I’m not even going to address the “shallow” statement. Dead wrong there. But I will point out something you seem oblivious to. Palin is well respected among Christians. True. But she is NOT their preferred candidate.

It’s Huckabee.

The people supporting Sarah most strongly right now are disaffected conservatives, some libertarians, small government types. They represent the Tes Party movement. Guys like Dobson are in LOVE with Huckabee. They rejected Fred Thompson because he wasn’t outspoken enough or willing to use the government enough to their liking and than caused a fissure in the primaries leading to a split between Romney, McCain and Huckabee.

I see nothing that will change this anytime soon. Huckabee offers the same social positions Sarah does, but he promises the use of government to enforce them. She would be their second choice, but she is not their first.

Pray tell, who these Christians are and where one might find them?

Because I can't find hide nor hair of them where I live. We tend to recognize self-serving snake oil salesmen for what they are. And the Huckster and his clan carry more than a whiff of sulfur about them.

And Dobson is a real Christian? - He's an ecumenical, not a Christian. - Anyone that thinks Huck is any kind of Christian have no idea who Christ is.
