She's been out there, she's been on T.V., I don't see any less of her than I do of Biden at this point. Since she's V.P. candidate and the election is mainly focused on the office of the President, I don't find it surprising that she doesn't get all the press McCain does. That's probably why you're not seeing as much.
Hi there,

I started out not being anti Palin, but something strange is pulling me in a negative direction. Oh, before going farther, let me please just tell you this is only my opinion. Don't for a second take anything I say as a slam or anything like that at all.......ok? We all think differently.....that's all it is.

Mr Biden has many many years of sound bites and a long legislative track record that helps define who he is. He's a well known entity, and you pretty much know what you're getting. Mr's Palin is basically a total unknown, and that's fine (or it should be anyway). The thing is, there really has been a lot less access granted when it comes to being ALLOWED to interview her. I totally believe that to be true.

You're right, you don't see a lot of Mr Biden on tv at the moment either, but it's not as important in his case. He does make the news occasionally, but I think Mrs Palin gets much more press than he does. One subject that comes up a lot is the inabilty to actually have an off the cuff or spontaneous discussion with her, and that's where my question comes in.

I'd like her supporters to comment on if that bothers em at all, and if not, then why wouldn't it. I have my doubts it can be done in a reasonable manner, but I'll still leave some room for changing my mind.
