She’s growing bolder:

Sarah Palin took questions from her traveling press corps Thursday for the first time since being tapped as John McCain’s running mate.

Speaking to a small pool of reporters following a visit to Ground Zero in lower Manhattan, Palin made a statement and then answered four questions, addressing the war on terror, the re-election bids of Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens and Rep. Don Young, and the bailout legislation currently in front of Congress.

Word is, she’s still short on specifics. Clickthrough for the transcript.

Perhaps the press will ask Barack a few questions. I don’t think Katie Couric mentioned this:

Did she finish with, ""Come on guys; I answered like four questions. We're running late.”

You don't build your guy up by tearing your opponent down.

4 questions is plenty for me. I'm voting for Palin!

jwest is pretty quick to try to change the subject? Worried that McCain has finally lost the last of his marbles?

A: I agree with the Bush administration that we take the fight to them. We never again let them come onto our soil and try to destroy not only our democracy, but communities like the community of New York. Never again. So yes, I do agree with taking the fight to the terrorists and stopping them over there.

It never seems to matter to these rightwingers that New Yorkers don't agree with their policies.

I'd bet that if Palin had been doing this for the last three weeks, she'd probably be pretty good at it by now.

And maybe able to laugh off her beginner's gaffes in such a way that they'd disappear as an issue?

I suppose it's hard to say. But it's hard to believe that would have been worse.

I hope she keeps talking to the press. This is awesome.
