Its just like Hillary's base that at first would not support Obama which is now pushing their support his way. This is just a BS story to make McCain lool like he has all these ties now to Evangelicals.

I agree, FD, that there's not much to this--all politicians do things like this to appeal to voters.

I do wonder, though, if there's going to be a serious debate among republicans after the election (if Obama wins). Conservatives like David Brooks have been very down on Palin and the rhetoric of this repub campaign. I think many fiscal conservatives may be getting tired of being yoked to the social conservative position. Plus, the Atwater/Rove attack style may be questioned, though I doubt that will have much impact.
