It sounds like Sarah Palin’s handlers are not very confident in her. She gave them a real scare today when, for the first time, she answered a question from the press traveling with her:
Though she has been on the campaign trail for nearly three weeks, Palin has yet to hold a press conference, and this morning’s stop marked the first time she answered a question from the press on the fly, prompting concerned looks from staffers.
Palin also teased the press:
Told that her traveling press corps was getting lonely in the back of her campaign plane, Palin said, “Are you getting lonely? Gee, yeah, come on up then!”
We will see how often her handlers actually allow Palin anywhere near the press.
