So Sarah Palin is going to sit down with Charles Gibson of ABC News on Thursday and Friday.
The interview will span two days. Gibson will have to be on his best behavior or else she might not show up for day two. This is a nice touch on the McCain's campaign part, as they can and will control the show.
And count on it, it will be a show
Here is an excellent blog on the Gibson interview

If you want to see the disgustingly sugarcoated questions Gibson asked McCain (ie, Did you ever think you'd be in this position while you were spending 5 1/2 years in the Hanoi?) here's a link:

Gibson has also bloged what he is going to focus on:
From Gibson's Blog:
It took some time in thinking about it, but I finally decided not to even bring up the issues with her family,for they are issues of family and should remain so. Once you know about her daughter's pregnancy, once you know about her husband's political interest in the Alaskan Independence Party, once you know about special nature of their latest child, I think that's enough.
The relevant questions about Governor Palin, the questions that go to her suitability to serve as vice president, all relate to her experience, or lack thereof, and her policy positions as a mayor and governor in Alaska. Once I decided to restrict the Palin questions to those areas, the interview kind of formed itself.
This is going to be a joke.

But this diary is also a call to action: Email Charles Gibson, be honest, tell him what you really need and want to know about Sarah Palin.
I asked him to please ask her about Charles Kopp. If we put enough pressure for real questions maybe we will get one.
