Palin: Media Should Work to Find Her
Sarah Palin is going rogue again. Want to cover the potential Republican presidential candidate? Better bring your running shoes.
Unlike most carefully choreographed presidential campaigns that routinely release detailed candidate schedules, Palin's staff is keeping most of the national news media in the dark about her political action committee's bus tour this week.
The result is a chaotic game of cat and mouse, with the media frantically chasing the 2008 vice presidential candidate from one stop to the next.
When Palin made her final stop Monday in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, she told a pack of scrambling reporters to expect the unexpected if she runs for the White House.
"Oh, it would definitely be unconventional and untraditional. Yes. Knowing us, yeah, it would have to be," Palin said.
It's another maverick move for the former Alaska governor who has often had a tense relationship with what she often calls the "lame-stream media."Palin, a paid contributor for Fox News, told the network Monday that she is challenging reporters to keep up the pace."I don't think I owe anything to the mainstream media. I want them to have to do a little bit of work on a tour like this," she said.With few details about Palin's movements Monday, reporters raced to follow her up Interstate 95 from George Washington's home at Mount Vernon, Virginia, to Fort McHenry in Baltimore.
