After a week of avoiding the media, it looks like Republican Vice-Presidential nominee Sarah Palin will be interviewed by ABC’s Charlie Gibson this week:
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the Republican vice presidential nominee, has agreed to her first interview since last month, with ABC News anchor Charles Gibson later this week, the network and Sen. John McCain’s campaign said yesterday.
Palin’s relations with the news media have gotten off to a rocky start. McCain campaign officials have complained about what they regard as the intrusively personal nature of some reporters’ inquiries, and Palin mocked “all those reporters and commentators” Wednesday in her speech to the Republican National Convention.
Since being named McCain’s running mate, Palin has given only one interview, to People magazine, on the day she was introduced.
She was the only member of the major parties’ presidential tickets not to appear on a network talk show yesterday. Rick Davis, McCain’s campaign manager, said on “Fox News Sunday” that she would not put herself before a “cycle of piranhas called the news media” until reporters started to treat her “with some level of respect and deference.”
Based on her convention speech, I’m guessing that those of you hoping for a train wreck will be sadly disappointed.

It WAS a trainwreck…she is showing her ignorance.
Sarah Palin is wrong for this country.
She walks all over her staff and her constituents and she’ll walk all over YOU. She does not care about YOU and she does not care about making this country safe and prosperous.
She will follow Israel into Iran, go to war with Russia (!) and will sacrifice our troops, spend our remaining dollars and throw away what little respect we have left in this world.
