Top Ten Power Brokers of the Religious Right

What will these pulpits be arranging to exploit the media popularity of Sarah Palin?
One thing was clear: Many in the Christian Right now view electing Palin as a task ordained by God.
The unanswered question for the rest of us is: How does Palin see herself? Is she someone who merely asks God for guidance — a fairly common practice for religious people in public office? Or does she see herself as carrying out God’s will on the political stage?
The latter would suggest a theocratic worldview that runs counter to the separation of church and state. But because she has so far declined most interviews, we’re left to sift through Palin’s political and religious history for clues.
