so Palin should stop talking like she has talked her whole life ? does she have to start talking like a male politician from New York to get elected ?

[cycle of discernment]

Are you unaware that almost without exception, every major leader in industry, politics, business, goes through media and presentation training?

They EXPECT to fine tune their game, their delivery—they PRACTICE. Just like world class athletes do, concert musicians...they KNOW “impression” oftentimes carries as much weight as “information” in this entertainment-besotted age.

Just the reality we live in, like it or not.

But you are right, she cannot lose her authenticity, her unique “Sarah” dimension.

She just needs to deepen the gravity at strategic points. And not follow it up with a bright smile. No, she needs to let the seriousness LINGER.

Apparently you didn't see Palin's interview with Chris Wallace on Fox News. She won that interview going away. Chris was two steps behind the whole interview and didn't seem to know what just ran him over when it was finished.

If she would continue this type of interview no one on FR would be complaining.

She can do what Margret Thatcher did, take lessons to modulate her speech pattern. Thatcher recognized her short-coming and did something about it. People began to take her more seriously after her speech lessons.

Well, she's got 5 kids to raise, so maybe she's too busy.

She’s not prissy enough to do that.
