Obama answers questions from a group of reporters. Will McCain and Palin ever do that? Ever?

Jed has video of Obama answering questions from reporters.



Joe Biden did a round of talk shows this morning. The Democratic ticket has been answering questions about issues. That's something the Republicans are avoiding at all cost.

So, here's the question: How much longer will the McCain campaign keep McCain and Palin from talking to the media. And, by media, I don't mean FOX or Rush or any of the other GOP owned and operated outlets. McCain has been avoiding his old friends in the press (and he's mad at them) -- and they're not letting reporters anywhere near Palin. This weekend, you will see Obama, Biden and even McCain on Sunday shows. But, no Palin.

Because now the McCain campaign is being mean to the press, the political reporters and pundits will dutifully back down as they always do. They all miss the old days riding around on the bus with McCain, eating at his barbeques, bringing him his favorite donuts (come on, Liz Sidoti, you know you miss it).

I'm betting we will NEVER see video of Sarah Palin spontaneously answering questions like Obama did today. Anyone want to bet?
