A fine comment from the BBC: I said before Palin looked to me like the Valley Girl, feigning stupidity to hide malice and get the jocks...

From Time.com, an alternative view of the candidates from Benjamin Nugent, author of American Nerd: The Story of My People. He says: "[Obama] would be the guy the jocks didn't choose to towel-snap, but he would kind of stand there looking disapproving while they towel-snapped. Whereas McCain would be more likely to towel-snap you, and Sarah Palin would make out with the guy who towel-snapped you."
