I get a sense that most voters and pundits are crawling out of their skins with anticipation for Sarah Palin to come out of whatever bunker the G.O.P. is hiding her in.
It’s not just the Democrats and media who want to start their feeding frenzy on the ex-beauty queen Vice Presidential candidate. The hard-core supporters are starting to bite their nails too.
It’s concerning to me because it sends the message that the McCain campaign has little faith in her ability to carry herself when faced with a media onslaught. To be an American President requires thick skin. Just ask Bush.
Palin is literally a heart-beat away from becoming President. That’s never been more true for a VP more than with McCain. (Let’s be realistic here. The man is 72 years old.)
There are two months left before the general election and two weeks before major debates begin. Come out, come out wherever you are, Missy.
While we’re waiting for her to come out and play, please enjoy this.
UPDATE:
Palin will sit down with ABC’s Charles Gibson this week for an interview. My only concern is this:
The interview is a coup for Gibson, who also had the only sit-down with McCain during the Republican National Convention. During that interview, he did not question McCain about Palin’s family, a decision that he fretted about for hours, Gibson said in a Web log posted last week.
Me thinks the McCain campaign has the situation on a VERY short leash.

Looking forward to it… gotta make sure and set the DVR or just watch Daily Show for out of context bad clips which are funny.
Loved the title of this post! Sarah Palin has been handed a terrible blow to her political aspirations, as thin and as "End of Times", "Joel's Armyesque", as they were. John McCain.
Some might say the http://nevada-rlc.org/2008-election/desperate-dem...target=”_blank”>desperate attacks on Palin are revealing. I dunno, but the term "blowback" does come readily to mind.

I think they are desperate attacks on Palin, but if she's not being allowed proper interview time, what else can the voters pay attention to but her personal life? I think it was a serious misstep by the McCain campaign to shield her from the public.
