wherespalin

here is a new game... where's palin? as one who peruses the news every day looking for items of political interest, i find it interesting that sarah palin has recently become invisible. after a few weeks of photo-ops and one (ONE) seriously edited interview, she has dropped off the radar. a side note in today's NY Times tells us why. the press, CNN included apparently, are so sick of only being allowed the most superficial of access to palin that they have pulled their coverage. (i confess. i did not check in with fox news or limbaugh. i am sure that they are still running full coverage of every bat of her beaded lashes. ) very little in this campaign has made me laugh out loud, but the thought that the mccain campaign has so committed themselves to this political pig in a poke (ooo, there's that pig reference again!) that they are going to have to spend the rest of the campaign hiding her from the press while simultaneously convincing the american public that she is "ready on day one" tickled the daylights out of me! considering mr. mccain's unsteady health, it is entirely possible that a palin vice-presidency could become a palin presidency. and they can't even let her do an unscripted interview! okay, so maybe that should have scared the daylights out of me... but i refuse to believe that my fellow americans are stupid or racist enough to elect a man who believes that "the fundamentals of our economy are strong," or a woman who can't be trusted with the national press corps!
call me naive.
just don't forget to vote.
