The day's next big political interview was part two of Katie Couric's Exclusive with Sarah Palin, the Republican Vice Presidential candidate. At one point Palin got so flummoxed that she completely lost her train of thought. "Alaska has a very narrow maritime border between a foreign country, Russia, and on our other side the land boundary that we have with Canada. It is funny that a comment like that was kind of made to… I do not know… You know… Reporters!"
What was the ferocious gotcha!-moment grilling from anchor Couric that left John McCain's running mate gasping for words? "You have cited Alaska's proximity to Russia as part of your foreign policy experience. What did you mean by that?"
NBC anchor Brian Williams played the Couric-Palin clip to political director Chuck Todd for reaction. "They have kept her too sheltered," Todd speculated. "They have not done local interviews. They have not done print interviews. They could have her already comfortable in these settings where she would not be stumbling around for an answer."
