THE ELITES VIEW OF WE THE PEOPLE REFLECTED ON PALIN

 IF PALIN IS VIEWED AS ANTI-INTELLECTUAL, HOW ARE WE VIEWED BY THE SAME ELITEST WHO SHOVES THEIR DESTROYING POLICIES INTO US.

Meanwhile, the segment of the country that Palin respects least, Washington, D.C. elites, continues to be the one that supports her least. A new Politico poll shows that just 11 percent of the capital’s elites believe Palin is qualified to be president. That compares with 23 percent for the country as a whole.

“Palin is a populist-oriented phenomenon drawn heavily from lower middle-class voters, but she also deliberately comes off as anti-intellectual and anti-Washington, so it is no surprise she does not play in the Beltway,” says Mark Penn, CEO of the polling firm Penn Schoen Berland, which conducted the survey. “Elites almost everywhere are turned off by her and some of the very things she does that attract her core support.”
