After all the whining by the children in the media that Sarah Palin has not talked to anyone in the media, the McCain/Palin campaign has announced that Sarah Palin will do a sit down with ABC's Charlie Gibson. He will have to travel to Alaska for the interview:
A McCain-Palin adviser says an interview was offered to ABC's Charlie Gibson several days ago and that they expect it to happen in the latter part of the week in Alaska. Palin is the governor of Alaska and is expected to return home at midweek after more joint appearances with McCain.
With all the hype from the press that she hasn't sat down with the press, they're going to lose their minds if she comes through with flying colors, and I bet she will.

Why should Sarah Palin give... (Below threshold)1. Posted by daniel rotter | September 7, 2008 9:22 PM | Score: -11 (11 votes cast)
Why should Sarah Palin give interviews to the media? It's not like she's running to Vice President of the United States or anyone.

They only started whining about this when, Friday evening?
Sheesh. The real world doesn't run on internet time. They ask "why hasn't she done ?????" and then ten minutes later go "she STILL hasn't done ?????" - and thirty minutes after THAT conclude "she must be frightened!"
Man, what idiots. They couldn't do the Democratic Party more harm if they tried.

Daniel: "Why should Sarah Palin give interviews to the media?"
I know! Why doesn't she just employ the "Courageous Obama"-Rule and simply refuse any tough interviews (ie Fox News) for 18 months?
I mean, that was a "COURAGEOUS" stand. Almost, ALMOST as courageous as Obama's heroic "thinking about joining the military" thoughts he had as a young man which he then "helpfully" omitted from his 2 (Yes, 2!) autobiographies.
Amazing Barack: so many accomplishments it took 2 autobiographies to capture them all.

Doesn't matter. Your opinion still smells bad.
And you left out another correction, by the way. "It's not like she's running FOR Vice President"
eh.... Still stinks.

I wasn't giving an "opinion", I was giving a sarcastic response to Priestap's post. There was no "opinion" in what I wrote.

Just to keep this in perspective...
This interview has been announced less than 72 hours after the end of the Republican National Convention.
Let me repeat that: 72 hours. HOURS.

C'mon, Clint. 72 hours is a long time to dodge the media. You're stepping on the meme.

So far, every Palin step I've seen makes lefty heads explode.
It's a trend I can live with.

Ok... how about he refused to do Fox interviews, as per his media matters/movon.asshat masters, and only consented to one as a sad ploy to pull attention from the RNC Thursday evening.
Happy now?

I'm not happy with the answer. Why did you single out Fox? Obama hasn't done a tough interview with ANY network. For the previous poster, there's no 'Derangement Syndrome' regarding Obama. The guy has been skating for 19 months, and people keep pretending he's had a tough ride along the way. He's starting to crack now, and it's fun to watch...

I figure that Gibson will try and pull something fast like who is the current head of the junata in Myanymar? He will ask, Why are you putting your daughter and family through this campaign? Don't you feel bad?
