Palin a Soccer Mom or a Symbol?

Sara Palin seems to want to be identified as a soccer mom, a parent, and a government leader. Her point is summerised in the fact that she claims she is a middle class citizen. My question is, do we want a middle class citizen as a vice president?

"McCain is 72. He's had cancer 4 times."

This attack ad is so ruthless CNN and MSNBC both refused to have it run on their station. Luckily, we have the internet:

Aftermath of the VP debates

After veiwing the highly anticipated vice presidential debates we can now see the candidates in a slightly diffrent light. This was certianly an oppertunity to get to know Sarah Palin better. He deminer is something to be noted. She used many expressions during her speach such as "Joe six pack" "say it aint so Joe" and "dog gone it". These expressions may be used by her to realte to the American public and make her seem down to earth and home-townish. But did they do the job? Is this how America wants it's polititions to act? How did her performance during the debate affect how America veiws her?
