Sarah Palin's 'Christian Nation' Remarks Spark Debate

[WinterBorn]

Its just a buzz phrase to whip up the Religous Right into more ferverant support of her. It only serves to make her base more secure, yet smaller.

She continues to strengthen the support she gets from the whacko 20% while alienating the middle.

If she is smart, its because she knows she will not ever run for office, but wants to shore up a position in the limelight as a champion of this whacko minority.

If she is dumb, she belives this behavyor is getting her somewhere, with the populace. It might help her to get the Republican nomination, but she will never win a general.

Or she is smart because she knows the extreme right-wingers will remember this, while the rest will forget it. If she stops saying this sort of stuff a year before election time, the general population may have forgotten it and will back her.
