In regards to Palin's religious views, if it serves as a moral compass for her (or anyone else) who cares? Must we be atheists or agnostic to be leaders? I respect the fact that she believes in something, and actually lives by it rather than when convenient.

I'm curious, as someone rooted in science, how can you say Palin's views are not going to be pretty without factual data? What defines a pretty science position?

As for Obama, I hold is oratory skills in the highest regard. Like dmano, I'm still waiting for solid commitments on positions like energy, education, foreign policy, and the economy. Thus far, and with what limited decisions he's made, I remain unimpressed....
