Is Palin cracking under pressure?

(1/4) > >>

Gruzinit:
After last week's interview with Katie Couric, I've begun to notice Palin has not fared well under media scrutiny (come on, Alaska and Russia?).

She's looks flustered, and not well spoken and it causes me even greater concern with the debates that are coming up, but then again Joe Biden minus a teleprompter is bound to offer some golden moments!

If I worked for the McCain campaign, I'd take Palin off a leash and have her campaign on a issue she knows well: Drilling. It's why she was chosen, so she should be taking the media head on and addressing it like there's no tommorrow.

2honest:
I saw an article at the Spiegel (in German) which also shows that interview. And I must admit that she was throwing around with lots of platitudes.

No surprise that the media is picking on her when Obama's whole campaign is a bunch of platitudes.

Sarah Palin's later interviews with Katie Couric were excellent. This is pure media bias and a leftwing double standard that is being applied to Palin.

Baltimore:
The way the media has twisted Palin's image is criminal! The attacks almost seem to be calculated and coordinated between CBS, ABC, and NBC.  In theory she will give a great debate presentation but the media will focus on one mistake, blow it out of proportion and then report on it constantly for th next 72 hours. Just sick.  If I were her I would focus on how she is just an everyday American and how she does not have millions in the stock market and she does not travel the world on luxury vacations. 

McCain had to pick her, do not believe what the media says. The reason the media is attacking her so much is because they fully know that she was the perfect pick and they have to work hard to bring her down. Romney would have been EASILY portrayed as an out of touch billionaire, Lieberman would have caused the conservative base to boycott, Pawlenty would have received a scaled down version of the attacks that Palin is receiving but he would bring much less to the table also.

If Palin was a liberal and Obama had selected her here is how the media would present her:
"Sarah Palin is the Governor of the largest state in the United States. She could end up the first female President of the USA.  She bravely guided her eldest daughter through an unplanned pregnancy. She represents a new generation of politicians from the western part of the USA (they would then ramble on how about great the west is and how liberal ideas from the west are taking over the usa and shaping the morality wars).

I have yet to hear how Alaska is the largest state in the USA. If she was a liberal you would hear it EVERY night.

P J C:
I'm a bit weary of Palin. I am not enjoying her appearances.
