Al Gore she isn’t, that’s for sure! And thank God for it.
I find Gov Palin to be perhaps the most extraordinary speaker in public life today. She may use colloquialisms in one-on-one conversations, and toss them out when speaking on the fly, but when she gives a speech, she is as clear as a bell, both in content and expression. I’ve never once seen her stumble, fall over her words, use ‘ummm’ or ‘ahhhh’ or the usual oratorical mistakes. She’s an infinitely better public speaker than someone known and loved by the MSM as the Orator of the Millennium (if not of all time).
