"My Muslim Faith" and Why Palin Isn't talking to the Press
Sarah Palin seems to be hiding from the political press. The above YouTube video provides some hint as to why.
Around 1 minute 20 seconds into the video Obama uses the phrase "My Muslim Faith." The interviewer then corrects Obama. Obama made a funny mistake that almost certainly won't do him a significant amount of harm. If, however, Palin had done something similar the traditional press would have used the mistake to endlessly discuss whether she is too stupid to be president.
Lots of people who hate Palin would love to use any gaffe of hers to define her as an idiot, so Palin's best strategy is to minimize the chance of her making a gaff which means minimizing her exposure to news journalists. If, however, Palin could expect the media to treat a gaffe of hers the way it treats Obama's gaffs then she would probably be far more willing to grant interviews.
