She likely has never had such scrutiny and fact-checking about her remarks back in Juneau. So she’s going to be even more cautious about stating anything factual.

But she likely be on safe ground if the questions don’t get too outside the bounds of the McCain pamphlets and are generalities.</p> The problem is that Palin is likely second guessing everything she says right now.
