“Is Sarah Palin a Mormon?” Many Are Asking
Posted on August 29, 2008 by Dennis

Ever since I put up this post announcing McCain’s VP pick of Alaska governor Sarah Palin (just a couple hours ago), I’ve been surprised how many people are wondering if Palin is a Mormon.

Check out my search engine stats:

sarah palin mormon: 66 hits
sarah palin lds: 48
is sarah palin mormon: 14
is sarah palin lds?: 8
is sarah palin a mormon: 6
is sarah palin a mormon?: 6
palin mormon: 6
sarah palin, mormon: 5
sarah palin + mormon: 4
sarah palin. lds 2
sarah palin morman 2
sarah palin lds church 2
sarah palin, lds 2
sarah palin is a mormon 2
“sarah palin” mormon lds 2
is sarah palin lds 2
sara palin mormon 2
lds obama 2
sarah palin sarah palin mormon 2
palin mormon? 2
sarah palin religion mormon 2
mormon “sarah palin” 1
sarah palin the mormon 1
sarah palin + lds? 1
“sarah palin” momon 1

Clearly, I’ve become the official Sarah Palin Mormon link (especially after this post).

It’s amazing this many people are wondering. Perhaps because she was born in Idaho and attended the University of Idaho?

I’m not an expert on Palin’s religious life, but I will say I am confident that she is NOT a Mormon. She is a Protestant, a member of the Assemblies of God.

1. No. She's not.
My son was born in Idaho and my sister graduated from University of Idaho. Neither is Mormon. :D

she did want mitt romney as her candidate of choice and I wondered about that with all that so-called "Christianity" oozing out of pores.

10. I thought so when I saw her hair
She looked like those women from the Mormon cult that was recently busted. Although I guess it's more a sixties do.

The comb-over and the up-do.
