Mr. Paine & Mr. Franklin would be appalled.
They are giving her a crash course on the party line, and foreign policy.

I looked at links Big Jon gave - thanks. Seems we have a Born Again Christian who wants to Drill in Alaska, doesn't believe in global warming, and thinks Polar Bears are on their own I guess that's all us American's need to know.

Default Why to get off of oil

If we would start drilling in Alaska tomorrow, the American People would
not see any economic impact until 2030. We must get OFF of oil, and make America, truly independent

Obama waited 19 months to go on O'reilly. What was Obama waiting for?

Maybe Palin is waiting to go on Oprah first.

I would LOVE to see that.

I think more than her experience, just her lack of knowledge is what's keeping her away from the press. I don't think it's her idea, either. She's arrogant enough to want to talk to them immediately, I imagine. But first she needs to go through economics and foreign policy school. I think her 'handlers' are preventing it.

I also think they are preventing it because she's been stealing McCain's thunder a bit and they might want the focus to be back on McCain.

We only have a couple of months left so she needs to get out there right away I hope all of this time is giving interviewers plenty of time to prepare the tough questions!

The longer they keep Sarah Palin from the media, the more people are going to question how qualified she is. Remember when John McCain and Sarah Palin were shopping in a store? a reporter asked Palin what her experience was and she couldnt answer the question. She just said her experience prepared her for the job. Answers like that is likely the reason they are keeping he away from the press.
