Four Full Days And Not One Question From The Press!

Neither McCain nor Palin have taken questions from the press since she was picked for VP. McCain even turned down air-time on AC 360 tonight. Earlier on CNN, a McCain spokesperson could not even give a time-frame as to when Palin would be available for press questioning.

Meanwhile I've seen Obama/Biden comment about the GOP VP at least twice. Once on 60 minutes. And there was another press availability today when Obama took a "no holds barred" interview with the press after a campaign stop.


I think that's all you need to know about the difference between the two tickets.



McCain/Palin... 4 days and no press availability.


Let's face it... the McCain campaign is really scrambling.

1. They don't dare, unless it's a highly choreographed and scripted interview
that will allow them to stick to their talking points. She doesn't even know many of his positions and his voting record yet, and she has to brush up on world affairs.

3. Think of the reaction...


that the press would have if Obama/Biden went the first 4 days without a "presser" following Biden's VP announcement.

2. She's busy with Cheney, learning all about undisclosed locations.

5. McCain is not only incompetent, he is a coward
He is avoiding talking about his 'exciting' VP nominee during the convention, how wonderful is that?

My Republican friend told me today the he thinks McCain is trying to lose the election on purpose.

Bwahahahahaha!
