McCain campaign keeps Palin under wraps

DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — Asked about her refusal to turn over e-mails to an Alaska investigator, Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin looked up, smiled — and then stepped wordlessly into her waiting car.

Four days after leaving Alaska for her first solo campaign trip, Palin's hallmark is a disciplined adherence to a sparse public schedule. Appearances are few, interviews with the news media fewer still, and unscripted moments nonexistent.

She is frequently feisty in front of an audience, including Monday evening when she drew cheers as she laid into "far-East Coast politicians" who don't understand the need for control of coyotes or other predators. Or when her introduction of husband Todd as "first dude" evoked a few wolf whistles at a fundraiser.

But by the campaign's design, the self-described pitbull with lipstick, a history-making vice presidential candidate who has helped reshape the race for the White House, doesn't freelance.

1. Im sorry .... This just AINT gonna fly ....

This is sneaky snarky assed shit ....

The American people dont fall for that crap .... She is becoming damaged goods ....

McCain blew it when he picked her ...

I am almost tempted to start a 'When Will Sarah Be Dumped' poll ....

2. Sarah gets money for Alaskans, profiting from American oil sold on world markets

Then she rails against the "East Coast politicians" in Washington that made it all happen.

3. Her lack of depth is becoming more obvious even to the casual political observer.

Once the newer chatter about wolves is done, she looks two-dimensional as she recites the old speech. I suspect her daughter's pregnancy is beginning to "wear" on some people, too, as they seek not to bump into that proverbial elephant in the room.

4. She's fading in the polls

Her shallowness must be getting apparent to even the politically blind. Or purblind.

5. She's a joke and McCain is a joke...did you see the women

leaving the rally after she snarled her speech? They don't want to hear him at all and why they show up for her lies is beyond me.

6. its getting old

all these reps going on shows saying dems are sexiest, diverting attention from the issues, and saying we are just "afraid" of palin and the mccain campaign. It is all a joke and hopefully people wake up and see they are pulling the same successful tactics of the past, and don't fall victim.
