" Gov. Palin is simply staying above the fray "

Yes, she is staying above the fray without getting down and dirty in the mud and the arguments of the issue and on the same token, she has brought it to the forefront.
She handed it back to the people and let the people argue the merits of the arguments.
She is giving answers like how Jesus gave answers to the Pharisees when they tried to get him in a " GOTCHA " moment...
Remember when the Pharisees caught the woman in adultery and tried to trick Jesus with the question what to do with this woman caught in adultery ?
He knew, that, if he said to let her go, he would be violating the law of Moses to stone her.
If he said, stone her, he knew they would go to the Roman authorities, they were not allowed to condemn someone without the Roman authorities approval.
Jesus said " he who is without sin, cast the first stone "
I believe that Sarah Palin is being guided by the hand of God..... she has some great wisdom.

Liberty, you need to see post 75. I think you need to resist the temptation to be offended, and resist the temptation to be afraid.
