Free Sarah Palin!

"Free Sarah Palin!" said William Kristol on Fox News Sunday a couple of weeks ago. And so the McCain campaign has. After relenting on his plan to bump the VP debate by forcing the first presidential debate to happen that night, they saw that Palin was capable of looking competent, as long as she wasn't required to answer, you know, questions. So they're letting her do interviews again.

FOX News Channel (FNC) will present a joint interview with Senator John McCain and Governor Sarah Palin on Hannity & Colmes on Wednesday, October 8th at 9 PM/ET.

In addition, FNC will present an interview with Governor Sarah Palin on On the Record with Greta Van Susteren on Wednesday, October 8th at 10 PM/ET.

In their interview together on Hannity & Colmes Senator McCain and Governor Palin will provide reactions to Tuesday’s presidential debate. In addition, McCain and Palin will discuss their campaign strategy moving forward.

Following the joint interview, Governor Palin will speak On the Record with Greta Van Susteren about her running mate, her family and her potential future as vice president of the United States.

It should be interesting... McCain in the same room as Hannity? Hannity HATES McCain! But he looooooooooves Sarah Palin. Heck, we all do, you betcha.

Right-wing logic - a candidate who appears on every network but Fox is afraid; a candidate who only appears on Fox is simply being sensible. And this will pay off on election day, when a portion of the basic cable network's viewership is practically guaranteed to vote for McCain. Except the base.
