I'm going to go out on a limb and posit that she's already decided to get vocal coaching.

You may be right. There is one idiosyncrasy in her speech that has been driving me crazy. Two little words "it is". She uses that every time she uses "what, when, who, where". "What it is", When it is, who it is, where it is." I cringe every time she sticks that extra "it is " into a sentence. But I didn't hear her use "who it is" a single time in this interview. I pray that somebody got to her. I know it's a colloquial phrase and she no doubt has been using it all of her life. That makes it hard to change.

its sad when someone has to take voice lessons to be more attractive as a political leader rather than Sarah Palin just being who she is.

that would seem superficial and shallow.. but maybe im wrong..

I guess her colloquialisms and her accent didn't hamper her rise through Alaska politics, but it's definitely something of an impediment now.

It's not a deal-breaker for her staunch supporters, who hear the content of her words louder than how she says them, but her vocal delivery could keep some Americans from ever hearing what she's trying to say to them.

I think Sarah's sharper than the average tack, and has already figured this out. She's usually a few pages ahead of the rest of the class. I expect her vocal delivery to mysteriously smooth out a lot over the next year or so.
