Campbell Brown of CNN is feed up with the sexist treatment of Gov. Sarah Palin. So much so that she went on a little on-air rant.
[...] I call upon the McCain campaign to stop treating Sarah Palin like she is a delicate flower who will wilt at any moment…
… Allow her to face down those pesky reporters just like Barack Obama did today, just like John McCain did today. Just like Joe Biden has done on numerous occasions. Let her have a real news conference with real questions.
By treating Sarah Palin differently from other candidates in this race, you are not showing her the respect she deserves.
Free Sarah Palin.
Free her from the chauvinistic chains you are binding her with.
Sexism in this campaign must come to an end. Sarah Palin has as much a right to be a real candidate in this race as the men do.
So let her act like one
I’m with Campbell… let Sarah speak. She should be past those few scripted lines that she has been using since the convention. With less than two months to go, she is either ready or she’s not.

[...] He also wants to postpone the first debate with Barack Obama. Hmmmm… Sounds like a student trying to get out of taking an exam. Does he need a little more time to study? The bad thing about “postponing” the debate is that we don’t have much time left until the election. And as Sen. Obama said, now is the time people really what to hear what the candidates have to say about how they will handle this mess that will inherited by one of them. I know I’ve been looking forward to hearing something besides the negative ads McCain has been flooding the NJ area with. I want to see them go toe to toe on the hard questions. If this week’s debate gets canceled, and the timeline gets too tight to reschedule, one of the four debates will have to be dropped. Guess which one will get the ax? I’ll give you one guess—it won’t be one of the three presidential debates. Now, if I were a conspiracy theorist I might think that was the plan all along—another GOP campaign strategy to protect Sarah Palin from the hard questions. See my previous post, Campbell Brown Says, Free Sarah Palin. [...]

They’re scared. It proves what we all know is true, she’s unprepared. McCain “suspends” his campaign in efforts to get out of the debate on the issues he’s not comfortable with. I agree with a suggestion by David Letterman on John McCain. Go back to Washington if you need to and let your running mate continue the campaign.
They know that she’s unprepared. If Laura Bush can say it why can’t McCain. We see how Sarah handles herself in an interview (ie Charlie Gibson). Perhaps that’s why the Commission on Presidential Debates and Sen. Obama said “Thanks, but No Thanks” to McCain’s request of postponing the debates.
