What do some of our die-hard WRP supporters think? Is there a possible angle to this I am not seeing?

I was walking to work today and had actually decided to vote WRP - now this is causing indecision - who wants a leader who hides when things get rough.
To be fair to Ms. Smith there may be nothing to hide but clearly there is a media feeding frenzy forming that can only hurt WRA no matter what they do. Avoiding is her least bad option.

[Edit] I don't condone it - she has an obligation to face the voters - but i can understand it from a strategy perspective
