Palin's Beliefs v. Policy

Palin personally believes in creationism and no abortion, even under the most egregious circumstances.

She has never instituted any law in AK to foist those beliefs on the public.

When she finally (ever?) gives a real interview -and I am not talking about chatting about her adorable kids with the avuncular Charlie Gibson- she actually risks something that might surprise all of us. She might come off as a being just-another-Republican.

That would be the best thing to happen to us. That's what happened to Gerry "Now Completely Insane" Ferraro. She created a lot of excitement until she faded back into a general campaign that was going nowhere.

Does that make sense?
