NPR just interviewed Dr. Margaret Poloma on how practices such as words of knowledge, prophetic ministry, or expectations of Holy Spirit outpouring may have influenced Palin's worldview. What is lacking from this discussion is
any framework on how we talk about the future. Jay Gary weighs in on what is missing...

When news broke that McCain had chosen a woman, Sarah Palin, an unknown Governor from Alaska, I scrambled to understand her relationship to Christianity. After eight years of a unpopular Evangelical in the White House, would Palin be a sign of that the Religious Right has a future? John Allen, Jr., an NCR senior correspondent, weights in on the subject, while I weigh the temperament that should guide the future leaders of the free world.
