(that sounds a little vulgar).

Nice christian fundie like Rick? Reminds me a lot of her...not particularly bright, but bright enough to fool the rubes. Newt was the classic insider/TPTB that she's been railing against....kind of weird she'd endorse him.

Oh well, Palin's political arc must extend not much further than the outskirts of Wasilla now.

Those danged evangelicals are taking over. Santorum's brand of social conservatism never would have resonated in Alaska in the old days.

They care about fame and fortune. Mostly fortune.
