This will be a short one. Not so much a diary but a proposal.
It's been a week since Palin was named as McCain's running mate. It is almost absurd but, while being totally unknown to most at the national political scene, Palin spent this week in hiding. She refused to participate in any event without a teleprompter. She held not a single press conference, she faced not a single serious political journalist.
Yet, she is running for VP, one heartbeat away from the presidency.
Yet, she whines about the "liberal" media which does the vetting which her boss did not.
Why not appear before media to dispell all doubt, to answer all questions, share your vision for the country?
Why she is in deep hiding?
Isn't it weird that McCain hides his strange, unknown VP pick while unleashing bashing at the media for raising the question to which Palin is not available to respond?
Does McCain think that it is not important for the country to hear Palin's responses to very basic questions?
What is Palin doing in that St. Paul hotel's presidential suite? We know she is being taught very basics of internal and foreign policies, shown where Afganistan and Iraq are located on the map etc.
I'd say it is time to put pressure on Palin & her bosses.
Start the clock!
Six days from the announcement and counting...
