This is why liberals are called elitists.
Yeah, but I don't think it hurt Palin with her hick and floosy constituency.
BTW, It is much better to be elitist than to be mediocrist, it is also better to drive the medicre to acquire a little of what is good about the elite, than it is for the elite to pander to, and thereby further dumb down, the mediocre.
It absolutely hurt her. Part of her base are people that believe in purity rings and the sanctity of marriage. And I can't tell you how many times I heard people say (liberals included) that if she couldn't control her daughter how was she going to control the presidency if McCain died?
And besides, pandering is exactly what Hilary's doing with her daughter's pregnancy. What grand moral/philosophical issue is Chelsea's pregnancy going to solve? Nothing. All it is, is a way for Hilary to seem more relatable to her constituents. This is literally a pandering tactic. Just like Hillary meme photo that relates her to younger people. Same with the Bill Clinton meme photo, which is a call back to Hillary's photo. It's all just pandering.
