Does it make a difference to you that Palin is Pentecostal?

Yes, He can just as He did with Pharaoh in Egypt. But that's hardly a reason to ignore the beliefs of candidates for office in a government that's suppose to represent us. God's will - permissive or otherwise - shall be done! But to advocate that it doesn't matter is to say we might as well not vote at all since God's will shall be done regardless. See what happens if we let Him chose the next President by those He sends to the voting booth while Christians stay unconcerned at home claiming it dosen't matter what the beliefs of our leaders might be. We've got to stop thinking that the "secular" activities of our life are somehow "off limits" to Christianity. We are Christians all day and all night long in all that we do. If we want a government that does it duty to us according to the values of Christianity then we'd better be concerned about the faith of the leaders we chose, better pray about it, and better get out to the polls to vote for those we want to entrust.
