New GOP Spin: Palin's Not Ready

Todd Harris, a GOP strategist who is close to the McCain campaign, says Palin won't be available to the press for about two weeks. His defense? She might make "a mistake."

"If she goes out and makes a mistake, that is something that [voters will] care about, and that's something that will haunt [McCain] for awhile, so I think this is a smart move."

This has got to be one of the craziest messaging decisions ever: Harris is conceding that Palin's not even ready to be a vice presidential candidate, let alone be president.

I just don't see how they can sustain two weeks of keeping Palin in hiding. Every day the McCain campaign keeps her away from reporters just highlights the fact that they don't think she's ready.

This strikes me as a pretty impressive strategic blunder.

Sounds like a terrible idea to me. Despite the first impression of her, everyone is going to be given the impression by her own party that she's not capable of doing the job.

Oh, but the liberal media wants nothing more than to tear her apart. Let's give the little lady some time to study up. She can take some additional community college courses, actually learn about what the VP does and catch up on this whole Iraq war thing.

Is it standard then to block press access to a potential VP?

She may be the first VP canidate that the press actually gave a shit about.

especially more than the president, McCain upstaged himself and he is regretting it now.

What?

How is this "liberals grasping at straws" when no liberal is even saying anything?

I'd say posts like these demonstrate the need for someone to be trained to deal with the press.

Normal people aren't used to having everything they say spun every which way. People who want them to fail are like vulchers to words.

Remember Michelle Obama saying she was proud to be an american for the first time in her life. A perfect example of words being blown out of proportion.

One thing's for sure, nobody can really complain about experience anymore if things stand as they are now through the election.

That's the primary reason I think McCain made a blue.

Not that the dems have done paticularly well in the past week, mind.
