McCain's big running-mate rollout

Romney and Giuliani helped supply Wednesday night's "paranoid" conservative politics, while Sarah Palin showed she's no Dick Cheney.

    something mentioned last night

    I haven't heard any elaboration on this since last night, but it was mentioned in passing by I belive Keith Olberman on MSNBC last night. Ms. Palin is appearently now to disapear for a couple weeks of "candidate bootcamp".

    Meaning that she will not be on the sunday talk shows, or making the rounds during the week to capitalize on her "success" this evening.

    This may change given the response to her speech from the crowd, but might be a wise strategy.

    Like I said, I haven't been impressed by her presentation yet (it is better than John McCain's however) and there may be some real fear of her going off script, or worse yet not have an answer when a question wasn't prescreened when she is out of the controlled environs of the convention.

    So they may be giving Ms. Palin a sense of what the V.P. does all day in the coming weeks, locking her away some where and keeping her from saying anything until she is forced to speak at the debates.

    Anyone else hear anything about this boot camp? What it might entail, I don't recall Biden going to camp this week.
