A good game but forget my nails. My fingertips are gone. And I didn’t even care about it that much, except that I grew up in Pittsburgh and it’s a hard habit to break.

As for Palin, it’s not that she’s waffled so much as that she hasn’t said anything at all since she threw her hat into the national ring. Both of these quotes come from her 2006 gubernatorial race where she was playing to an exclusively Alaskan audience. Isn’t it curious that none of the “gotcha” interviews during the 08 election campaign asked her about it? If they were confident that she would have given even an equivocal answer, don’t you think they would have tried to nail her on that?

Please note the Alaska Republican Party Platform:

E. We support teaching various models and theories for the origins of life and our universe, including Creation Science or Intelligent Design. If evolution outside a species (macro-evolution) is taught, evidence disputing the theory should also be presented.
