Well, Hunter, if she's a superstar, she'll shine, eh?

A press conference is better than a one-on-one, because in a press conference, if somebody asks you a question you don't like, you can bat it back with quick joke, and then call on someone else. And when you get a question where you're strong, filibuster for five minutes.

It's really not hard to do a 40-minute press conference and avoid the worst of the "gotchas" that way. I assume that, as governor, Palin knows how to do this. She really seems like a natural, and I think they're making a mistake by trying to keep her away from reporters.
