SHEESH! You two sound like many of Palin’s critics, claiming to like what she says but grousing about her accent and manner of speaking. The nation has been driven to the edge of a cliff by folks who sound like New Yorkers or Yaleys - or Walter Cronkite. I much prefer the authentic, unaffected voices of the prairie and the north woods. Get over it.

Sorry, but unfortunately politics is as much about image as it is about substance.

Palin is a good example. Great looks, great ideology, great words. But honestly, whether it is on a conscious or subconscious level, her physical voice is a negative, and has doubtless hurt her. Sad but true.

You sort of missed the point. If that's authentic, it's still nails on a chalkboard. Eccl and I are having a bit of fun with it, but, of course, we forgot the 'hero cult' status of a new politician. Not allowed to say anything bad about them.
