Sarah Palin Skipping Sunday Morning Chat Shows

As is The Ticket's custom, a post listing the entire roster of appearances on this Sunday's interview programs will pop up Saturday at noon PDT (3 p.m. EDT).

But here's an advance heads up, in part because of who WON'T be found on any of the chat shows.

the republicans and their flunkies have successfully turned this election from the issues to a fashion show. wow, a 72 year old jet jockey and a harvard professor would seem like a no-brainer.

Hello from palinbycomparison.net

[Vyvjala]

Why hell,............... Safari Sarah is helping the McCains count their houses............ which obviously is no simple task...............

Biden needs to hit harder than he hit on MTP this morning.

It"s not about what you DON"T know about Palin, it"s about what you DO know. We know she:

1) supports earmarks that John McCain finds wasteful spending.
2) is extreme on abortion rights and wants to overturn Roe V. Wade.
3) doesn"t believe in science or global warming.
4) believes God should tell her how to govern, fight wars and write policies.
5) is against equal pay for women.
6) is pro-censorship and would ban certain books in libraries across the country.
7) has flip-flopped on guns and abstinence .
8) does not have any foreign policy credentials to speak of.
9) and her husband flirted with Alaska"s secession from the Union.
10) Finally, we know she's itching for a fight. Dems need to answer her wish.

Signed,

A faithful Democrat in Austin, TX

Please forward to everyone you know. There is just TOO much at stake in this election to let the Republicans make it about personality

[brwnizofmine]

Rick Davis said she would appear IF and WHEN they felt like putting her out. Now what does that say about that campaign?

[wayoutleft]

it says rick davis doesn't get pushed around by network news producers.

[Dem-Engineer]

It's no wonder they are hiding her. Here's what Alaskans are saying about her.

When she heard that Obama had beaten Hillary for the nomination, her comment was "So Sambo beat the bitch!" her true racist nature is revealed. Olbermann should be all over this.

[Scytherius]

So the Republicans nominated a coward for VP. How utterly awesome.

A noun, a verb, POW, mavericks!

Moose droppings!

The "opportunity to ask questions of her directly" will not be forthcoming on a public venue. She will appear at pep rallies with McCain and alone but, she's not going to appear on Sunday morning network shows.

The same response was broadcast on all shows this morning by representatives of McCain/Palin. They let America know this morning that Sarah is going to remain an Unkown Unknown.

Here's a question I'd like to ask McCain; Of all the qualified people in America, why would you select an individual to run alongside you for the Executive office of America with an individual who is under an ongoing Ethics investigation ? Regardless if the person is innocent or guilty, the fact that an ongoing investigation will culminate prior to election day leaves you with a 50/50 chance of complete failure.

Why risk the future of America on a 50/50 risky option?

If Sarah Palin can't face the American press what would she do if she suddenly had to meet Putin? What would the response be? "Sorry she's not up to speed yet." Palin versus Putin would be a joke.

The only people who are impressed with Palin as a hockey mom, moose hunter, pit bull with lipstick are Republicans.

Better to keep your trap shut and let people wonder if you are smart, than to open it up and remove all doubt. Good work Sarah. 50+ more days to go. Keep holding your breath. It won't be long. Cheney's secret bunker is being renovated for your occupancy.

[Tropiholic]

why is princess sarah immune from taking hard questions from the press and why aren't they DEMANDING it?

[IntExec]

If she is ready, then where is she? If she knows foreign affairs, why is she studying? I fully believe that in the PTA, as a mayor, and as an 18 month governor she is ready ... so let her out. What are you afraid of?

[londongal]

She's skipping the circuit because she has NOTHING. Zip, nada, nil, zero.

Ask her any questions about the differences between Sunni and Shia, the history of the region, the Russian/Georgian conflict, Pakistan, Afghanistan, etc. and you'll get republican talking points -- no indepth knowledge.

This is a bloody joke.

[alfrede]

Hi,

It appears that Governor Palin is not ready to appear on the Sunday talk shows or any talk shows where she would have to answer questions without a script.

It will be interesting to see how she performs in debate with Senator Biden.

P.S. - to be fair to Palin...my wife only had two kids instead of 4 or 5. And (knowing things can happen) she taught my daughter about birth control. So my daughter is an English major at the University of Georgia instead of being barefoot and pregnant.
