McCain, for awhile, courted the press all the way through the republican primaries and well into 2008. McCain has never been intimidated by the press I will give him that, and even warmingly referred to them as his "base". I think the media was a contributor to McCain success in the primaries especially considering his dismal 4th place "fantastic night" finish in Iowa. That following Sunday guest starring on Meet the Press, was none other than John McCain, not Huckabee, not Romney nor Thompson who finished 1st, 2nd and 3rd respectively. Foot rubbing Chris Matthews of MSNBC had this to say about McCain in a 1/28 interview: "Senator McCain, you know you're in my heart." That about sums it up.

So, why is it taking the McCain campaign two weeks to message complicity into ABCs format of tomorrow's interview with Palin. I guess "tough questions" need time to simmer into interview tenderness. Perhaps it is as has been previously stated: she has to "sit down with McCain and get familiar with his strategy and policies before getting in front of the media". I dont think thats the case with Biden.
