I think it speaks to people who are already convinced and not to those who are fence sitting. Yeah, I guess I just feel that the wink doesn’t make a specific enough statement to be powerful.

The second is questionable. Palin's winking is a symbol of her glibness. Her winking has a meaning that's evolved with her public persona. It's not just a woman winking that's the sign; it's Palin in particular. It's a communicative tick of Palin's, and it has come to mean something very particular about her relationship to voters and knowledge of the issues. Palin's wink is a short-run around experts, pundits, and the media. It's an appeal to voters that, in the end, knowledge doesn't matter as much as personal attraction. McCain's campaign could use Biden's fakey smile if they wanted something similar, except for the fact that Biden actually knows a bit more. So the meaning is similar, but different.
