We know that she's opposed to abortion. We know that she's personally religious. But she vetoed some kind of anti-gay legislation because if conflicted with the Alaska constitution and she's made no efforts to promote creationism or suppress sex ed.
So although she appeals to a socially conservative base, are you really sure that you are categorizing her correctly? Palin and Huckabee?

Well, I'll retract that comparison. But I still strongly dislike her. I just think she's dumb (and possibly very much so) and because of that her running would have the same effect on the fiscal minded, better educated part of the party as running someone who is purely a social conservative. On the other hand I think Huckabee is essentially a big government democrat who just also happens to be a fundamentalist baptist. The big plus is that I think she and Huck will both run for president in 2012 and hopefully split the same part of the base and make room for Romney (who would have been a winning candidate this year and still will in 2012) to get the nomination.
