It's not just Palin - McCain has not had a national press conference since Aug. 13

McCain Camp strategy = no press + control the narrative...

McCain himself was unavailable for comment about the endorsement or the meaning of the song. Even though the schedule called the event a press conference, the press was not given the opportunity to ask questions. The last time McCain spoke to the national press was August 13, 12 days ago and counting.

2. The media should be really kicking a ruckus over this.

3. Was that the one where he couldn't remember how many houses he had?

Sounds like a pretty straightforward case of cause and effect.

4. They're holding out until they can get the questions in advance

otherwise they'll just tell their base that the liberal media wouldn't give them air time. Their base doesn't care about facts and the more they talk the more real American's can find out what bullshiters they are.
