There’s a sort of pity factor beginning to surface after the disasterous Couric interviews. After you see a week of train wrecks, the sympathy factor starts to set in. That said, it’s pretty embarrassing that she didn’t show up to offer her thoughts about the first Obama/McCain debate. It’s not like FOX News would have grilled her. All she had to do was say McCain won, blah, blah, blah. but hiding her and then defending her against unfair questions is McCain’s strategy so far.
It’s hardly unheard of for a vice presidential candidate to express views different from that of the presidential nominee. Joe Biden has already done so on occasion.
But in a later interview with Palin at his side, McCain claimed it was somehow “gotcha journalism” to have reported Palin’s response. Gotcha journalism, to report accurately a vice presidential nominee’s public response to a voter?
I bet that the VP debate gets higher ratings than the Ole Miss Presidential debate did…
All true, frankly. It's not sexist to assume she's going to be so inept that the McSame camp keeps changing the rules to make it easier on her or anything like that. The spin will be spun HARD: Gwen Ifill is black, in the tank for Obama, ergo the debate is null and void and Obama and the media vs Our Favorite Governor.
The debate itself does not matter. The spin from the debate matters. And it's going to be brutally pro-Palin.
