When will Sarah Palin do a Sunday Morning show?

Settled as Not by November 2

And she dodges the bullet...

Background:

Although it seems obvious that a Vice Presidential candidate would have to talk to the press, the McCain camp has been hinting that she will not be speaking with the media any time very soon. Saying that she "needs to spend time with the voters", they may send her back to Alaska to give her time to bone up on policy issues before being exposed to the full media maelstrom.

The Sunday morning talk shows are a common stomping ground for politicians and in fact Obama, Biden and McCain will all be on this weekend with Sarah Palin the notable exception. When will she make her Sunday morning debut?


Only these shows count for settlement:
Fox - Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace
CNN - Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer
NBC - Meet the Press with Tom Brokaw
ABC - This week with George Stephanopoulos
CBS - Face the Nation with Bob Schiffer


Settlement details: We can suspend on announcement, but should wait to settle until airing.

Must be one of the following shows:
Fox - Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace
CNN - Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer
NBC - Meet the Press with Tom Brokaw
ABC - This week with George Stephanopoulos
CBS - Face the Nation with Bob Schiffer

BTW, the VP debate is the 8th of October (thus my spike around it).. figure she'll be at her height of preparedness then... here's another article: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2008/09/sarah-palin-w-1.html

@jenni...good question. me being a right winger i think it will be foxnews sunday with chris wallace. now i gotta figure out the date :)

@all HD's..palin is taking some heat for going home instead of doing the "traidtional" things a VP canidate does. i think bucking the system only helps her. talk about change...how about a person who don't let the media/polls tell her what to do. she's still just a "canidate"..hasn't won the VP yet. if the dems think going home to be with her son/family is a bad thing, then be quite and let it hurt her in the election. i don't think it will, but i could be wrong. jmho on the matter.

I think it will be right before the debate...a warm-uo for her, since she's spending so much time ducking the press and avoiding talking, except for her canned speech that Karl Rove wrote for her and she delivers every time she's in a safe Republican place like Central Florida filled with midwestern retirees who vote with their....golfcarts.

and of course, it will be on Fox with Chris Wallace, where she's safe from scrutiny.
