re: #37 OhCrapIHaveACrushOnSarahPalin

I think traditionalism is going to be her downfall.

Pentecostals and Charismatics (like the ORU-ites that gave her that J.D.) may have less of a problem with women’s leadership, but they are a minority among con Christian R-voters, and the SBC is the flagship denomination of the GOP. They can’t even deal with women’s ordination, and already Bryan Fischer is starting to get antsy about it.

They are on a serious, cultural collision course over gender. Good. But Bachmann’s the one it’s going to affect.

If I’m reading the signs correctly, though, Fischer almost immediately backtracked that with musings about how, if there IS no suitable man, God COULD anoint a woman…

Palin started it, but this sexy-madonna-candidate thing does seem to have a certain ongoing degree of pull.
