This is the person you wanted to be vice-president and who is likely trying to set up a run for prez and she doesn't have the wherewithal to stand up to a cameraman knowing that everything she does is scrutinised or is too dumb to realize what is going on behind her? Do you really want your president to have either of those characteristics?

John McCain didn't want video of him having trouble walking shot while he was on the campaign trail and for the most part his wishes were respected. Barack Obama wanted the media to focus on the crowd directly behind him a campaign rallies and he made an effort to make sure there were lots of whites and ethnic races along with the blacks in that area. The media respected his wishes for the most part. The media treated them both with professional courtesy. Sarah Palin should be given the same professional courtesy. She shouldn't expect that a wardrobe malfunction or something going on around her will be used to make a National story out of a small State wide holiday piece. There is reasons why cameramen are trained professionals and News rooms have editors.
