if nothing else, Palin’s voice runs thin very quickly.
I like Sarah and sat 10 feet from her, during a speaking engagement last year.
It’s important to learn which traits in a candidate turn off the swing votes in America.
This isn’t about filling out a conservative checklist, it’s about political reality.
Michele has a great shot at VP.

Yes, there are some shallow thinkers (or non-thinkers) who won't listen INITIALLY to the substance of what a person is saying, they are "turned off" by that person's voice.  And I agree that Palin has a challenge with getting that group to actually listen to what she's saying.
 
However, if Palin gets the nomination and the voters are looking at her vs Obama on the ballot, do you really think swing voters will vote for Obama just because of Palin's voice?  IOW, they like her positions on most of the issues (compared to those of Obama), but they will vote for Obama anyway just because they like the way his voice sounds compared to hers? 
 
I can see it in the primaries when deciding whether to vote for one of the GOP candidates, but are they really that shallow to do so at the general ballot after months of Palin ads and performances in debates?
