I've called her a media queen. That is an insult. I do think it's accurate though. Who puts themselves on a reality TV show that isn't?

I really dislike political figures going on TV like this. I don't like Huckabee doing it even as a commentator and I really hate ‘reality’ TV and anyone associated with it. I don't think I'd watch the show because, frankly, I like her too much to deal with it. I call her ‘cuda’ to my friends as a term of endearment. I'll stand by her if she runs and wins, but I really wish the nonsense would stop.

Watching the show or not is your choice. I am going to watch it because I have never visited Alaska before so for me is the next best thing. You can have your own show and still be President, that doesn’t mean anything. I don’t consider her show “A reality show” I think you might be pleasantly surprised if you see it, but if you don’t that’s your choice. Check out this site

Sit down, your gonna be in for the shock of your life, and NO, I’m NOT comparing her to Ronald Reagan, but his life shows that someone who was in the Entertainment industry CAN be a successful President. I think of Reagan as the best President we ever had

The so-called "reality show" is a recent media invention. Usually, the cameras follow some person around in their daily life, and record the unscripted "reality" of their comings and goings.

There are also "reality shows" such as Orange County Choppers and World's Most Dangerous Catch that feature real people at their work, displaying all of the stresses, infighting, and even successes that occur with these people.

Sarah Palin's Alaska is not a "reality show", such as I've described. It's a documentary series about Alaska - not her. She is simply the host of the series and the spokesperson for her state.

If Sarah were doing a "reality show", it would center on her and her family's daily (and personal) lives. Sarah Palin's Alaska is nothing of the sort.
