Republican presidential candidate John McCain picked Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate after conservatives threatened a revolt if he went with his first choice, former Democratic Senator Joe Lieberman.
Senator McCain has defended his choice of Ms Palin to run for vice-president after news of her 17-year-old pregnant unmarried daughter dominated day one of the Republican national convention in St Paul, Minnesota.
Now it has emerged that the shock announcement of the unknown Ms Palin was forced upon Senator McCain after conservatives threatened a revolt at the convention if he pushed ahead with his preferred vice-presidential pick, Independent and former Democrat Senator Joe Lieberman....

Is an “Rvangelical” an evangelical that dispenses prescriptions?

Now, that's how desperation looks like! A cold sweaty fear that, as an old adage goes, their failed kill just made Palin stronger.

Shovelan can either show us the sources for his article, or he can print a retraction. I refuse to take BS from the news media any longer. If he can’t do that, he should be ignored.

Clever and misleading juxtapositioning. Yes, the evangelicals revolted against the idea of Lieberman. But McCain then had various choices, Palin was in no way “forced” on McCain by the evangelicals. Few expected her selection.

I second your sentiment, but I wanted to be sure you knew that ABC = Australian Broadcasting Corporation in this case.

An “Rvangelical” is a Baptist with an RV.
