I don’t bank on Palin being able to separate church and state, I bank on the supream court to defend that right for me. But those who think that prayer/ church does not already play a role in congress are kidding themselves. The congress has a chaplain and a morning prayer amoung other things that intertwine the two.

Not sure what you mean by situation? The situation of being a devout Pentecostal? I try not to hold one’s religious beliefs against them. This can be especially hard for me as I am an atheist. Try as I might Romney’s religion was one thing that made me have a general negative view of the man. And I try not to hold Palin’s religious views against her.

Is it a factor - yes. But in the heartland of the US I think it will be a positive factor rather than a negative factor. And I think it Obama or Biden try to use her religion as a point of debate they will get raked over the coals for it.
