Love her or hate her, Alaska's Governor Sarah Palin has nearly taken over the Presidential Race. Obama can't stop talking about her, and McCain doesn't want her away from his side. Now, there are a host of possible explanations for those loose comments...
 The key questions revolve around Palin's significant impact on this race. Republicans are suddenly energized and Democrats are throwing darts her way at ninety miles per hour. But she is Super Woman, and the action figure proves it. Biden doesn't have one.
While many analysts claim the Palin nomination to be a brilliant political move on McCain's part, one can also assert that Republicans and Conservatives have bought into part of the left's feminist agenda and claimed the victory for their own. That can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on your perspective.
Maybe you missed it, but there's also the Pentecostal background of Palin that made news this week. Is speaking in tongues and baptism of the Holy Spirit strange to some Evangelicals as John Fea says? Fea expects the GOP to keep the Pentecostal explanations out of speeches. Maybe the Dems have other plans.
