AP Says Palin Avoiding Reporter's Questions

The Associated Press says Governor Palin is effectively deferring all questions about her record as Alaska’s governor to McCain’s camp.

Palin’s government press secretary now turns away inquiries from any reporter who isn’t permanently based in Alaska.

Wire service says it’s

part of an ambitious Republican strategy to limit any embarrassing disclosures and carefully shape her image.

Also, a conservative Alaska commentator at the Alaska Daily News begs Palin to come clean.
