    Just one other thing...

    I've noticed many commenters here lamenting that Palin, should she become Vice-President, would use her office to shove her fundamentalist beliefs down America's collective throat.

    My question is this: What is the basis for this belief? Does anyone have any evidence of her attempting this in her position as Governor? I have not seen nor read of any attempts by her to push creationism is schools, abolish abortion, or any other thing that people are warning us she would do.

    So, anyone, where is the evidence that she would push for her personal beliefs to become law? If you have no evidence, then your assertions are simply fear-mongering, something which you consistently charge the right with doing in this country.

    Evidence? And please cite something other than DailyKos or the Huffington Post...
