Why Is Palin Afraid To Have Reporters Around?

Why is Palin refusing to let reporters in to her meeting with foreign leaders? Is she really afraid she will perform all that badly?

    Great question! I think it is the GOP not Palin herself [she seems to be fearless] They are afraid her extreme views will frighten voters.

    Palin is an image. She is being used as a figurehead to rouse a certain group of voters-the vocal, extremist religious conservatives. The campaign does not want the real Palin seen because it might damage the image they are trying to create, and it might convince people that just because she is supposedly a religious zealot, she honestly does not have what it takes to be a VP or, God forbid, President. Keeping distance keeps the illusion.

    Like Hillary Clinton, the media is out to crucify her. I am a Clinto supporter voting for McCain/Palin.

    I don't trust Obama nor do I feel he has the experience to lead this nation during one of the worse times in our history. He's reached his popularity due to the support and power of Queen Oprah.

    Because it would unmistakably demonstrate that as far as foreign policy is concerned, Palin does not know shlt from shlnola!

    They don't want you to see what she's really doing and how successful she is and especially they don't want you to see should anyone disapprove of her.

    What I find funny is how she's always WINKING at everybody.

    Where's all the body language experts here??

    To me that implies she's sharing some kind of secret with whomever she is winking at, and she does it a LOT.

    I find that off-putting frankly.

    I would do the same considering the media has distorted everything...

    Obama hid from Foxnews for a long time...
