Patrick Deneen (Ph.D. Rutgers, 95), who holds the “Markos and Eleni Tsakopoulos-Kounalakis Chair in Hellenic Studies” at Georgetown and is the author of Democratic Faith (Princeton University press,2005); really admires the way that Sarah Palin handles snooty, coastal elites:

Above all, she was able to make the genuine case against Obama’s effete elitism. Hearing Mitt Romney attack the “East Coast elites” almost made me blow chow. Rudy G. posing as a populist small-town mayor was laughable. But Sarah – when she noted Obama’s habit of speaking one way to people in Scranton and another way to people in San Francisco – well, that was something she KNOWS something about. She’s had to live it in all its ferocity from his surrogates for the past week, if not from the broader society her whole life. During this past week the bi-coastal Left has revealed all too clearly what it thinks of small town folks in its treatment of Sarah and her family (and it still goes on, incredibly enough). They can overlook the inexperience of a cosmopolitan, but not a small town gal. Especially a small town gal who, by all rights, should be liberated. How dare she not be!!
