McCain retracts Palin's Pakistan comments
This is from yesterday. Please ignore if it's been posted already.
From CNN's Emily Sherman
WASHINGTON (CNN)? Sen. John McCain retracted Sarah Palin's stance on Pakistan Sunday morning, after the Alaska governor appeared to back Sen. Barack Obama's support for unilateral strikes inside Pakistan against terrorists
"She would not?she understands and has stated repeatedly that we're not going to do anything except in America's national security interest," McCain told ABC's George Stephanopoulos of Palin. "In all due respect, people going around and? sticking a microphone while conversations are being held, and then all of a sudden that's?that's a person's position? This is a free country, but I don't think most Americans think that that's a definitve policy statement made by Governor Palin."
Saturday night, while on a stop for cheesesteaks in South Philadelphia, Palin was questioned by a Temple graduate student about whether the U.S. should cross the border from Afghanistan into Pakistan.
"If that's what we have to do stop the terrorists from coming any further in, absolutely, we should," Palin said.
During Friday night's presidential debate in Mississippi, Obama took a similar stance and condemned the Bush administration for failing to act on the possibility terrorists are in Pakistan.
"Nobody talked about attacking Pakistan," Obama said after McCain accused the Illinois senator of wanting to announce an invasion. "If the United States has al Qaeda, bin Laden, top-level lieutenants in our sights, and Pakistan is unable or unwilling to act, then we should take them out."
McCain emphasized Sunday, Palin "shares" his view on the matter.

So, a person's opinion isn't valid unless prefaced by "this is my definitive policy statement"?
Maybe she can take an additional page out of Biden's book, and, say, do some interviews. Just a thought.
And just like that Hannity, Couric and Gibson vanish into thin air. it's amazing!
Tell me again about Biden's meeting with the Georgian President.
I'm pretty sure Palin wishes the Couric and Gibson interviews would vanish into thin air, but no, you're right, she had met with exactly three reporters. If you think that's sufficient access, more power to you.
