    It's amazing

    that some amongst us would consider her extreme religious views irrelevant. I doubt any of them would say the same if she belonged to an equivalent sect of another religion. So it isn't mecessarily about her beliefs per se, but that those beliefs drive her approach to governing, as corroborated stories about her in Alaska bear out.

    Most troubling about her, right now, is that she's not talking to the press, and that the McCain campaign is pushing the idea that the press is "unfair" to her, same old victim routine. No VP pick in history has been sequestered like this. It is BTW a perfect come-back to her supporters--why the secrecy?
