Pretty amazing stuf

The Jed Report has this great bit that Howard Fineman said after the McCain speech last night. It seems that Palin is not going to be campaigning with McCain this week after all. Lets look in:

Howard Fineman reports a top McCain adviser tells him that Palin is going to be taking a "timeout" from the campaign trail through the middle of next week. According to Fineman, Palin will use the time to "begin the education of Sarah Palin." Apparently, the excuse will be that she needs to attend to personal business, including seeing her son off to Iraq.

Fineman says they want to make sure she understands John McCain's positions on issues and the issues she is going to need to deal with as a vice presidential candidate. Most notably, she won't be doing any substantial media interviews until she returns to the trail, which could be at least as late as next Wednesday.

Sounds like they have a serious problem if they are taking her completely off the reservation for the most important campaign week of the season. I doubt that they will find any solace from the media in AK though as there are already a huge number of investigative reporters in her hometown right this minute that would love to get a chance to bag her.
