Saint Sarah To white evangelical women, Sarah Palin is a modern-day prophet, preaching God, flag, and family—while remaking the religious right in her own image.
Another memoirist might prefer to keep such matters private, but Sarah Palin is not another memoirist. In Going Rogue: An American Life, Palin describes, perhaps for the first time in the history of political autobiography, a furtive trip to an out-of-state drugstore to obtain a do-it-yourself pregnancy test. This was in the fall of 2007, when the 43-year-old mother of four was governor of Alaska and began to notice “some peculiar yet familiar physical symptoms, like the smell of cigarettes making me feel more nauseated than usual.” So, while on business in New Orleans—at a time and in a place where her anonymity was still possible—Palin procured the kit. In the privacy of her hotel room, she “followed the instructions on the...box. Slowly a pink image materialized on the stick.
Bill Pugliano Sarah Palin's pro-woman rallying cry is poised to transform the Christian right into a women's movement. View a photo gallery of how her following has become big business. Cult of Palin “Holy geez!”

Stands to reason. Good call.
I recall seeing pics of Sarah there and many other cities when she was on book tour.
People in lines over night in snow to see or speak to Sarah Palin.
One wannaBie recently on his book tour couldn’t have bought a crowd. After a few days you heard nothing more unlike
Sarah, the news went on for weeks re the huge crowds.
better late than never.
Har. Well my AnkleBiter sycophant, there’s another subject your wrong about.
When it comes to the Pdb clown posse, you can bet it's going to be just like that.
I wasn’t late. I immediately owned up to what I had done and apologized. You on the other hand were told to look around, and still came back to insult me.
I didn’t expect you to do anything else.
from Carly's platform she would vote for less than maybe 20% of what boxer would. Carly will vote to fund the military boxer will not, carly will vote for tax cuts and pro business bills Boxer will not, carly will vote for pro-gun and pro-life issues Boxer will not.
I doubt that carly is a tax and spend liberal on fiscal policy. She is less likely to vote for amnesty since the poll came out showing CA voters faover AZ law.
Will Carly be a 110% Conservative in office No but she will also not be a 75% liberal/marxist.
for you to think so shows your lack of thinking on this issue.
Clearly Palin's endorsements are influencing elections--one only need look at the recent Senate primary in California for an excellent example--and it would be dishonest to suggest that it's not influencing the Senate primary in Arizona.
McCain has spent the better part of the last nine months attempting to remake himself as a conservative, particularly after that Rasmussen poll in Nov. 2009 that put him in an effective dead heat with the then-prospective candidate Hayworth. His attempts would not have been nearly as successful as they have been without the full-throated endorsement and support of Palin.
Considering it comes from the MSM and Newsweek, I actually think it’s reasonably fair. Liberal America is always in need of a tour guide and cheat sheet when it ponders Evangelical America, and this article delivers some real 411 for such readers. The woman continues to demand serious attention and this is a serious effort on the part of a Newsweek writer on religion.
then instead of understanding that post you attack me. you are about as informed and worth talking to as a ton of bricks.
What private information?
And the bigger question--why were you stalking me?
Dang it, I wanted to make fun of that one and you beat me to the punch.
:-)
Let's just say the doughy one hyperventilates and gives into hyperbole a lot.
He thinks people are hitting his links because of our conversation here......

Thanks for the response. I agree with some of what you said, and even the parts I don’t, I think there’s something to lofting those arguments even if they don’t win me over.
Look, I’m no fan of Huckabee, but saying he even comes close to a man that could do the things McCain has done, is a severely low blow. I don’t agree with that. And so when you try to tie Hunter to doing something similar to what Palin is doing in Arizona, I see it in shades of gray rather than the black and white with McCain vs Hayworth.
I would have held my nose and voted for Huckabee. There wasn’t a chance in hell I’d vote for a man that would team up with the people and support the things John McCain has.

Few of us need to be reminded of the fraud McCain is. But if the people who are most familiar with McCain- AZ voters- are dumb enough to vote for him after all he's done to kick conservatives, one, they're morons, and two, JD was the wrong candidate.
Tell me, do you think JD will blame Palin if he loses? I bet ya he won't.
so true.
Hmmmm....this is a Palin thread---I help manage the FR Palin PING list---you show up to trash her---I respond----and then accuse me of stalking you?
I fail to see how that post is anti-Palin or her supporters. Perhaps you should ask the person who made the quote to clarify?
"Were" is past tense.
