Yes, I think some people will vote against Palin because of her voice and diction.

You have to have personality to win the White House in the modern TV era. But Palin’s personality is a bit quirky for a number of people. Add in the fact she doesn’t have a boatload of accomplishments and political experience to offset that, her personality will be the issue with a segment of voters.

This is one of the reasons I’m not on the Palin bandwagon. Obama’s only strength is his celebrity with certain segments of the population. Palin has that same strength. I don’t really want to match up against Obama on that particular playing field, i.e. strength v. strength in a “Twitter/Facebook” type campaign. I’d rather have a guy like Paul Ryan who would pull Obama over to the policy debate playing field, where I think Obama loses.

"But Palin’s personality is a bit quirky for a number of people."

Probably not for the 30,000-plus who crawl all over each other just to see her speak. Your analyses are puerile, petulant and pointless. You state your opinion and try to import it onto the voting public, probably because you've heard MSNBC and CNN "celebrities" regurgitate the same tired drivel.

As Limbaugh has said (paraphrasing), "Palin will walk away with the GOP nomination. And when she does, Barack Oabama cannot beat her head to head. He just cannot. The only question is, "Will she run?", and even that isn't much of a question any more."

I have more faith in Rush's political analyses than I do your PDS navel gazing. Rush also refereed to Palin's last book as, "The most expansive and detailed Policy Statement I've seen in fifteen years."

You're entitled to your opinion, just make sure you remember that its only your opinion.

Palin has more accomplishments in her political career than Bachmann -- starting with her hometown election as mayor through her 18 months as governor. She certainly has more executive experience governing than Romney has and has won against the big oil companies. Political experience? Tell me again about Romney's Obama care and flip flops on social issues.

Gotta say that as much as I know about Palin, I'm still looking forward to watching the movie.

I know you’ll get flagged, but I totally agree with you. I like Sarah Palin, but she’s damaged goods.
