Two weeks after John McCain named Sarah Palin as his running mate, she is finally going solo with the media. She’ll spend the better part of today and Friday with ABC News anchor Charles Gibson.
Until now, Palin has not participated in news shows, press conferences or interviews. A team of media handlers has been preparing her for the Gibson interview.
Ducking questions does a disservice to voters. The public needs to hear from the rookie Alaska governor who, in a few months, could be a heartbeat away from a presidency held by a man in his 70s.
Here are 10 questions we’d like to see Gibson pose to Palin.
1. Why do you and McCain insist that you told Congress “no thanks” on the Bridge to Nowhere?
You’re on record supporting the project until it became an object of national derision.
Follow-up: If you really want credit for nixing the bridge, shouldn’t you return the $398 million the federal government gave your state to finance it?
2. Can you and McCain credibly denounce federal earmarks when you asked for $27 million worth as mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, and when your $750 million wish list as governor was by far the largest per-capita earmark request in the nation?
Follow up: Eliminating all earmarks would reduce next year’s projected deficit by only 4 percent. So what are your ideas for managing the costs of health care, retirement benefits and defense spending?
3. Are you fully cooperating with the Alaska Legislature’s attempt to learn whether you or someone in your family or staff improperly pressured the state’s former public safety commissioner to fire your former brother-in-law from his trooper job?
Follow up: What’s your explanation for the commissioner’s departure?
4. What are your reasons for questioning the overwhelming scientific consensus that climate change is caused by human activity?
Follow up: What evidence would cause you to change your mind?
5. How does allowing drilling in environmentally sensitive areas square with your claim of standing up to the oil companies?
Follow-up: Would you support overturning the Bush administration’s decision making polar bears an endangered species?
6. In your convention speech, you ridiculed Barack Obama’s views on terrorists, saying “he’s worried that someone won’t read them their rights.” Do you disagree with the U.S. Supreme Court that suspects should be able to challenge their confinement before a judge?
Follow up: Are you concerned that some people rounded up in the war on terrorism might not be legitimate suspects?
7. What was the Bush administration’s biggest mistake in its handling of the Iraq war?
Follow up: What exit strategy do you support?
8. You are on record as opposing all abortions except to save the life of the mother. As vice president, would you take an active role in the movement to outlaw abortion?
Follow up: What is your strategy for reducing unwanted pregnancies?
9. How independent are you from the Bush team when many of your advisers came from that camp?
Follow up: As vice president, who would you tap for advice?
10. If you make motherhood a centerpiece of your public biography, should you realistically expect your family to be off-limits to media coverage?
Follow up: Did you consider turning down McCain’s offer to protect the privacy of your family?

Edith, you are a gem
That is a witty barb against the blatant hypocrisy the McCain campaign is running. Thanks for the smiles. I hope that this time reason prevails over the smears and the deceit, but not everyone knows how to use teh google!
If they did, they would simply search for...
Obama McCain Taxes
and then they would be able to read about how...
Senator McCain is actually taxing the middle class more than Senator Obama!
Pretty amazing stuff, eh? Who knew?
If you ask any of these "Right Wing Rubes", they would tell you (no doubt in all uppercase) that Obama is going to raise *their* taxes when in reality (unless they're living in Mission Hills), they're going to see more money from an Obama administration.

*Yup! Right Wing Rubes! So you *were* paying attention! :-D
John McCain's Joke
Question 11. How do you feel about this joke that John McCain made about President Clinton's daughter, Chelsea?
Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly?
Because her father is Janet Reno.
"...McCain's two-liner conveys some interesting insights into what he considers humorous (lesbianism, a young woman's physical appearance), particularly since it was delivered to a Republican crowd. Remember, this is the party that champions pro-family values..."
http://www.salon.com/news/1998/06/25newsb.html
We heard McCain whining about Barack Obama. According to McCain, Obama said mean things about Sarah Palin. Obama *did* say some pretty mean things, but they were about McCain's claim that Republicans are the "real" change this election. McCain then deliberately misinterpreted what Obama said in order to score some political points.
Let's remember that in June 1998, during the first year of the Clinton Administration, John McCain chose to ridicule A TWELVE YEAR OLD GIRL in front of a crowd of laughing Republicans.
How can John McCain try to take the "high road" considering that (1) he also used the same phrase (lipstick on a pig) when discussing Hillary Clinton's healthcare proposals and (2) he has told such utterly offensive jokes about President Clinton's daughter who was ONLY twelve at the time?
Lame and lamer
That verges on insult: you're trying to distort the issue into longevity? The issue is the stress of office. The Presidency turns hair white and makes young men's faces old and grey. McCain handles stress very, very poorly. Moreover, McCain's been in the hospital four times for cancer surgery.
One shaky heartbeat away, folks, the esteemed mayor of Wasilla--it's OK, Karl Rove's crew says so.
kcpunky
The guy's run one of the more intensely issues-oriented campaigns out there, and that's precisely what the McCain campaign is attempting to derail.
Strongly disagree. What exactly is Obama's signature policy issue? Edwards was poverty, Clinton was health care, Obama, himself. That is the way I see it.
And this whole McCain is old and might die in officer is simply wrong. Jimmy Carter and George HW Bush are in their 80's, Ford and Reagan lived into their 90s--the health care of a sitting and former president is better than anyone in the world.
Yeah,
And you're a dimwitted, racist pig. OOPS! Did I say that out loud? I meant to say, "You're a respected voice of conservative thought." Sorry, I have good days and bad days.
Yeah,
Right, and Osama Yomama is a "community organizer".
Oh, I've kept up fine
You're the one with the admitted shinola problem. :-)
