I use the term pretty loosely. By "elite", I often refer to a group of people in various walks of life who have a pretentious attitude and act as if they are superior to others. On a true definition of the word Palin is certainly in a "elite" class, as would any nationally known and influential public figure would be.

Or are you merely stating that she doesn't come across as such?

True. Using Reagan as an example, he was "elite" in many ways but came across as a very down to earth person. One of my biases against Obama is that he is too smooth, too tailored, too "perfect"...I like a little dirt, wrinkles, weathering, etc. I am a Maryann guy, not a Ginger guy, if you ever seen Gilligan's Island.
