Palin not ready for interviews, but ready for the vice presidency?

Todd Harris, a GOP strategist who is close to the McCain campaign, says Palin won't be available to the press for about two weeks. His defense? She might make "a mistake."

"If she goes out and makes a mistake, that is something that [voters will] care about, and that's something that will haunt [McCain] for awhile, so I think this is a smart move."

This has got to be one of the craziest messaging decisions ever: Harris is conceding that Palin's not even ready to be a vice presidential candidate, let alone be president.

I just don't see how they can sustain two weeks of keeping Palin in hiding. Every day the McCain campaign keeps her away from reporters just highlights the fact that they don't think she's ready.

This strikes me as a pretty impressive strategic blunder.

New GOP Spin: Palin's Not Ready - The Jed Report

This Palin thing is getting more and more ridiculous every day, I guarantee she will end up being a net negative for McCain.

Vice President is bad enough, McCain will no doubt die probably ehhh.. any day now, and we will have a former beauty pageant queen and sportscaster as President.

I think this is the first time that I have ever agreed with you.

I think I saw a picture of her picking her nose, you should start a New Thread to discuss it.

SILLY POST ALERT!!!!!!

Quite to the contrary, my agenda'd friend.

ajblaise · 09-07-2008, 01:19 AM

She's is making the biggest political news right now, and for good reason, I'd get used to people talking about her.

There's something to be said for Thread Efficiency. That was my only point. You're pushing an agenda, I'm pushing efficiency and lack of noise.

If wanting to discuss the biggest Palin related news out there is an agenda, then that's fine.

I'm not sure which agenda you are pushing...the "leave her alone" agenda?

No. I'm suggesting that maybe the FIVE "Palin Sucks" threads should be merged.
