She can't talk with LarryKing or go on MTP because her schedule is very full

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

This week she has already committed to

"Caribou Stew" with Rachel Ray on the Food Network

and

"Decorating with Skins" on Design on a Dime HGTV

[Virginia Dare]

1. She also found time for an interview with "People" Magazine..n/t

[d_b]

2. this is so going to bite them in the ass

[Jim__]

3. The press doesn't like being ignored.

I hope they're getting really pissed.

[JaneQPublic]

4. I wonder how she'll squirm out of the VP debate (nt)

[billyoc]

5. Wedding plans.

[Richard Steele]

6. "Family issues".

:rofl:

[still_one]

7. If she does, Biden should still be there /nt

[City Lights]

15. She'll be wired and fed her answers just like george. nt

[norepubsin08]

19. Daughters

parental induced "miscarriage"

[MadHound]

8. This is the game plan

Keep her as far away from the press as possible, as far away from any appearance where she can't rely on a script or her handlers. They know that she would collapse badly in such forums, so she's only going to be trotted out in friendly venues where the entire event is scripted for her. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if there isn't some sort of "major crisis" that would prevent her from attending her only debate with Biden.

[LynneSin]

9. and keep her even farther away from Joe Biden

Nothing shows your inexperience than looking like a novice when it comes to debating. If she can't debate Joe Biden then how is she going to debate with heads of state around the world. Geez, Sarah Palin calls herself a 'feminist' and yet what shows does she do - shows about cooking & decorating.

:grr:

10. No offense, my friends, but don't misunderestimate this young lady.

This is every Republican's wet dream. The upper crust Rovians love her, because she captivates the Republican riff raff. Anyone who motivates their base, and she does, is very dangerous on election day. Treat her with the same kids gloves that Republicans use when slamming our female candidates. This election's too important to look back later and wish we'd been a little tougher on our opponents.

Don't ridicule her, just state fact after fact after fact. She was for the bridge before she was against it. Earmarks are a way of life in Alaska. She supported and worked for Stevens......there's way too much red meat ( oops) to chew on, don't mock.

BTW, just another illustration of why I don't want politicians making decisions involving my daughters and granddaughters reproductive systems. They can't take care of their own families, much less mine.

[Fluffdaddy]

11. predfan you get it. Some of the "elitist" here are going to be in for a rude

awaking. She will play very well in the fly-over states. LETS NOT UNDERESTIMATE HER

[bullwinkle428]

12. I live in Iowa, and can tell you people here aren't buying her shit!!

We're kind of a big deal, as far as swing states go...

[Fluffdaddy]

17. bullwinkle428 You are in the heart land. So you would know.

I hope you are right

[MadHound]

21. I live in one of those "flyover states"

And here in Missouri, the people I know in both parties aren't buying what she's selling. Even my most conservative redneck neighbors want to know if she has anything substantial to back up that fluff. Apparently she doesn't, and a lot of people here are fleeing the 'Pug ticket because of her. The fact that she is so inexperienced, and could very well be president at some point scares the living shit out of them.

Meanwhile, the Republican moderates are horrified. I was watching that speech last night, and as the cameras panned over the crowd, sure, the hoot and holler section was in full throat. But the moderates, the money people, they were very quiet. Not applauding, and not looking happy at all. Rather, they looked disgusted, horrified even that Caribou Barbie was on their ticket and potentially so close to the Oval Office. I'm thinking that we're going to have a lot of cross over votes from moderate and intelligent Republicans.

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

14. I think we can do both - ridicule and state fact after fact

The point I am making is that they will only put her in puffball formats where she will not be subject to any real scrutiny or have to think on her feet to justify her completely hypocritical stances. What she says and what she does are 2 different things.

I think we have to hit very hard that someone who is too much of a weenie to do the completely normal interviews and news/talk shows that EVERYBODY who has ever run for public office does; such a person cannot possibly be considered as qualified for VP. That is really the underlying point I am trying to make.

[Fluffdaddy]

18. I agree. "Our" friends in the media have to make a point of this if all she

does is puffball formats

[HeeBGBz]

13. You can run, but ya can't hide

Snarkist

[City Lights]

16. What a chicken shit!

Just like McCain't! Too :scared: to face the press but supposedly ready to chase our enemies to the gates of hell! :eyes:

Whatev, McCain't and Half-Baked. :rofl:

[Javaman]

20. it's called cramming for the final.

right now she's going to the repuke school of talking points.

she's sooooo not ready to fly alone and without teleprompters.

they still have to install her faux memory chip so she can go on and on about revisionist history of her less than stella career as mayor of a meth town and oil surrogate of alaska.

I'm waiting for the moment when the chip shorts out and she begins speaking in tongues.
