Weird Sarah Palin Fact

In modern US political history, it appears that the longest a candidate for President or Vice President took to hold a press conference is 10 days. That’s held by Thomas Eagleton, who was asked to be George McGovern’s 1972 running mate. Palin looks set to break that record if she fails to hold a press conference by the end of Monday. A minor miracle may be the only thing stopping that. Andrew Sullivan sums it up best when he asks, “This is a pitbull with lipstick? More like a cowering chihuahua.”

Ooops!

Weird Sarah Palin Fact 9)

Scrap weird fact number 8, Andrew Sullivan, alerted by a reader now says that Thomas Eagleton faced the press on CBS Face the Nation the day after he announced. “What is happening with Palin is without historical precedent.”

That will still give her the longest delay to speaking with the media and it still won't be a press conference.

I am hoping that the ticket implodes - I am. I won't object at all.

She really DOESN'T know anything about Washington, does she?
