HG, do you think it might be more of a yearning for a return to tradition values than idol worship?
Yes, parents are responsible for raising their children properly and a kid's role model should be the parent(s). Yet with all the world's diversions isn't it better that we have people like Sarah Palin to counter the Tiger Woods, Madonnas and Clintons?

I can understand some folks going overboard in their support of Palin.
That's one of her strong points, she fires folks up and many are enthused by that.

But to start slobbering over her daughter as some future "great leader"
when we don't even know if the kid can count to ten is just plain STUPID.
