    I Want To Read Sarah Palin's Travel Diary

    Posted Friday, September 19, 2008 2:18 PM | By Emily Bazelon
    Julia asked the McCain campaign about the actual cost of Cindy McCain's convention outfit and got no answer. Here's my similiarly cold-shouldered question, which a reader sent in via e-mail and I posed to the campaign a couple of days ago: What's Sarah Palin's history of domestic travel? Which parts of the country other than Alaska and Idaho has she spent significant time in or visited briefly? How much time has she spent in the South, the Midwest, the East Coast, and doing what? The McCain campaign can exaggerate Palin's foreign travel history while she disparages the notion that a record of meeting with foreign dignitaries is a good thing in a vice presidential candidate, I suppose. But what's the argument for not explaining how well Palin knows the different regions of this country—the one she says she is ready to run? Has anyone seen a good run down that I've missed?
