Sarah Palin Will Win Over Evangelicals

John McCain is not a heavy favorite among Christian conservative voters. I dare say Christian conservatives are having a hard time during this election season. Despite attempts to sway the conservative voters McCain in seen in many circles as more of a moderate conservative, and the Christian community historically doesn’t embrace lukewarm. Enter Sarah Palin as the Vice presidential candidate to McCain’s White House bid.
Palin is a just what the doctor ordered for McCain. Conservative Christians would say the 44-year-old devout born-again evangelical and mother of five is answered prayer and she may well be for McCain’s campaign.
Palin chose to have her fifth child even though she knew the child would be born with Down’s syndrome. This act alone reinforces her stance on abortion and speaks volumes to the Christian Community. I suspect protestant preachers all over America were singing her praises to their congregations on Sunday and at least for now, gave them a reason for hope in this election. Strategically this is a brilliant move on the part of the McCain campaign as evangelicals everywhere will throw their support to the GOP.
