Geraldine Ferraro had a news conference the day after her announcement as Mondale’s VP. Even Dan Quayle faced the press when he was chosen. The McCain campaign needs to be called out. They are managing Sarah Palin like a first lady. As a woman, I think it’s sexist to “protect” the VP candidate from the American people. If Governor Palin can take a moose, she should be able to handle some live questions. John McCain announced his running mate on August 29. To be fair, this clock begins the day after - when most VP candidates stepped up to the plate.
