A recent article on the Huffington Post exemplifies the media's attitude towards Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin - she's just too "folksy" and isn't smart enough for the liberal elite. This also explains why a VP candidate has had such a huge impact on the presidential race.
The lead to Arianna Huffington's post sets the stage:

There are many conservative columnists that are calling for Palin to withdraw as vp candidate for the good of the country, why don't you mention them?
Don't you want the most brilliant among us leading the country? I like her and she seems like a sweet lady but I don't know that she's got the brains to take on the job if McCain kicks the bucket during the term.
(I also feel this way about Bush: likeable, but not the brightest guy, and being led by a very dominant and powerful staff incl Cheney.)
Sure, Palin was elected as governor of a state - but being governor of Alaska has about the same scope as being mayor of a major US city. It doesn't set you up for the Oval Office.
'Electable' and 'capable' while not mutually exclusive are really quite different attributes.
so she is too dumb and Obama is too smart. What a bunch of morons we have electing our president and vp.
I am starting to feel sorry for Sarah Palin. She is out of her league. John McCain is just boostering her up, for I do not know what. Like she said during the debate, she will have this executive power. Wrong. VP have no power. What is McCain thinking? Why is he doing this to her?
Yeah, G.A., just like that one guy with 7 houses, married to an heiress, who is part of a Naval dynasty.
Yep. Folksy like him.
I watched the debate in my family room with my husband.
I'm about as middle America as they come - nuclear family, part time employee, full time mom.
Sarah Palin is not my candidate. I wouldn't mind having coffee with her, but I don't want her to lead my country.
People were worried about if she could think on her feet and answer tough questions. They needn't have concerned themselves. She didn't answer the tough questions and just gave little speeches that often had nothing to do with what she had been asked.
Sarah Palin is simply not up to the job of being POTUS. She was so far over her head in the debates that I felt sorry for her.
McCain has assured himself a loss in November by tapping her as VP.
BTW, I'd hardly consider The Huffington Post a part of the MSM.
I love you guys. Obama visits 57 states and practically promises to capitulate to our enemies, but he's smart enough to lead the free world? Forget the fact that he blames America for practically every ill of the world.
After four years of Barack Obama, Jimmy Carter will start to look good.
Sarah Palin has shown more courage than anyone you can name.
Imagine after the last weeks of media bashing her (unfounded rumors)being able to walk out there so vibrant and confident!
No one among us could do the same.
Kudos to Sarah. bho wishes he could muster that kind of courage. He apparently can't muster his birth certificate, any papers he wrote while editor of Harvard review or offer any names of clients he served as a lawyer (grunt in a big firm). He won elections by having his competitors removed from the ballots (Alice Palmer, for one)under rules (which should be)and his closest advisors have been BEYOND shady.
His community organizer experience isn't even close to what Sarah Palin had been through prior to becoming governor, much less since.
That terrorist & other muslim nations are for this boob(of the highest order)oughtta be raising red flags, ALL OVER THE PLACE!
