No Interviews Till She's Ready
A senior McCain campaign official advises that, despite the gaggle of requests and pressure from the media, Gov. Sarah Palin won't submit to a formal interview anytime soon. She may take some questions from local news entities in Alaska, but until she's ready -- and until she's comfortable -- which might not be for a long while -- the media will have to wait. The campaign believes it can effectively deal with the media's complaints, and their on-the-record response to all this will be: "Sarah Palin needs to spend time with the voters."

Not out of the question are appearances on lighter, fluffier television shows. But -- not for a while.

4. How you much you wanna bet her first interview is with Fox News?
And every question is a preplanned softball?

5. And when they do happen
expect those appearances to be tightly scripted. Anything requiring real thought about confronting the tough issues of the day will not be taken kindly. There will be no confusing her with a real intellectual.

6. What a load of crap. If she's not even ready to answer question from the media
how are we supposed to believe that she's ready to assume the role of VP, or God forbid, President.

Would she demand special Sarah Palin training wheels once in office as well?

Vetted, my ass.
