I don't like Carly Fiorina but never gave her voice a second's thought. Some people have pleasing voices, some not. The first word out of Sarah Palin's mouth makes me cringe. Hillary's voice is fine when she's calm, when angry or excited, I all of a sudden start thinking of the sound of her voice. It can get irritating. I thought the very same thing twenty years ago when I was a big fan of hers.
