At gop.com our opponents have a clock which they say tracks the time since Joe Biden's last gaffe. They restarted it yesterday, when Senator Biden did make a slip of the tongue (maybe intentionally). He was complimenting Sarah Palin's speech. He called her the Lt. Gov. of Alaska. The GOP is correct. She was never Lt. Gov. She lost that election.
I guess that is the danger with talking to the press. You might have a slip of the tongue when you talk about unfamiliar subjects, such as an obscure politician. To guard against this, the GOP is keeping Sarah Palin from sitting down and talking to any and all national news sources. I know she took a question earlier today from a reporter from her home state, but that was a question regarding Alaska. If the GOP truly believes that she is up for the job of Vice-President, they should let her answer questions regarding national interests.
I think Daily Kos needs to take a trick from the opposition's playbook. Kos, let's get a clock that tracks the time since Sarah Palin last took unscripted questions from a national news source. I've been lurking since the last election, but I'm ready to take action and so are the Young Democrats at the college where I teach. Their time is running out.
