I watched one of Palin’s episodes last night and was pleasantly surprised with it as a matter of getting a good look at Alaska, its people and the Palin family. But I agree that too much of the reality television formula detracts from Sarah’s credibility if she runs for President. It feeds into her critics’s claim that she is an inexperienced, empty-headed lightweight.

No, quite the opposite.

It shows her as a real-life person who can deal with cry-babies like Kate Gosselin and puts people like her in the proper prespective.

After watching the scene of Kate's meltdown and how Sarah handles by basically saying "quit yer cryin'", all I have for Sarah is respect.

This TLC show was a wise move on her part because she is able to reach a segment of the American electorate in a format that is under her control and they understand.

These shows are nothing but a win for Sarah.

“detracts from Sarah’s credibility if she runs for President”

I am just curious...just exactly what makes one “credible” to be President? Check out the “credentials” of the past ones and tell me why they are more credible than Sarah Palin? Which one of them actually led a country as large and diverse as the USA? Which one of them had experiences/education that taught them precisely how to be President? Why is her life experiences and her education and her political career seen as detrimental and the others before her had similar backgrounds but weren’t seen as not credible...why would the one currently in office be thought credible when he is a total mystery man with credentials no one actually knows...considering these...then why is Sarah Palin not considered credible?

Don’t buy it. Whatever she does they will still call her an empty headed lightweight, so she might as well do what she thinks best.
