Where she was saved

The church where Sarah Palin grew up and was baptized preaches some of the most extreme religious views in the nation.

    We can't bait them on this issue

    There is no more radical, fundamental church/pastor than Rev Wright. It is a mistake to focus on her church, or imply that because her church is extreme, she is extreme "de facto". To do so begs the issue that if this is the case then, since Obama's church is clearly extreme, even considered racist at some levels, then "de facto" he is as well. This campaign has been peeing down its leg since Palin was announced and this type of focus just makes the stain more visible.
