While Palin draws support from Joe Six-pack, some women conservatives find her unqualified.

BANGOR, Maine — It is not unusual for fans of Sarah Palin to shout out to the Alaska governor during her stump speeches. It is noteworthy the crowds are heavily male.

"You rock me out, Sarah," yelled one man, wearing a red-checked hunting jacket as Palin, the Republican vice-presidential candidate, strode into an airplane hangar here last week.

He held a homemade "Dudes for Sarah" sign and wore a National Rifle Association (NRA) hat. Kenny Loggins' "Danger Zone" blared over the loudspeakers, and the man even danced a little — yes, a guy in an NRA hat dancing in a hangar, kind of a Sarah Palin rally thing.

"I feel like I'm at home," Palin said, looking out at a boisterous crowd of 6,000. "I see the Carrharts and the steel-toed boots," she said, the first reference being to a clothing brand favored by construction workers and the burly types who make up much of the "Sarah Dude" population. "You guys are great," she said while signing autographs.

She comes across as "just like Joe Sixpack", because that's exactly where she originally came from. She's the "girl next door" who went and did good. She's genuine, she's the real thing, and the blue-blooded elite hate her for it.

I know a lot of Peters that are drawn to her too.
