From TPM Reader BJ ...

On the RNC website they have a clock that shows the time: "Since Joe Biden's last gaffe". Perhaps the Democrats should put up a clock of their own, the time: "Since Sarah Palin last took questions from the media".

In all seriousness, I'm curious why the fact that the McCain campaign has been keeping Palin (the Vice Presidential nominee of their party) in virtual isolation isn't a larger part of the media narrative? To my knowledge she has made only two public appearances since the announcement, giving the same speech twice. Her scheduled appearance today (a speech sponsored by a Pro-life group) at the RNC was cancelled.

With only sixty days until the election, isn't it fair to ask the McCain campaign when Vice Presidential nominee of their party, and someone who's views we know little about, is going to be allowed to take questions from the media? Or do they feel that the American public doesn't deserve to know her views and that we should just vote for their ticket because they say she's a good person?
