Can someone please explain this to me...

From the A.P. wire...

JUNEAU, Alaska - GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is effectively turning over questions about her record as Alaska's governor to John McCain's political campaign, part of an ambitious Republican strategy to limit any embarrassing disclosures and carefully shape her image for voters in the rest of the country.

Does it bother anyone else that the person who is running for the second highest office in our country is being shielded from the media? It only leaves me with the impression that her mouth can not be controlled...which makes me wonder about her abilities in diplomatic affairs. Being a "maverick" indicates that she can foster change (although I get the impression that her means of fostering change is strong arming the persons who don't agree with her)...not offending anyone she talks with.

It does more than bother me, it scares the hell out of me.

We need to reschedule our dinner!

I've said that exact thing many times now!

The only thing that bothers me about it more is that it doesn't bother many people in the least.
