Not as much as a speaking coach. After my time at DINFOS my speech was transformed, and that part of broadcasting school with Mr. Runda was only a week or so long.

I have heard her speech derided.
Your “cringeworthy” is much less extreme than usually expressed.
Do us a favor.
Explain why you thought it was cringeworthy.
“Closely followed by a voice coach. “
Typical.
Never any substance in criticisms of her.
Just superficial stuff like this.
She is as God created her. What you see is what you get. You don’t like how she sounds, don’t listen.
I will certainly vote for her before I would vote for Romney, Bush, McStain, or Christie.

It wouldn’t matter if Palin was perfect, they would still want to crucify her.
It isn’t her wrongdoings that make them so angry. They are most angry when she is right.
20 of her 22 endorsements won last year. Anyone else have a record like that?
Meanwhile, the sainted Hillary’s endorsement record was 1-11. Ha!

Sorry I must be tired found this hard to follow. One guy is claiming to be Christian, certainly not anybody that would have a article posted at the anti Christian Daily Beast.
The writer is claiming to be Christian while trashing his supposed Sister in Christ.. Yes Sarah is a Christian this we know for certain.
The intelligentsia consider that a fatal flaw.
Not me.
WRONG!!!
When I say discipline, it's about a lot more than "dragging your kids door to door." That may be dedication, but has little to do with discipline. Discipline in a political sense is subordinating campaign decisions and delegating to people competent to do it. I heard directly from people close to her that she was terrible about delegating and wouldn't trust anyone to do anything. Decisions that should take minutes took days, decisions that should take days took weeks.
According to one person who was inside her group and intimately close for months, she wouldn't listen to anyone.
I agree with you that this IA thing was mostly meaningless . . . except for Palin. She had to come out and remake her image. She has been a political non-entity, reduced to Facebook posts. She may have swung a primary or two, but did have serious clout. Above all, she had to prove that in fact she was serious. Anyone else---Rubio, Paul, Cruz, could have blown this without much damage, but she had to reestablish herself and I think it's clear to everyone that she didn't.
In what sense?
...and that it was a “come to Jesus” moment...
I believe resigning the Governorship was a master stroke of political jujitsu.
I spoke to several people who were at the Iowa meeting. They like Sarah.
Their report was that she was surprised by the teleprompter not working and her unrehearsed speech was a little unfocused and less serious than the tone set by other speakers. They laugh off the idea that she was terrible. She just wasn’t as sparkling as usual.
It happens.
As a matter of fact, an early demonstration of the power of the telegraph occurred in 1844 whenThe Democrats nominated New Yorker Silas Wright for Vice President. A message was sent via telegraph to Washington to notify Wright. Wright then had Morse send his rejection. The convention responded by asking Wright to reconsider. Again Wright declined the offer. Eventually Wright refused the nomination four times. The National Register reported that the long-distanced political negotiating went on "with lightning speed.”
In the sense that the reaction to her speech is a witch hunt.
It is an irrational response, hysterical, visceral and Lynch mob mentality.
To not fall in with the mob, not subscribing fully to the groupthink, he himself faces being smeared as a Palin-lover and having all the attributes they throw at her attributed to him as well.
It is a group think in the Beltway Establishment milieu he lives in. It is like cliques in Junior High and he actually did not spit on the icky girl.
It is that immature.
It is scary because they are not Junior High kids.
The responses to her speech actually scare me.
Sarah Palin is a smart conservative with big ovaries. She took on the press and the liberal machine. She’s not afraid of Obama, and people fighting him could generously be given the right to be scared.
But she got Palinized. 3/4 of the American people think she is stupid. The media won.
And she has made some awful mistakes that make it hard to defend her self-aggrandizing actions as well as now becoming somewhat of her own caricature. I want to say, “What happened,” but maybe this was a side of Sarah all along.
She’s the real deal but not for elected office any more. I’m sad that my conservative friends who pooh-poohed her for years are more right than I am.
Remember never to get caught up in personality. Conservative constitutionalism is far bigger than any human being. We have a job to do, to restore this nation to a free republic. It matters naught what names our leaders have. Our leaders can change. It’s easy to get cultish but we must GUARD against that.
I think you are a bit off base in your posts about Palin, but want to thank you for actually providing an unemotional, thought out, rational, analytically presented and good willed criticism of Palin.
