Jay Carney of TIME Magazine and Andrea Mitchell also pushed the "Palin is authentic" meme. From MSNBC1:
CARNEY: She seems like a regular person. It is not an agenda-based belief set. It is an honest and authentic one. I think her authenticity is what drew McCain to her. She`s got the chops and she just comes across as quite real.
MITCHELL: In fact on those traditional values, I talked to one prominent Texan who said that it doesn`t work in Texas, that her positions on issues are too conservative for most Texans. This was before the speech. Afterwards, I think the fact that, exactly as you said, Mika, she has an accessible, friendly, authentic face on those cutting issues, and I think she crosses a lot of boundaries, especially as Chuck mentioned on special needs children, an activist group for parents and families of these kids, and energy policy.
