Their Worst Nightmare

A: No, I don't think that it includes something that is relatively benign.  Explicit means explicit.  No, I am pro-contraception, and I think kids who may not hear about it at home should hear about it in other avenues.  So I'm not anti-contraception.  But yeah, abstinence is another alternative that should be discussed with kids.  I don't have a problem with that.  That doesn't scare me, so it's something that I would support also.

Reviewing answers like this, and the various things Palin has had to say about the life issues, assisted suicide, and similar matters, it’s pretty clear that it is not going to be easy for the Democrats to paint Palin as a cultural extremist or a “Christianist.”

As they review this record, the Democrats will find she is not who they hoped she might be. She is, for the most part, a social conservative with a soft touch—their worst nightmare.
