I posted this item this AM and I am going to suggest again that a petition should be set up to ask the press to ban coverage of Palin until she gives more than one unscripted press conference.

If she cannot meet this totally reasonable expectation of the people for a VP candidate, then she is in NO WAY prepared to be VP. Unscripted press conferences are an everyday event for Joe Biden. Go Joe!!!!

If McC and Palin can commit censorship of the press in a democracy, then the people can demand a censorship of the candidate not willing to discuss issues of the people until she answers up, unscripted, in front of the free press.

Ban her media. Stand by your fellow press core members because you may be the next one censored.

Most people who have kids that use this form of temper tantrum just ignore the kid. The truth is, as soon as they pass out, they automatically and involuntarily take a breath.
