Palin Won’t Speak To Media In Boise

Mike Tracy, the new campaign manager for Vaughn Ward, the Marine reservist campaigning for the Republican nomination for Idaho’s 1st Congressional District, told IdahoReporter.com that Republican superstar Sarah Palin will not take questions from media at any time during her visit to the state. ... Tracy said that Palin’s itinerary is too full to take time for reporters.  ”Unfortunately we don’t have time for that,” said Tracy.  Palin’s visit will feature three events: a photo opportunity, which costs $1,000 per person, a VIP reception with Palin, $250 a person, and a rally in the Qwest Arena, which costs those 18 and older $10 per person/Dustin Hurst, Idaho Reporter.

Question: Do you really think that Palin's agenda is too full? Or that Palin insists that she not speak to the media, as she did when she visited Coeur d'Alene in December?
