She found a sympathetic microphone in Dobson's studio. Let it not be said that Sarah Palin doesn't do the God talk as well as anyone, but -- to be honest -- that's not extremely hard to do.

Although, even in this interview, she screwed up a little bit, saying that John McCain supports the entire GOP platform -- he doesn't. Then again, the way he reverses position constantly, maybe he does. Who knows? Still, the last time anyone checked, he was against three of the planks:

The platform calls for a constitutional ban on gay marriage, an issue McCain says should be left to individual states. Similarly, the platform seeks a constitutional ban on all abortions; again, McCain supports allowing states to decide the question. McCain supports research using embryonic stem cells, which the platform opposes.

Palin called it a "strong platform" and told Dobson, "They are there, they are solid, we stand on them and, again, I believe that it is the right agenda for the country at this time."
