Answering questions on the spot, tests your ability of quick sound judgment, and helps identify her positions on certain topics. So why does she repel herself away?
It has always been common, for candidates to answer questions at speech's, either from the audience or the media. Palin has shyed away from this, each and every time she is asked questions. This leads me to believe, that she might be nothing more than a pretty scripted face for the McCain campaign.
Before I get started, I will state that her qualifications are not whats lacking, but her ability to react under pressure just might be. Just think, why else would she refuse questions? Is she afraid that is she stems out from a written speech, that it might uncover that she really doesn't know as much as people think she does? Sure, it sounds all great up on stage, but we all know they have people write those speeches to tailor to voters in some sort.
Time and time again, she has questions throw at her, but she floats by like some prosecuted celebrity that don't want the media attention. It's time for her to step out of the cover that is the "Alaska Reformer" and into the limelight that is the " what can you really contribute to the entire U.S. Now, we all have seen many candidates put their foot in their mouth. Joe Biden for one. This could possibly be a huge reason for it, seeing as if she drops the ball, there might not be enough time to recover and or bandage it before Nov. McCain, could have asked her to sway away from the on the spot questions, in an effort to ride out her current hot streak across the United States. That still does not mean she should not field some questions. It is her job to answer to the public, not about personal life, but on her stance. Without doing so, one would think that basing her off of just speech's, and not that of the public interest would very much hurt her in the long run.

I think the McCain campaign has made a correct decision strategically to limit Palin's exposure until she is snapped in on the issues and especially McCains position. Also it cannot be overlooked that the current media is a morass of gotcha types who are already in the tank for Obama. She has done an interview with Charlie Gibson and will be questioned by Katie Couric. After the debate with Biden I think most questions will have been answered.
By the way, congrats on the new site. I'll be checking it out once it's up and running.
