SEDONA, Arizona (CNN) - Sarah Palin on Tuesday called herself a "Joe-six pack American" and said that her family has lost $20,000 in the stock market because of the financial meltdown on Wall Street.
Palin made the comments in a radio interview with conservative talker Hugh Hewitt while taking a break from debate prep at John McCain's ranch in Sedona.
"I know what Americans are going through there," Palin said on the radio show. "And you know, even today, Todd and I are looking at what's going on in the stock market, the relatively low number of investments that we have, looking at the hit that we're taking, probably $20,000 dollars last week in his 401K plan that was hit.
"I'm thinking, 'Geez, the rest of America, they're facing the exact same thing that we are. We understand what the problems are.'"
Hewitt asked Palin her reaction to the "extreme hostility" that she has faced from liberals.
"Oh, I think they're just not used to someone coming in from the outside saying you know what? It's time that a normal Joe six-pack American is finally represented in the position of vice presidency, and I think that that's kind of taken some people off guard, and they're out of sorts, and they're ticked off about it," she said.
To the blogger who indicates that the presidential candidate is a Muslim and to the so-called Hillary Clinton supporter, the selection of president is extremely important and the candidates should not be slighted. Non-essential issues should not be the main issues. The ECONOMY and the War are the issues and how the person selected will govern and lead.
It's the 'American Idol " mindset. Tomorrow you too can be the President. You don't need skill,a brain or any leadership ability. You just need to be good looking even if your DUMB!!!Say a few "cute" things and it does not matter if your CLUELESS!!!..." cnn.com

Weak attempt to pass herself off as the "every woman". Try telling your story to those who lost nothing because they have nothing to lose, see how much pity you get from them.
Maybe she should ask Russia for some money since she can see it from her house.
If she lost 20k in the recent dip, she has over 300k, I would say, invested in 401k. What "average six-pack Joe" has 300k playing around in the stock market?? This "average six pack" Joe-lene can barely pay the bills and buy groceries.
Average my ass.
Average my ass.

This means she is normal. I lost as well. I will be voting FOR HER through McCain because SHE is a Conservative.
Dumbocrats can't stop spending our money even if it is on a 401K

What the h#@$ are you talking about? The democrats didn't spend money on a 401k.. a 401k is an investment plan for retirement offered by an employer, you dumba#$. Conservative doesn't mean doesn't want to spend money, it means that their views are more for traditional family values and less government. Democrats think government should be larger and take on more of society's problems. It doesn't mean spending more money.
