CAN SARAH PALIN pick up where Hillary Clinton left off?
Palin wowed delegates with a confident, cutting speech aimed at hockey moms with a chip on their shoulder.
She could have been singing along to Gretchen Wilson's "Redneck Woman" -
"Some people look down on me, but I don't give a rip.
I'll stand barefooted in my own front yard with a baby on my hip."
It was great theater. But to John McCain, all that really matters is whether his running mate can pick up where Clinton left off and expand the GOP voter base.

The idiotic “elites” in New England still don’t grasp Nixonland as they insult Governor Palin to their own detriment.

I’m European and unfortunately I’ve never managed too understand American redneck women.
On the other hand, I’ve never managed to understand any woman at all.
Next time I visit America, I’d like to get in touch with women like these (no offense, just a funny clip I came across goofing around YouTube):

Thanks for the education.
Liberal ignorance aside, is the phenomena of people living in trailer parks actually something especially common in today’s America?
European journalists love to report on the mass “poverty” found everywhere in the US, but I feel they are exaggerating.
Personally, I’ve only visited the US once (Florida, in similarity to many other European tourists to the US) and although I saw some really depressing residential areas in Miami, my general impression of Fla was that of an affluent corner of the world where lots of people could afford nice houses, nice cars and at least the upper middle class segment of the population (and of course rich folks) enjoyed things in life like decent powerboats/yachts and eating out at upscale restaurants several times a week.
In Western Europe, there are no people living in trailer parks, but yet there are plenty of Western Europeans who live much more frugally than middle class Americans. This is something European media often fails to acknowledge.
I live in South Florida. Believe me, it is not America. We have no manners here. Even the police do not bother with turn signals in traffic. America has much more to offer.
The next time you come visit, please travel a little further north to Georgia or South Carolina. You will see some trailer parks. But you will also meet some of the kindest most genuine people in the world.
Ha!
That’s funny!
However, those aren’t “my” kind of red neck wimmen.
They are trailer trash.
I love my kind of red neck woman.
Born and raised in the South, and graced with couth and manners.
Some of us have class. ;o)
As a Southern rural woman, am I to take it that you don’t like more class than that?
If you count having a home, with a teevee, and cable, a car, and a multitude of other possessions, poverty, then go right ahead.
We have the richest poor people in the world.

Ahhhhh...thank you for the explanation.
I know a bit of the world, and I still think of myself as a red neck.
Just because I want to...;o)
It keeps me grounded.
Joan Vennochi:Joan, you ignorant leftist slut.
"...she still must answer for her weak resume and right-wing ideology. She's a lifetime member of the National Rifle Association."
Your 'guy' Barry must answer for HIS invisible resume and his close ties to his unrepentant DOMESTIC TERRORIST buddy Bill Ayers.
And what is wrong with being 'right wing', or a member of the NRA? Is that anything like being supported by the Communist Party USA, or having world wide terrorist organizations hoping, 'praying', that your guy Barry becomes POTUS?
ps: Joan, your dues to the CPUSA are due on the 15th. Don't forget now.
