She'd send in the army.
In an online discussion held yesterday, Dana Milbank of the Washington Post reported that the McCain campaign has somehow persuaded Sarah Palin's Secret Service detail to bar reporters from interviewing her supporters:
...I have to say the Secret Service is in dangerous territory here. In cooperation with the Palin campaign, they've started preventing reporters from leaving the press section to interview people in the crowd. This is a serious violation of their duty -- protecting the protectee -- and gets into assisting with the political aspirations of the candidate. It also often makes it impossible for reporters to get into the crowd to question the people who say vulgar things. So they prevent reporters from getting near the people doing the shouting, then claim it's unfounded because the reporters can't get close enough to identify the person.
Imagine what this bunch would do if given real power. Looks like all that time spent near Russia taught Caribou Barbie even more than we thought.
