i live in the northern VA suburbs of Washington, DC, which IS big city America, and she is perfectly palatable here. 20K showed up to the McCain Palin rally in Fairfax VA. she is NEVER going to appeal to liberals, so what’s your point about charm school again>?
My guess was all the ‘gosh darns’ and ‘you betchas’ etc., while fine with me, might not play as well after her newness wears off. She might come off as more statesman like with a little work.
