Greta asks Plouffe about coverage of Palin

On Monday night, David Plouffe sat down with Greta Van Susteren for nearly 30 minutes to chat about the 2008 campaign.

Most of what he has to say is a familiar story by now, but it's interesting to see Palin-friend, Greta, chatting amiably with him, and even when she does bring up Palin's relationship with the media, it's pretty quiet.

Comes at about 16:30 in.

VAN SUSTEREN: Do you think that Governor Palin got treated fairly by the press? Not whether you agree with her. Whether she got treated fairly?

PLOUFFE: I think things like the focus on the family was probably, as Barack Obama said, not appropriate. You know, I think generally this is one of the tough things about a Presidential process.

I mean, you get thrown into the meat grinder right away, and you've got to really execute and thrive in a very, very tough obstacle course.

End of topic.
