The Tough Questions Reporters Asked Palin On The Plane
From CNN:
QUESTION: So how come you've dropped the attacks on Obama and Ayers lately?
QUESTION: Just to follow up on that, you said that, you know, 'Obama doesn't see America the way you and I see America.' Do you think Obama loves America as much as you do?
QUESTION: It's unusual for a Republican campaign to be campaigning in North Carolina and Indiana halfway through October in an election year, are you concerned you are spending resources in states and places you shouldn't be?
QUESTION: Governor, the Washington Post and Peggy Noonan both said independently today that you are unqualified to be commander in chief. How do you respond to that?
QUESTION: You talk a lot about voter fraud. How concerned are you guys about that and what can you do at this point when we're just 18 days out to kind of put any safeguards in place?
QUESTION: Did you ask John McCain to bring up Reverend Wright more, and if so what did he say?
FOLLOW-UP: Do you think he should?
QUESTION: How often during the day do you talk to Sen. McCain?
FOLLOW-UP: What do you talk about?
QUESTION: Are you excited for tomorrow night (SNL appearance)? Can you give us a preview?
QUESTION: Isn't Reverend Wright a lot more relevant than Bill Ayers? I mean, he sat in his pews for 20 years.
QUESTION: Last night at the fundraiser you made a comment about the area being a pro-America area of the country. I was wondering if you could explain that a little bit more, what you meant by pro-America?
QUESTION: Are you going back to Alaska to vote?

Cowardice is never pretty. What is even more remarkable is these reporters' acquiescense to their enclosure at Palin rallies. How does it happen that people who choose their profession so easily abandon its practice? I suspect that Palin's team got to weed out the reporters who would do their job. And, in an effort to see what the insiders are going to do in the future, is being allowed to keep traveling with Palin a badge of infamy among reporters?
