[Shhhh! I'm Listening to Reason!]

But none of the candidates in this race has been so shielded from the
media, so protected from any spontaneous situation, and Palin's
unvarying remarks give the impression that she and her message are
being tightly controlled. As before her convention speech, McCain's
campaign is briefing Palin for her first TV interview.

After a rally Tuesday in Lancaster, Pa., a group of supporters waiting
outside to shake hands with McCain and Palin screamed for her to jump
up on an outdoor platform, as McCain had just done, and speak to them.

"Speech! Speech!" they cried. She continued down the line, shaking
hands, and then hopped into an SUV.

It's beginning to look like the answer is "no". LoL.
