    Seriously, is this going to be like Dan Quayle, where they kept him under wraps for the entire general election? I mean, she was a sportscaster - she should have no problem answering questions.

    *** Waiting for the interview: There are now about 60 days until Election Day and just three weeks until the debates. And who knows whether we'll get the first Sarah Palin serious issue interview before then. This morning on JOE, McCain manager Rick Davis wouldn't commit to putting her out to media interviews unless they saw it as helping their campaign. This Sunday is interesting in that three of the four principles are doing sunday shows, the lone holdout: Palin.

    They are probably busy educating her on issues that are important to our country and not just the small populist state of Alaska.

    Exactly, there is a lot of information to learn about because she has never had to deal with international, military, nationwide economics, nationwide healthcare, etc. questions. She seems like a smart gal so I'm pretty sure the cliff notes from Karl Rove will help. It's just a lot remembering.

    When Oprah remembers she was a woman before she was a kooky cult leader... That might've expedited things a bit.

    It'd be foolish to let her interview now. I don't have a problem with it. Given who they picked, it probably would have made sense to do it earlier so she's not green at crunch time.

    Oprah doesn't interview people, she jacks them off. I'm fairly certain we won't get a serious interview out of Palin ever.

    Which is part of the concern. Once she is interviewed, will the opinions she gives on these issues be her own or will they be the ones she's told to give? Is she being educated and being allowed to come to her own conclusions or is she going be told what to say in order to win the most voters? Unlike McCain or Obama or Biden, she hasn't had to formulate ideas on these things before and we can't go back and fact check what she going to say against things she's said in the past because she's probably never gone on the record commenting about them.

    I'm not saying her answers regarding this issues won't necessarily reflect her own opinions but I'm sure her coaches are working on what they feel will be the best way to stay within the Republican philosophy while attempting to appeal to independents and undecideds.

    even they must admit she's more inexperienced than anybody, given the way they have trapped her inside a little box and i mean that literally.

    let's see if in 2 weeks, she'll be able to defend herself. if she doesn't answer question until election day and mccain wins, america is in trouble.

    Maybe Jerry Springer will take her. I'm sure she can find one of those shows to take her.

    She can have her daughter and her boyfriend on, too. That would probably boost the ratings.

    Of course she(Palin) was a women before she was a cooky cult leader. Even in Alaska they teach basic biology, right with the earth being made in 7 days.;)

    If Palin isn't ready for an interview, how the hell is she ready for the presidency?

    It only takes 60 days to be ready to fill in a the leader of the free world. They have a Rosetta stone program for that now. You just put on the head phones and memorize the talking points ... like George and Condi do.

    Ugh. You guys are so sexist. She was interviewed on the day she was picked by People Magazine.
