One of the things I wish Sarah would spend time doing right now, is working with a voice coach, as funny as that sounds.
Even though she usually is spot on with her words, her delivery is so fast (especially when she is passionate about something!) and her voice range is so high, she sounds like a teenager. I say this as a fan of hers, not as a criticism. This is a small part of why the press has been able to get away with marginalizing her as not someone to be taken seriously.
Look at the Idiot in Chief...99% of the time he’s WRONG on the facts, WRONG on the history, yet he “sounds good” so people think he knows what he’s talking about!
This was pointed out to me by my formerly left wing nutjob sweetie who is now solidly in OUR camp. But his honesty in appraising her as a candidate is helpful, I think.
I know some otherwise sensible people i work with,moderate to conservative individuals who are convinced shes an intellectual lightweight. I fight the good fight but as of yet its not a winning battle.
“how about that interview,what about the debate” etc. Unlike them,i (you,we here) watched the debate. we did not rely on the media to play Monday morning quarterback. We know she was sandbagged in interviews.
I hope shes better perceived when the time comes because she,above all other politicians,is truly included in the phrase,We The People,unlike those who fancy themselves our rulers.
“We can’t spare this woman. She fights.”
The origins of this quote:
*
“Can’t Spare This Man”
(Excerpt)
One night, about eleven o’clock, Colonel A. K. McClure, whose intimacy with President Lincoln was so great that he could obtain admittance to the Executive Mansion at any and all hours, called at the White House to urge Mr. Lincoln to remove General Grant from command.
After listening patiently for a long time, the President, gathering himself up in his chair, said, with the utmost earnestness:
“I can’t spare this man; he fights!”
In relating the particulars of this interview, Colonel McClure said:
“That was all he said, but I knew that it was enough, and that Grant was safe in Lincoln’s hands against his countless hosts of enemies...”
(from Lincoln’s Yarns and Stories , by Colonel Alexander K. McClure)

The quote has been adapted by Sarah Palin’s supporters to stress how important she is to the center-right grassroots.
It’s earliest application to Palin that I can find was by author David Karki in an op-ed for the North State Writers Group April 22, 2009:

The quote, as modified by karki, has become a battle cry for Palin supporters who are convinced that, more so than any other prominent GOP figure, she is showing leadership in opposition to Barack Obama, the Democrats and all that they represent.

I think you mean by her habit in talking very quickly on tv. I think thats probably new. Her experience with the media recently has mentally handicap her a bit, I think. Its constantly at the back of her mind that the interviewer is out to get out and she want her point out as quickly as possible before getting interrupted or edited out. If you watch her previous interviews on tv and debate in Alaska. It was ALOT better
Thanks! I love the quote. Might steal it as a tagline, but I also like the one I have.
LOL
And I think that your assessment has a great deal of merit. Very well thought out.
I used to be a Fred Thompson fan during the primaries, but no longer. I think criticism about him being lazy is going to stick with me. I didn’t think of it before, but he’s not much of a fighter

I love the graph showing dry wells. The dims seem to think that if you have a lease, you have oil or gas.
nooo, the pipe was going to kill the carabou
Lurking in the back rooms of Washington is Cap & Trade. It has worked its way thought The House of Representatives.
This dangerous monster is still around, it deserves as much scrutiny by the taxpayers as health care.
Town Halls for Cap & Trade ?
Sarah Palin seems to be the only one speaking out on this BS. Is it just me, or do we hear anyone else decrying this?
i might add, that obama is in a similar shoe as well. I’ve been seeing ALOT of obama stuttering clips recently. Without the teleprompter he’s not that impressive at all.
People talk about how articulate OBama is, but whenever he’s off prompter, he stutters ALL the time
and he is all those things as well and a criminal mobster communist loving enemy of America
I agree with you on this score. She needs to learn to modulate a bit. Right on message, but the voice should compliment the message not be a distraction to it.
Hillary had the worst voice I've ever heard in politics outside of congressman Anthony Weiner or Chuck Schumer, both are the winiest people.
That’s prolly the word I was looking for...”modulate.”
I think that’s what I meant! LOL
Good news! WTG Sarah.
