This writer expresses well what I've been feeling. From HERE:

If Palin were an eminently qualified candidate, steeped in policy and capable addressing the intricacies of the current economic crisis, I would probably focus on her religion to the extent that she believes it should be fused with government, whether end-times beliefs inform her foreign policy (if she has one), how she might bring creationism-loving political appointees to the Department of Education, or push pro-abstinence-only, anti-choice regulations to the Department of Health and Human Services, for example.

But Palin's vacuousness on any substantive questions point to a more -- pun intended -- fundamental concern. Given that many of her followers believe Palin is anointed by God, and she said in her 2008 Wasilla Assembly of God speech that she believes in the spirit of prophecy and revelation, you've got to wonder how much that, in her mind, is a substitute for facts, analysis, and policy-making. It might very well explain why she acts so confident despite her utter lack of preparation to be vice-president of the United States. And that is one hell of a scary faith-based initiative.
