Palin says election result rests in God's hands

DENVER (AP) — Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin describes herself as a "hard-core pro-lifer" and expresses confidence that in spite of disheartening polls, "putting this in God's hands, that the right thing for America will be done at the end of the day on Nov. 4."

In an interview with evangelical leader James Dobson that aired Wednesday, Palin said she thought Republican presidential candidate John McCain would implement the GOP platform if elected — "I do, from the bottom of my heart" — but McCain doesn't support the platform on three issues important to evangelicals: abortion, gay marriage and embryonic stem cell research.

The Alaska governor talked by phone with Dobson for about 20 minutes Monday while she was in Colorado campaigning. Dobson's Focus on the Family radio program aired the interview Wednesday.

Dobson asked whether Palin was discouraged by polls showing the GOP ticket behind.

"To me, it motivates us, makes us work that much harder," Palin said. "And it also strengthens my faith, because I'm going to know, at the end of the day, putting this in God's hands, that the right thing for America will be done at the end of the day on Nov. 4. So I'm not discouraged at all."

1. Sorry, Sarah.
I think God has another plan.

2. I hope she's right about God
but not in the way she thinks she is.

3. apparently, on Nov 5, 2008, she's gonna
get on stage and tell the world that God has done his work and she'll accept whatever the outcome is.

Otherwise, she's lying big time, and as my mom always said, "you can go to hell for lying too".

4. I wonder...
should Obama go on to win on Nov. 4, will she accept that her god wanted Obama to be president? Or did Satan win that round?

6. I really hope that is the official Republican strategy.
If they really are counting on an imaginary man to help them win, then that's great news.

7. Indeed, the right thing will be done in America on Nov. 4
But I don't think the results will be particularly pleasing to Mrs. Palin.

8. So that's why she now supports Obama.
She supports the 'right thing being done' on November 4th, which, of course, is successfully electing Barack Obama as President of the United States. Amen. O8)

10. They will spin an Obama win as the start of the End Times
It'll be God's way of protecting the USA from having its President (and VP!) raptured into heaven, leaving us with Nancy Pelosi to lead us. (Even if Pelosi is replaced, the Speaker will still be a Dem; no word on how that would be worse than Obama.)

11. Palin says she has faith that God will guide the outcome
. . .she'll have to live with that outcome (judgment).
