Who comes up with this kind of strategy? Basically they have a Vice Presidential candidate who is not giving interviews. That's unprecedented in modern political history.

The first major lesson journalism and communication majors learn in college is to never fail to respond. You have to get your message out. If you're not giving interviews to combat the other side's views then you are ignoring the momentum at your peril. That is 3rd year communication undergrad.

2. McDouchebagg thinks he has a winning strat. Unfortunately for him, reporters like the rest of us,
don't like to be unfairly maligned or dissed. They will give him real reasons to not like the press.

4. Unless your candidate is wholly incapable of responding ...
... without revealing a lack of knowledge and/or intellect. They're isolating her because she is unqualified for the office, and wouldn't make it through the media interview gauntlet without it being revealed.

The media needs to be pushed to go after the interviews, and McCain needs to be shamed into bringing her forward. To wit...
