I am a Palin supporter, but I am not a blind follower.
In my opinion this particular thing did not help her if her objective is to become president. If she doesn’t ever want to be president.... then the show was fine and slightly entertaining.

That’s pretty much where I’m at. I like Palin and what she’s done for conservatism in this country. She energized the base in 2008 and has helped a lot of candidates get elected in 2012. She’s a heckuva a lot smarter and more qualified than Obama - and she drives the media nuts. I don’t think the TLC show particularly helps her, but politics have changed - candidates tweet their messages and update their facebook pages - who would have expected that five years ago. 2012 is a long ways a way - I don’t need to decide on a candidate for quite some time.
It seems to me, her books and her tours and these shows are designed to show us who she is.
If you don't like it, don't vote for her.
I personally am delighted that she fights back in an incredibly effective way. She is being paid to let you and me see her as she wants to be seen.
I too am a Palin supporter and not a blind follower.
I personally don’t go for the tabloidesque side of her and her family’s pop culture participation and would rather her be seen advancing political philosophy and policy when she’s before a camera. Love what she’s done with her Facebook page, feel squeamish about some of her Twitter posts.
But I’m not entirely Middle American either, I guess. I can’t really gauge when she’s winning over potential casual voters and whether she’s gone too far. So I suck it up and hope that she moves into campaign mode, with more of the Serious Sarah on display, soon.
8 episodes of clean-cut fun, gorgeous scenery, and really getting to know the family. It will help not hurt Palin regardless of what she decides to do. I hope she runs, just because I don’t trust anyone else.
