This is now day 9 of the "lock Sarah Palin away and not allow anyone to ask her any questions" watch.  McCain campaign manager, Rick Davis, appeared on FOX News Sunday and elaborated on when, or if, Governor Palin would ever be available.

Rick Davis, campaign manager for Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., just told Fox News Channel's Chris Wallace that McCain running mate Gov. Sarah Palin won't subject herself to any tough questions from reporters "until the point in time when she'll be treated with respect and deference."

So when will she subject herself to questions?

"When we think it's time and when she feels comfortable doing it," Davis said, praising a Fox News Channel profile of Palin that ran last night.

Why is she scared of answering questions? Wallace asked.

"She's not scared to answer questions," Davis said, "but you know what? We run our campaign not the news media."  (Link)

Does anyone think this is going to work?  Or will this, for many folks, answer the question of Governor Palin's preparedness for the vice presidency?
