Palin to do 30 fundraisers in the next 60 days.
Just heard this on the Randi Rhodes show.

I'm speechless.

1. 30 fundraisers and how many interviews?
so far, if my math is right, she is at a 30 : 0 on the fundraisers to interviews front :puke:

10. Eventually
True, but she will certainly begin to grant interviews eventually. No candidate has ever completely refused.

4. Fundraisers for what? McSame opted for public financing, so he and his VP...
cannot raise funds for their campaign.

16. Yeah, that's a great way for a VP candidate to spend her time.
If you want to lose the WH, that is.

28. Well, it's not like Junior appointed a full FEC panel just to exonerate McBush for
his sleight of hand on his primary public financing. Oh wait, he did. I don't know why I even consider the RNC and rules in the same sentence ...

Thanks for the info.

17. So who's taking care of poor little Twig while she's begging for money all over the country?
Are they going to let the youngest daughter rub spit on his head some more?

20. She can read her same speech over, and over, and over
again that way. She must not be very bright.

22. They are going to use the Bush strategy with her.
She will only be allowed to speak in front of handpicked, cheering loyal republicans, and she will not take any unscripted questions.

25. You're speechless. She's not. That's why the seclusion from reporters.
She's good for pumping up the base and, apparently, for pumping the base dry. But don't expect to see her in an honest give-and-take forum for at least a month. She's got to be trained to hide her ignorance about the issues a lot better once she starts deviating from the prepared scripts.

Obama's dollars has them scared.
