I missed the first couple of episodes of Palin's Alaska and can take it or leave it, but I have enjoyed the ones I've seen. While her voice may be irritating, I find her to be a refreshing change of politician for me. She appears to be devoted to her family, energetic, honest and willing to invite anyone into her life who cares to see it. Professional politics would probably look much different if all politicians were that open and honest. Don't know if she would get my vote, but I would at least know more of what I was getting with her.
