Evangelicals Energized by Selection of Palin for Veep

Breaking News:

Evangelicals energized by McCain-Palin ticket

Sarah Palin already has energized conservative religious leaders who had fretted that John McCain would pick an abortion rights supporter as his running mate. The Alaska governor was raised in a Pentecostal church and has called herself "as pro-life as any candidate can be."

Read the whole thing here.

Some newspapers are saying that Palin is an unknown to many voters and they don't know yet what to make of her. However, McCain's political base knows who she is and what she stands for. The result of this is that McCain, who has long been distrusted by the conservative base of the GOP, has undoubtedly enhanced the voter turnout in his favor. With Palin on the ticket, there will be fewer conservatives who opt to sit out the election and that means more votes for McCain.
