Isn’t this the exact opposite of the campaign John McCain used to run? Forget talking to Sarah Palin. The media wasn’t allowed anywhere near her supporters in Clearwater because negative things had been written about her.
When reporters tried to leave the designated press area and head toward the bleachers where the crowd was seated, an escort would dart out of nowhere and confront him or her and say, “Can I help you?” and turn the person around.
