The Palin McCain's been talking about

Posted: Thursday, October 02, 2008 9:05 PM by Carrie Dann

From NBC's Carrie Dann
Here's that folksy, everyday American appeal right out of the gate with Palin's first answer. She says you can hear about the consequences of the tough economy just by asking parents at a soccer game on a Saturday afternoon... "You're going to hear some fear" about "the few investments some of us might have," she says.

Are you kidding me? what's with this aw shucks attitude she is putting out there? it seems condescending to most of America. There are intelligent people watching this debate

I think she's trying to just get her point across. She might need to be a bit more on the condenscending side, some people watching this debate may not quite as intelligent.

This aw shucks type of attitude grates on my ears and I would think other intelligent listeners too.

I like my VP and POTUS with a little more dignity and decorum. She sounds like she stepped up from the trailer park and not too long ago at that
