Uneducated does not mean clueless. "Joe Six Pack" is not so clueless that he will believe anyone who walks up to him and says "I'm Joe Six Pack too".

"Joe Six-Pack" is a very suspicious demographic. Joe Six-Pack is all ears for signs of phoniness. Joe Six-Pack would have noticed the forced and stilted folksiness, the flirting with the camera, and the absolute absence of anything substantial that would indicate that she really did share something in common with him.

Joe Six-Pack may or may not have connected with Joe Biden. But unless the individual sampling of "Joe Six-Pack" is a dedicated Freeper (who would follow Palin and the Republican Party off a cliff if ordered to do so), Joe Six-Pack will find Sarah Palin off-putting.

There was no spectacular meltdown on Palin's part, which some people are confusing with success. But they are missing the real story of the debate for her, which was death by a thousand cuts.
