Not sure what Lisa Landry is smoking, but Gov Palin is NOT a social moderate. She's anti-abortion even in cases of rape/incest. She has forced rape victims to pay for their own rape-kits used by police to collect evidence of the attack.
She's not fiscally conservative, as she left her home town indebted due to her incompetence. As mayor, she went ahead with the construction of a hockey arena before the city had secured title to the land, costing nearly $1.5 million over budget.
As governor, she cost the state millions keeping open a bankrupt state-run dairy that benefited her friends. She LOST money selling the jet, and while she didn't build the "bridge to nowhere", she did NOT return the $230+ million to the Federal treasury. She kept the money for her state. Her state has near the highest per-capita ear-marks in the country, a tradition she followed beginning as mayor of her small town when she hired a DC lobbying firm.
She's closely tied to Ted Stevens, (R-Indicted) Alaskan Senator, and she's taken $$ from the same construction firm that is tied to his corruption.
She's an EXTREME fundamentalist christian, and regularly has a minister pray over her in her church. This minister has led "witch hunts" (really driving women out of villages because he claimed they were witches) in his native land Kenya, and she proudly states his prayer helped in her election.
Her husband has been a member of, and she has given speeches to, a political group in Alaska that seeks to secede from the United States.
She didn't even have a passport until a couple years ago, and has been outside the continental US exactly once. Never met a foreign head of state until last week. She claimed Alaska did a great deal of trade with Russia, but they're not even in the top 20 of imports from/exports to Alaska.
If she's qualified for VP, Tina Fey is qualified for Pope.
