How Can A Person Nominated for the 2nd Highest Office in America Not Take Interviews?
Especially someone that no one really knows just who the hell she is nor her positions on major issues, and why is the media perfectly happy with this?

This woman could be completely insane, and we'd have no way of knowing.

Hell, they make pro athletes meet with the media.

8. Nope. Not A Joke
First, they said that she had to prepare for her speech last night. She will campaign with McCain over the weekend, and then she returns home to Alaska to help her son ship out on 9/11.

They're even hinting that she may speak above the heads of the media.

She has no real interviews scheduled, and for the media to not be outraged is ridiculous.

4. Because she's just a token candidate.
Go back to Alaska Sarah. You're not ready for the big time.

7. Their excuse is that the media is "manhandling" her. I think it's time for her to man-up.
If she can't take the heat, she is not headed to the kitchen... not only that, she's burned her bridges in the Republic of Alaska and she's going home to impeachment after her loss here in that "other" country.

10. Why mess with your batting average when Wolf says you hit a grand slam in your first at-bat?
Why mess with it when you're the undisputed major league leader?

11. I read somewhere in DU that Bushies are going to give her...
a crash course on "Presidenting". In other words, it really is going to be
more of the same. I'm sure she's being kept busy memorizing all the talking points
and BS and cues for inserting smirks for her debate with Biden.

13. Because McCain has this stupid ass country convinced that
the press is out to get her, so of course she's doing the right thing by not talking to them.

Did I mention the fact that we're the dumbest goddamn industrialized nation in the history of humankind?
