Another gem from that article:

"But Palin also is revered by the conservative base for her fierce opposition to abortion..."

What for? Don't conservatives realize that the vice-president has absolutely no power to do anything about abortion whatsoever?

Abortion isn't going anywhere in this country. Yet all a republican has to do is say the right things on that topic and all is right with the world for evangelicals. The thumpers had eight years of a pro-life president, and six of those years with a republican majority in Congress. What were they able to do about abortion? NOTHING.

Nevermind actual results -- just regurgitate the talking points.

Boy, talk about having a voting bloc in your back pocket no matter what.
