Oprah Nixes Palin Interview

So, the Guardian reports that Oprah Winfrey has announced that she will not interview Sarah Palin on her show. She gives a perfectly acceptable reason, in my mind, i.e. that she doesn't want to interview any candidate on her show now that's she's publicly endorsed Obama for fear of charges of bias in her interviewing.

Honestly, the article's more about Troopergate. But it's interesting given that the Republican campaign team have put the kibosh on most interviews for Palin. Obviously, they'd make an exception to reach Oprah's massive, all-girl audience and capture what Sarah Haskins called the "P.A.N.T.H.E.R." constituency earlier this week.

NONE!! According to a Republican rep. Palin will not be doing interviews or answering anybodies questions. Period!! It seems that they just want you to vote for McCain/Palin on their word that Palin is a maverick and wants change. With all the history that has come out already about abuse of power and the savage activites she condones, I wonder what she is still hiding that we haven't found out yet. Why are the 6 colleges that she atteneded in three states in 5 years under a gag order? It is amazing how many people are blind to all of this and would be happy to flush this country down the toliet.
