I've been surprised by Palin's upper mid-west accent. I feel like I'm back in Milwaukee whenever I hear her. I'm just waiting for her to end a sentence with "...don't ya know."
I don't think the accent and her tone serve her well. I think people are tired of bumper- sticker phrases, and pot-shot zingers. We have serious problems. Palin glosses over things in a way that makes her untrustworthy. She just doesn't give me very much confidence.
The country is having a crisis of confidence. Despite her brilliant political instincts (let's face it, she has them), Palin seems unaware that her "You betcha" regular-gal, "just trust me" wink-of-the-eye, moxie is NOT a confidence builder. She comes across like an Eddie Haskel, a double-crosser.
Just the same, I become a zombie at the sight of Sarah Palin's neck. You know, like Almasy is attracted to Katherine in The English Patient?
She definitely channeled her inner Marty McSorley, that's for sure. I thought she totally won the first half of the debate.
But she hurt herself in the second half by repeating her talking points over and over. The repetition of those talking points played like her devastating Couric interviews.
Guilty as charged Anonymous. Sully and I are like-minded conservatives. We want smart, secular conservatives capable of running things, not simpletons like George W. Bush. I'm proud to say I never fell for George W. Bush. The GOP's anti-elitism has caused it's dumbing down, something only Democrats used to be good at. Here's some good reading in that regard.

What I want to know is where did she come up with that Fargo accent? I never met anyone from Alaska that speaks like that.
I posted this to my Facebook account earlier today. It is spot on.
I was wondering about that Fargo accent too! I assumed she wasn't originally from Alaska...
Hilarious chart. Waaaay better than the Bristol Stool Chart for sure.

I think you are reading too much Andrew 'Barebacking' Sullivan.
