to be VP. She can't even be interviewed by Chris Wallace on FAUX because they fear she will either tell another lie or embarrass the campaign further.
It seems the backdrop was the Walter Reed Middle School. You'd think someone would have had the brains to realize their mistake before they made fools of themselves on national tv. Times like this make me glad so many tuned in.
McCain's staff. I almost feel sorry for McCain's staff.pssssssst Palin is a woman
McCain's staff. I almost feel sorry for McCain's staff.
The McCain campaign reportedly told the Atlantic’s Marc Ambinder not to expect any one-on-one interviews with Palin any time soon. Despite McCain’s pledge of transparency — even proposing a regular President’s question time with Congress modeled after the British version — he has been shutting off press access for months. Yesterday, a Time reporter explained that McCain bizarrely refused to answer his questions, “like he’d been body-snatched.”
Davis insisted that “there are no strings attached” to media access to McCain. Yet just this week, McCain abruptly canceled an interview with Larry King as punishment for a tough CNN interview with one of his spokesmen. What’s more, top McCain aide Mark Salter said that “only the good reporters” would get the best seats in the new campaign plane. “You have to earn it,” he said.
Davis told MSNBC that Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE) “didn’t do a single interview until a week after his nomination,” but the assertion is false. Biden and Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) sat for an interview with 60 Minutes “just moments after” Obama left the stage at the Democratic convention.
so, basically TPM(the original source for this story in the OP) is lying yet again

Includes a video with one staffer on a morning show saying essentially that.
McCain sounds like he is hanging on for dear life.
Let's not pretend that Obama is running his own campaign.
Are you kidding me?
DAVIS: Were going to do whatever we think is the best to win. We have 60 days left and if we think its a good idea to go out there and do those shows, well do them.
It's from an interview with the butterball. I'll look for a link, but in the mean time, here's the quote in question:
If she goes out and makes a mistake, that is something that [voters will] care about, and that's something that will haunt [McCain] for awhile, so I think this is a smart move.

Can I make fun of her clothes too?
Every candidate has a list of reporters and talk shows that they won't do interviews with. No worries--she will show up for the debates and you will have plenty of time to make fun of what she says.
