I just posted this over in Current Events:

Zogby Poll 09/05-09/06 2312 50-46 McCain +4

Gallup Tracking 09/04-09/06 2765 RV 48-45 McCain +3
Rasmussen Tracking 09/04-09/06 3000 LV 48-48 Tie

I think that the national mass media will put their efforts to hurt Palin into overdrive.

Here's elitism for you: There is a Facebook group called Intelligent Women Against Sarah Palin.

I have a slogan for the Republican VP candidate:

Vote for Sarah: The other candidates Palin comparison.

Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin has agreed to sit down with ABC's Charles Gibson later this week for her first television interview since John McCain chose her as his running mate more than a week ago.

Palin will sit down for multiple interviews with Gibson in Alaska over two days, most likely Thursday and Friday, said McCain adviser Mark Salter.

The interview with Palin was confirmed Friday, ABC News spokesman Jeffrey Schneider said.

The first-term Alaska governor has given speeches alongside McCain since becoming his surprise pick on Aug. 29. But Democrats have already begun to question why Palin has not been put before reporters to answer questions.

McCain, who appeared on CBS' "Face the Nation" Sunday, said he expected Palin to start doing interviews "in the next few days."

McCain campaign manager Rick Davis complained that the media has focused too much on 44-year-old Palin's personal life. Many of those stories came after McCain's campaign announced that Palin's unwed 17-year-old daughter was pregnant. News reports also have questioned her record as a reformer in Alaska.

"She's not scared to answer questions," Davis said on "Fox News Sunday." "But you know what? We run our campaign, not the news media. And we'll do things on our timetable."

The interview is a coup for Gibson, who also had the only sit-down with McCain during the Republican National Convention. During that interview, he did not question McCain about Palin's family, a decision that he fretted about for hours, Gibson said in a Web log posted last week.

"Once you know about her daughter's pregnancy, once you know about her husband's political interest in the Alaska Independent Party, once you know about the special nature of their latest child, I think that's enough," Gibson wrote.

The relevant questions about Palin all related to her experience and policy positions as a mayor and governor of Alaska.

I suspect that the distribution of voters along party lines follows a normal curve, with about twenty to thirty percent of the voters clustering near the midpoint between the parties. The ideological distance for these people to cross over is relatively small, and the electoral movement of these people determines whether we have a Bush-Gore nail biter or a Reagan landside. Unlike the folks at the outer edges of the curve who lob ideological bombs at their opponents, the mushy middle focuses on important issues, problems, and general expectations.

Lately, we’ve witnessed the development of a large discontinuity that swallowed up the mushy middle, a phenomenon that my son dubbed “y-axis insanity”. During the Lacrosse case, these folks remained unusually quiet, letting the outrageous behavior of the three sigma deviates take control. The hoax continued unabated until the centrist special prosecutor took control.

We’re currently witnessing the same phenomenon in the Sarah Palin situation. Up to this point, the Republican VP nominee has not sat down with the national press to discuss substantial issues. Until she does, the press will continue to focus on meaningless attacks from the partisan fringes. Once she starts talking about real issues, the press can start reporting real news. Campaign stump speeches simply do not provide the necessary stimulus to engage the one sigma folks. I, for one, am looking forward to her ABC news interview later this week, and hopefully more to follow. Right now, I can’t picture either Palin or Obama as president, which of course leaves the door wide open for John McCain. I’m sure each of them has the God-given ability to grow into the job, but this coming January – I don’t think so. Fortunately for VP Palin, she’ll most likely have the luxury of time.

My take on this interview is that Gibson could become the hero of MainStream America if this indeed turns out to be an interview and not an agenda.

Biden says he looks forward to debate with Palin

Democrat Joe Biden says he's debated "an awful lot of tough, smart women" throughout his career and that next month's vice presidential debate with Republican Sarah Palin will be no exception. But he'd like to know where she stands on issues.
"She's a smart, tough politician, so I think she's going to be very formidable," Biden told NBC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday.
The Democratic senator from Delaware and the Republican governor of Alaska are scheduled to debate Oct. 2 at Washington University in St. Louis.
Biden, serving his sixth term in Congress, said "there's a lot of very tough, smart women in the United States Senate I debate every day." So going up against the first-term governor, he said: "It's not new." He also mentioned his wife, Jill, who has a Ph.D.
Asked whether he'd debate Palin differently than he would Republicans Mitt Romney or Tom Ridge, two former governors who figured into speculation about John McCain's running mate, Biden said the only difference is that he knows their positions on issues.
"I have no idea what her policies are. I assume they're the same as John's. I just don't know," he said of Palin.
Biden said she delivered a great speech to the Republican National Convention last week in St. Paul, Minn., but "her silence on the issues was deafening.
"She didn't mention a word about health care, a word about the environment, a word about the middle class. They never parted her lips ... so I don't know where she is on those things."

"If Democrats believed what they say -- that Gov. Palin is such a poor choice that John McCain might as well fold his tent and go home -- they should be condescendingly patting the little lady on the head right now, saying, "Oh, how cute."

So how are we to explain the way the Democratic Party is now going after Sarah Palin and her perfectly lovely pregnant daughter, for all the world like the frenzied final holdouts on some Japanese-occupied Pacific atoll, shrieking "Banzai!" as they level their bayonets and charge the machine guns in their loincloths?

I've already lost count of the ways the ululating harridans have attacked this anti-corruption reformer. She can't be president because she lives too far from Washington. Because she bore a child with Down syndrome instead of aborting him. Because a woman with young children shouldn't put them through the strain of a campaign for high office. (Is the Democratic position now that only sterile old men should be president, or does that one apply only to women?)

Her husband wants Alaska's federal land turned over to the state (oh, the horror!) and had a DUI some decades back, before they were even married. (I don't believe the Democrats actually used the phrase "drunken Indian," any more than they specifically said a woman still of child-bearing age can't be president because she might be irritable during "that time of the month," though they sure went right up to the line. My, how thin is their veneer of political correctness?)

Why the desperation?

Because Vice President Sarah Palin would mean Americans could actually end up electing a woman president without tapping a manipulative, soulless, stay-married-just-to-stay-in-power socialist.

How dare the Republicans threaten to do that? Only the "progressive" party is supposed to be allowed to put the first articulate woman in line for the White House! Why, it's just like when the Republicans dared to put a conservative black man on the Supreme Court. It's so wrong!"
