How It's Used

“All the while, Ms. Palin’s stoutest defenders are often the Joe Sixpacks in her crowds, who shrug off her critics, ridiculers and perceived adversaries in the news media. They say they appreciate Ms. Palin for, above all else, how 'real' and 'like us' she is.”

—Mark Leibovich, “Among Rock-Ribbed Fans of Palin, Dudes Rule,” The New York Times, October 19, 2008.

“Even her reference to the 'Joe Six-Pack' constituency was considered poor form by some Alaskans and insensitive because of the historic ravages of alcohol abuse here, especially in Native villages.”

—Yereth Rosen, “Palin Returns to Alaska, Urged to Mend Fences,” Yahoo News, November 6, 2008.
