Poll: Would you listen to Sarah Palin if she had her own talk radio show? A Daily Poll.

[La Lydia]

I really think she would do much better on TV. She doesn’t have a “radio face.”

[PennsylvaniaMom]

You betcha!!!

Actually...the former of Alaska is too telegenic to be a ‘voice only.’ I would watch her on TV as well.

[RedTail]

Articulate she ain’t.

[bayliving]

Holly cow!

100% voted YES!!!

But WAIT! I am the first to vote. First time EVER for that! Ha!

Seriously though, I don't think her talent would be used properly by doing a radio show. I would rather see her make the talk show circuit every couple of weeks and have her campaign against Nobama. Have her show up at EVERY town that Zerobama is holding a "town hall" meeting and have her hold one of her own.

Things like that to build the momentum going into 2012.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Not if she’s on at the same time as Rush.

[Netizen]

I agree. Too bad its not a real poll, just some personal page poll.

[silverleaf]

She does NOT have a radio voice. Her voice is her single biggest commnication problem.

Seriously- anyone with access to Palin- get her to take intensive voice coaching, so she can learn to control her pitch, timing, breathing!!!!

She talks too fast and gets into the shriek pitch and it grates. And this is advice from someone who admires her in every way.

But keep that Alaska accent- you betcha

[TShaunK]

I would. But to me she is doing herself a diservice by going on the radio. She is better off going on selected TV shows.So she is not overexposed and people can see her physical good looks and appearence.In other words Sarah DOES NOT have a face for radio.
I think selected TV shows on subject that show her strenghts.
Her messege is so much more powerful when it comes from a youthful vibrant feminine appearence.

[jessduntno]

Hope she wouldn't even consider it - she would become unelectable - the "right wing talk show host" label qwould sink her career. Stick with the fundraisers for Conservatives and press conferences...TV is the best place for her.

The face of the Republican Party...

[hinckley buzzard]

Don't do it Sarah. It would be a dead end for any future campaigns for political office.

[hinckley buzzard]

I agree. She has the same tendency Hillary does, screech-wise. I thought if Hillary had gotten effective voice coaching she could have run a stronger race for the nomination. But she obviously never got any, and she lost. I would make the same recommendation to Sarah, and hope this time it would be accepted.

[KarlInOhio]

Obama's FCC would be on top of her like a 25-cent donkey ride. If you thought the ethics complaints in Alaska was bad, just wait until the complaints that she is electioneering are filed every broadcast day and the FCC (suprise!) agrees.

[ResistorSister]

Sarah’s voice is becoming shrill - she needs to bring it down a few notches before speaking on the radio.

Ditto that

[parsifal]

I would, but probably for the wrong reason. I wish she would let me write her speeches for her and her dialogue for the first two weeks.

parsy.

[MinuteGal]

No, I would not tune in as I would feel let down by her doing a show that would open her up to charges she's "now in the entertainment business". It would diminish her.

I agree she has to seriously modulate her voice....and furthermore, she's got to wipe off that perpetual, beaming smile that's glued to her face no matter WHAT subject she's talking about. She doesn't have to vie anymore for Miss Congeniality whenever she steps up to the mike.

Otherwise, she's my gal!

[Matchett-PI]

Not if she’s opposite Rush.

[MinuteGal]

"Not if she's opposite Rush"

Ditto!

No. Having a talk show would trivialize her — unless she’s not planning a run in 2012. If she has no higher political plans, then a talk show would be fine. She has to act like a serious candidate and not an entertainer. I guess others might pull it off, but she’s still vulnerable with the MSM on her a$$ 24/7.
