Palin Voice Coach Billed As "Get Out The Vote" Expense
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/10/22/palin-voice-coach-billed_n_136939.html


also covered at http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/1008/Get_Out_The_What.html?showall

I wonder what else they spent money on to try to make Palin more appealing.... I know this isn't a deeply important issue but maybe this along with the $150,000 shopping spree will make some of those planning on voting for her think twice and if not go to Obama at least go to another canidate.

4. It seems as though she tries hard to hold back the screeching. It's
obvious she catches herself when she can. More often then not, the nails on black board sound finds it's way out.

9. If I am playing at night, I mute the teevee if she comes on.
I hate to have to revert to an electronic guitar tuner.

10. that means the RNC paid for it rather than the McCain campaign
that's how they classify things the party does to get around the public funding rules, for the national party to spend money it has to be for GOTV
