    None of this is specific enough to harm Sarah's campaign

    In the "Christian Spectrum" her church is Center-Right. We cannot call her a dominionist yet. She has not said or done anything dominionist, and that is a vague term anyway. She has not said anything hateful so far, e.g. against Gays.

    So far, if I must summarize, she seems unwilling to throw the first stone, because she knows she herself is not without sin. So far, we see no tendency to try to yank the sawdust from our eyes, because she knows she has her own optical two-by-four. Why do you think she wears those huge glasses?

    Wait and hear what she says. None of this general, theoretical stuff is sticking.
