Palin is a real person. The Elitists hate her for that.
I am the farthest thing from being part of a so-called elite, but still want somebody with competance and leadership skills who can articulate their message above and beyond the masses and the mediots. "Ordinary people" don't usually have these, and Sarah (who is NOT ordinary, just a mediocre public figure) does not.
We don't really have an elite in this country in the classical sense, btw. Just a bunch of self-important bourgeois douchebags who think just because they are on television that they are "important." The fact that such fools obsess over Sarah Palin just shows you how un-Elite and arriviste they are.
