To me she is real life. She seems like she is trying too hard to be something she just isn't.
-
Oh, I think she is just being Sarah - except when she is being handled by the McCain team. I'm not sure how to tell the difference and even if I could would I like her to be the next VP or even Pres. I think not.
-
I think she is not ready for this role. She's been brought in by McCain to lure female voters, a move which is going to fall flat on his face. I have nothing against Palin though!
-
she is just a poor white trash trying to live in the big world. she is a no body.
-
She's real. We have been blinded by the fakes that surround the scum politicians.
-
A little in-between, just like she and McCain want her to appear.
-
She can be both, depending on who you're asking. To her proponents, she's a welcome breath of fresh air on America's national political scene. Her detractors, however, describe her as a bimbo who's out of touch and uninformed. They're probably both right, to some degree. Personally, I don't like her politics. She's way, way, too conservative for me.

Why do we have to categorize her and put her in a box with a label? Why can't she just be Sarah Palin? Personally, I think it is really tacky to categorize people so that you don't have to be bothered with really getting to know them. Personally, I think we are a little to accustomed to valuing the Ivy League style and polish and devaluing every other kind of style and polish. New York and LA aren't the only ways to be, you know.

If we are to believe Obamas story about his upbringing then he could be considered low class also.
-
She's a little "rough around the edges." Not what we've come to expect in a VP. My concern is that if McCain wins, foreign heads of state will have no respect for her nor understand her "folksy" talk. And the VP most certainly does meet with foreign diplomats. She's just a little too "real."

As a non USA resident looking in from the 'outside', I would say she certainly is NOT tacky and low-class. She is a breath of fresh air in a stuffy, patronizing, self-aggrandizing boys club. Saying that, I must add that Obama is also very refreshing and a pleasure to listen to. Political content notwithstanding - your campaign has been fascinating this time round. The world is watching!
-
She is glorified trailer trash.
-
I don't think she is all that real - a bit inexperienced, but so is my man Obama. I also wouldn't characterize her as tacky. She seems to me to be a bit of a shill, an opportunist, and also straightforward and forthright. In other words, a politician, grabbing her chance to make her big mark.

I don't want to stereotype Gov. Palin, she is a real person but she can still be as real but with some education and a bit of class. These issues can be learned, I don't see how the Republicans have let her go through such rough situations, they could have helped her specially Mrs. Cindy McCain who is an educated and refined lady, after all it is in her best interest.
-
I think she is a politician which I define ALL politicians as power hungry, self-serving, deceitful, and self-glorifying. Then again, you need these characteristics to be in the political arena.
-
I suppose that depends upon how much of a snob you are. : )
-
Sarah Palin is real, and if you actually watch her in action, you will be hard pressed to see her as "tacky and low class". Liberals think anyone that believes the Bible is insane, and it is this fact that makes the media, by large, attack her like fire ants, and conjuring up one "gotcha" question after the other.
-
There's nothing real about her. Every word she says has been written for her.
