“I’m not looking at poll numbers.”

An unwillingness to answer questions presented to her in a debate to which both political parties have agreed.

A folksy attitude that pundits say is meant to distance her from Washington and make her sound just like the rest of us.

“Nu-cu-lar.”

Sound familiar?

Don’t be fooled. Palin isn’t like the rest of us – and she shouldn’t be. She’s running for Vice President of the United States, and anyone who believes that her folksy attitude is anything but belittling to the rest of America is being fooled. Pay attention to what she says, not how she says it. Know who you’re voting for, and let’s not forget the past eight years. Like Palin said, we will learn from our mistakes.
