CNN brings up a Palin sentence toward the end of the debate. “What I would do, also, if that were ever to happen, though, is to continue the good work he is so committed to of putting government back on the side of the people and get rid of the greed and corruption on Wall Street and in Washington,” Palin said. The firm grades that sentence at a super doctorate level giving it an 18.3 grade. “When she said it, it sounded good, but on paper it’s a completely different animal,” said the President of the Global Language Monitor. “It’s like, what is that?” http://features.csmonitor.com/politics/2008/10/04/palin-speaks-at-higher-grade-level-than-biden/ “But a higher grade level doesn’t mean what you’re saying is understandable.

After all, there is a reason newspapers are written in language 6th graders can understand; the public likes it that way." Now that's just elitist (kidding). But isn't it strange how some (I'm not pointing the finger at this blog) right-wing commentators are rapidly switching from saying people are just too ground-level and honest to find favors with the eloquent, global-minded and patronizing democrats to saying the people isn't educated and knowledgeable enough to understand how important it is to rally to a strong leader? Mark Steyn does this regularly and I expect many morons like him will do the same after reading about this analysis. "One wonders whether Palin hurts herself by speaking on a 10th grade level.
