I believe the usage of the word "Populism" or "Populist" with regards to Sarah Palin is sadly incorrect. For the Huckster, it is closer to the truth.

According to Webster's on-line, the word "Populist" has the following meaning:

1: a member of a political party claiming to represent the common people ; especially often capitalized : a member of a United States political party formed in 1891 primarily to represent agrarian interests and to advocate the free coinage of silver and government control of monopolies

Furthermore, the attempt to link the Huckster to Governor Palin is also misguided as the Huckster does believe and openly states his support for Big-government and his disregard for limited-government Republicans while Governor Palin, more or less, is a limited-government conservative.

To be honest, I think that populist and socialist are the same except that the populist would like to have the Government monitor our bedrooms..
