Do people have any memory at all?
Just a year ago – and well into his campaign – Barack Obama was avoiding unscripted events like the plague. Back then the press was complaining about lack of access. Well, they have forgiven him.
Sarah Palin doesn´t have 18 months to learn all the talking points. Not this time. Unlike Obama, she could also not get away with frequent gaffes while the press covers for her. Unlike Obama, she will not be allowed to come down on every side of every issue until her true positions on everything from abortion to energy are completely blurred. But she is already a better speaker than Obama was earlier this year. Just you wait.
