Sarah Palin has yet to meet the press

When political junkies flip through television stations on Sunday morning, they'll find policy-driven interviews with three of the four candidates on the presidential tickets — John McCain, Barack Obama and Joe Biden. They won’t, though, see Sarah Palin.

Less than two months before voters hit the polls, Palin has yet to sit down for or even schedule an issues-oriented interview with any newspaper, magazine or television network.

Meanwhile, the McCain campaign has significantly scaled back the access of the national press he used to jokingly refer to as his “base,” and several speakers, including Palin, took shots at the media in their speeches at last week's Republican convention.

Since her debut in Dayton, Ohio, the McCain campaign has been receiving about 80-100 requests a day from news organizations around the world, according to spokesman Ben Porritt, who said interest in an interview was "through the roof" and that the campaign was going through them now.

"There's no doubt in my mind that the McCain campaign would like to run out on the clock on this," said David Chalian, political director for ABC News.

2. YOU MIGHT WANT TO 'SWITCH TO LARGE FONTS'...
... if you haven't already. At the top of the pages that list posts in each forum, there is a link in the upper-left hand corner labeled 'Switch to large fonts'. I have duplicated the link below, so you should be able to just click on that.

   Switch to large fonts

Hope that makes things a little easier.

Welcome to DU. :hi:

8. I say we don't talk about her any more until she says something
worth us talking about.

The Palin frenzy is ridiculous.
