That’s a fair question. I know I’m going to catch all kinds of hellfire for this, but to be honest, she’s just too damned redneck for me. Granted, it’s a cold snowy, hey we got igloos kind of redneck, but a redneck none the less. Sorry, but I’ll take a candidate who can pronounce the g’s on the end of words any day.
The best thing I can say about Palin is that she’s a Republican. So, if she somehow gets the nod in ‘12, I’ll vote for her, but she won’t be my pick in any primary.
No hellfire from me. I’m a hillbilly a/k/a redneck a/k/a blue-collar workin’ class a/k/a salt of the earth and I often encounter folks who aren’t comfortable around me because of who I am, and that’s okay, it doesn’t bother me in the least. One thing to bear in mind though, it doesn’t mean that folks like myself and Gov. Palin are unsophisticated, we’re comfortable with who we are and with those around us.

I can respect that: you won’t catch Hellfire from me. Sarah Palin is the sort of candidate that would polarize (no pun intended): she either works for you or she doesn’t. It would be difficult to be neutral about her.
Speaking personally, I think she’s the best thing to have happened to the GOP in a long time — possibly since Reagan. I wish I could vote for her: I’d almost give my left nut to have someone of her caliber to vote for here in New Zealand. So once you guys have finished with Palin I’d be grateful if you’d send her down our way.
As to being a Redneck, well — I’m a Kiwi Redneck, so that works for me just fine.
