Subject: GOP Candidates refuse to be interviewed

Paul (R-KY) has taken to demanding reporters submit questions in writing. He's keeping to Fox News and other friendly media outlets. Asked about Medicare reimbursement rates at a local event recently, Paul told a reporter to submit the questions "and we'll look at them." He said his goal was to campaign around Kentucky. The baffled reporter rebutted: "So you're not going to answer any questions in person?"
I'm guessing they're trying to avoid having more Palin like stupidity on display for the Dems to use in their election ads.

Can you really blame them. It is really hard for them to talk when their foot is in their mouths. They can TRY to deny that they said something-it really is hard when there is a copy of them saying it on YouTube for all the world to see.

The way the media acts, I would too. Paul, Angle, etc. need to just stick to local media in Kentucky, Nevada, etc. They have nothing to gain from the national media.
The viable democrats never have to "dodge" the press because the press never asks them anything important. Has Jack Conway been asked squat since May 18th?

Greene has been hanging up the phone on reporters recently. Notice how that has been inauspiciously omitted from this.

They are staying away from all media, local and national.

Her name always sounds like "share an angle." Like the angle Lee Harvey Oswald shared!
Look, people like this are really, really nutty, and I get concerned, as does Ms. Maddow who needs to be much more careful than I in the words she chooses!
