It seems Palin's biggest problem is that she is an outsider or different than those inside the beltway or those in the media fraternity. People secure with their intellect don't need to demean others and are accepting of the value of what differences bring to the table. No person is perfect but that does not mean they can not do great things or bring value.

I really have no idea what is or who is a pseudo-intellectual.
I think Palin problem was she couldn't answer basic questions then blamed the media for asking questions. If I asked my Realtor what the closing costs on a property would be and they answered "what are closing costs?" I'd find another Realtor. When a person running for VPOTUS is asked what that job entails four times and doesn't know the answer four times I longer take them serious as a viable candidate.
