Pointing out that nothing that the left throws at Palin seems to work, Williams wrote:
“Palin has defined the debate. She has pushed Obama and Biden into the corner they built for themselves and in the course of doing that, she has given the left-wing press enough rope to hang themselves . . .”
In the U.K, the
Telegraph is claiming that Palin is being “heavily insulated” from the press because “all her stump speeches have been from a teleprompter whereas Mr McCain, Barack Obama and his running mate Joe Biden all speak extemporaneously."
Contrary to the Telegraph report, heavy reliance on the teleprompter has been a frequent charge leveled against Barack Obama and often cited as one of the reasons he has been so reluctant to participate in joint Town Hall type meetings so often suggested by John McCain.
The Telegraph quoted Joe Biden on NBC's Meet the Press.
"Eventually she is going to have to answer questions about her record."
According to
Mike Allen, Sarah Palin has agreed to an interview with Charles Gibson of ABC’s “World News Tonight.
