I don’t think creationism is, in and of itself, going to be an issue that costs the GOP the White House. I have no problem with it being taught in schools - in the proper place, sociology or comparative religions, not science.

Personally, I’d have no problem voting for someone with personal creationist beliefs as long as they don’t run their office as a pulpit (that is, I’d happily vote for Palin but I’d never vote for Huckabee.)

I regard the Church of Climate Change as much more frightening, and I’d never vote for a committed global-warmist.
