I don’t see them as amazing. I see them as the normal American family. But my and probably your definition would be panned b contemporary pop culture. But darn, that was a sweet and genuine and real thing.
I use "amazing" from the standpoint of the Palin's represent what every family in America SHOULD be, but unfortunately, are not.
Could you imagine the unbelievable strength of this country if all of our families were THAT strong?
