We all know what's going to come out of them. This morning MSNBC ran a Palin "speech" in its entirety, no comment from the newsreader or any D advisors. I thought my wife had switched the channel to FNC.

I'd say if she doesn't want to answer questions (other than "mailed in" interviews with Fox affiliates) then just quit covering her. The audience is the same everywhere, Republican base voters who have been so f***ed over by the system (according to them) that they think if a Black man gets in they'll "lose everything.

It's nothing but an echo chamber, leave the cameras and mikes at home.

It is kind of strange that they let her freeze them out but tag along....wonder if she'd grant interviews if the Camera's disappeared for a couple of days......

I think it's just because that's all that's going on. Biden's at a funeral and Obama's not campaigning, probably as a result of Biden's issue. It's understandable that they cover Palin. I like it, she just keeps digging a deeper and deeper hole.

They follow her for the comedy. Don't you watch the nightly news?

I don't think the big nationals follow the VP candidates any more. They probably just take feeds from the local affiliates or Associated Press.

But you're right. It's the same canned speech, different climate, same crowd.

She has been very convincing the last few days, the msm had set the bar so low on her and was set up, a rovian tactic.

they follow her because she is the hottest thing in politics today, and for many years to come. Those of you who mock her are just fearful angry leftist hate mongers.
Love her, for she will be around for many years.
