Sarah Palin's obsession with the term "Joe six-pack" is driving me crazy. So I did a little googling a little to see what other people's opinions were and whatever else I may stumble across. Miriam-Webster defines him as a common man or blue collar worker, taken from a 1975 saying in reference to a six pack of beer being a workingman's drink. He's also a beer columnist for the Philidelphia (PA) Daily News. There was also a disturbing link to a transgender website, but I digress. It seems to me that Palin is trying WAY too hard to get the American public to see her as an everyday, common person they can relate to. I like to think that everyday people don't wink multiple times on a nationally televised broadcast, but thats just my high hopes for this country. If she were your everyday woman, she would not be running for vice president of our country. She is supposed to be more well-informed, level-headed and experienced than your everyday woman. Do I think she can wink at a guy and get the "cute" vote, yes. You can tell that by entering her name into any search engine and pulling up images of her head photoshopped onto playmate's bodies. Do I think she is well informed enough to be given the power of the vice presidency, no. Newsweek discussed her Katie Couric interview in this week's issue and a McCain advisor (who wished to remain anonymous) said that Couric's questions were fair. However, he went on to say that it was acceptable that Palin could not cite specific court cases she disagreed with because the everyday woman would not be able to. However, the everyday woman isn't running for the vice presidency, is she? Palin has not convinced me she's the woman for the job yet, and for the record, she isn't going to do it by winking at me.
