So what is the way forward? Sarah Palin. Why her? She represents a new strain of deeply devout Protestant evangelical. The people of Alaska didn't even know her religious affiliation until this election. She did not practice the intolerance of those old Protestant white guys. No one had a clue about her stance on abortion. And that is a big clue. Basically she was fiscally conservative and socially moderate. In other words a libertarian. No surprise there. She comes from Alaska, the most libertarian state in the nation.
She represents a rebirth of the Leave Us Alone Coalition. About time.
Yes!
UPDATE: Though I do have to correct this--I'm sure at least the people of Wasilla knew her religious affiliation, though she moved to a community Christian church from a denominational one. And yes, she did govern as described.
Finally--no one has any doubt now she is pro-life--she wins hearts and minds.
