So Palin acquiescing and agreeing to an interview with ABC's Charlie Gibson is being linked to Senator Biden's remarks on this morning's Meet the Press:
“She's a smart, tough politician,” Biden told Tom Brokaw in a “Meet the Press” interview live from Wilmington, Del. “So I think she's going to be formidable. Eventually, she's going to have to sit in front of you like I'm doing and have done. Eventually, she's going to have to answer questions and not be sequestered. Eventually, she's going to have to answer on the record.”
Nice. But I would suggest that Biden's challenge would've had the exact same impact without the glad-handing "she's a smart, tough politician" part.
