Palin’s latest interview was yesterday with Rush Limbaugh:

Though they have apparently never met, a well-received interview with Sarah Palin yesterday could have given many the impression that host Rush Limbaugh and the Republican vice-presidential nominee were old friends.

During the ten minute conversation, the warmth and candor on evidence did much to reassure worried supporters who’ve been battered by recent mainstream media polls urging them to stay home in the face of a certain Obama victory.

And with a direct, unfiltered conversation, it’s certainly a welcome relief from the way her words and actions are routinely twisted by mainstream media enemies.

Given allegations by conservatives that the McCain campaign had been “hiding” Palin in recent weeks, the timing of this interview does seem intriguing. Has McCain taken the advice of concerned supporters who feel she should be given more leeway on the trail?

Brian Mulroney has the details.
