You share some valid points. Sarah is absolutely on target but needs to be able to “sell it” to the masses-—especially those who would never bother to read what she has said. Working on voice range can only help given that when most people want to mock what a woman is saying, they use a high pitched voice. She has the style, the class, the guts, and the message. Polishing up the delivery will make her unbeatable.
Honestly, why are you guys playing right into the establishment's hands with this crap? Part of Palin's appeal is that she is genuine. Who cares if she speaks with an accent? It's her message that counts. Her message speaks directly to the people.
The minute FReepers and other conservatives (Gingrich) start spewing nonsense about her needing to "brush up" on the issues or offer her some stupid six-point plan on what to do is the minute she's going to go downhill. Palin is her own person and is not shackled by the McCain flunkies who wanted her to act like this, dress like this, and only give interviews with pre-scripted soundbites.
