It's a major shift in strategy for the Republican ticket. Vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin has been attracting big crowds for weeks, but only now is she doing regular one-on-one interviews.

With only two weeks until Election Day, Palin spent most of the day in Nevada. News 3's Steve Crupi was the only journalist to meet with the Alaska governor following her big rally in Henderson.

Tuesday, her main focus was on women voters. Most of the people on stage with her at the Henderson Pavilion were women and the crowd was filled with young women. She talked extensively about the need for women to earn equal pay for equal work.

"Really it is that simple, fundamental fairness," Palin said during her speech.

Sarah Palin received even more applause when she slammed Barack Obama for allegedly not giving his own female employees in the Senate the same pay rate as the men.

But what the crowd didn't get to see were the tough questions News 3 asked the governor backstage about the Las Vegas economy, education, and the search for new sources of energy.

Regarding the topic of education, Governor Palin agreed that schools need to be better funded and teachers need a pay raise.

And of course News 3 had to ask Sarah Palin about her appearance on Saturday Night Live and why it seems that most of the campaign comedy is directed at her.

Tuesday was a very busy day for Sarah Palin. She was in Reno and then headed to Ohio, another battleground state.
