Judging from his public statements shortly after he announced Sarah Palin as his running mate, John McCain thought she had opposed the Bridge to Nowhere. She hadn't. He thought she had sold the state's executive jet on eBay and made a profit on it. On both counts, she didn't. He thought she had cut taxes as both mayor and governor. She hadn't. He apparently thought she had fully explained her part in pressuring the state police chief to fire her ex-brother-in-law. She hasn't. He thought she was an enemy of earmarks and federal pork. In fact, she was a pioneer of both.Kevin points out that because Palin wasn't properly vetted, the McCain campaign is now scared to death to let the press have at her. There is about 60 days til the election. How long will we have to wait until Palin is interviewed by objective journalists?

Good question.
Someone should start a lottery.
Seem to remember that GW Bush didn't do Q & A press conferences for a most of his first term. He only gave taped addresses.
forget about objective journalists -- palin is so unprepared that she won't even go on fox! i dunno about others, but that speaks volumes to me.
it's an obvious point that's been made several times already, but it still bears repeating: this is the person john mccain thinks is ready to step into the presidency on day 1. this is the person john mccain thinks will help him change washington. the mind reels....
