Hey Scott,

I just watched the Couric / Palin interview, and...

C'mon man. Couric was trying to create a "gotcha", and Palin was avoiding it. What I think people are hearing isn't incompetence, it's that she isn't playing their game.

Question: "Which papers and magazines did you read prior to your nomination?"
Gotcha question. (What--you mean you didn't read our liberal rags? You only read non-liberal sources?)

Question: "If a father rapes his daughter, you are on record forbidding the daughter from an abortion?"
Gotcha question. (It's apparent.)

Question: "What about the morning after pill? Can the raped victim daughter take that?"
Gotcha question. (It's apparent.)

Couric's a blowhard. I've only watched 1 interview, but based on this one interview--Palin's just trying to not step into their traps.

P.S. You think the media has a bias? Let's take Jack Cafferty as a case study.

You'll get no argument from me about the atrocious bias of the media.

I guess the clip that got me the most was when Couric asked her to clarify her statements about how Alaska's proximity to Russia comprises her foreign policy experience. Look for it. It's painful.

Again, it's not changing my vote, but it may change that of others, and that's what concerns me.
