Last year Sharon Angle effectively refused to talk to anyone who wasn't on her approved media list, and nearly won. The catch, of course, is that was a state race versus a national one. Palin tried it after the Couric disaster, and it's impossible to determine what factor it played. That being said, may I remind everyone of two points: 1. We are still 498 days away from the US general elections. 2. IIRC, at this time in 2007, everyone thought we'd have a Rudy Giuliani/Hilary Clinton matchup. -- TV or Not TV ....
