Standing By Her Man

No one sees old school chauvinism in this?


So the Republicans won't allow Sarah Palin to answer any sustained questioning by herself.

She cannot be allowed to speak her mind. She obviously has no genuine opinions. No personal policy positions.

The main part of this that bugs me, is that as a citizen of a state not in the lower 48, how does Sarah Palin know what concerns non-Alaskan-Americans have? Does she not care about those voters and their issues and needs? It is such pure arrogance to act as if Sarah Palin already knows all she needs to know about the state of America. The McCain camp just wants us to trust that she's ready to go. She doesn't even need to visit most places or hear from voters. She's from small town Alaska, right? What else is there to know about America, right?

The lack of interest in what real voters want is sickening. Screw the media, Sarah. Take some tough questions from the voters.

Even Dan Quayle got a solo press conference right away after being selected, let alone nominated.

Verdict: the McCain campaign is undoubtedly afraid of what Palin might say.

Update at 410pm: After watching some of the event, it's clear she's been programmed to the max. A cheerleader all the way.. but man, both vocally and visually Palin just plain overpowers McCain in a massive sense. The crowd digs it, but I wonder how independents view that.
