Palin has put support for creationism among GOPleaders on the media and public agenda. Everywhere in the news, GOP officials are being asked their position on the matter and in their replies they are sending the strongest of signals to a partisan public that support for creationism is part of the GOP DNA.

From a Washington Post article on how Palin is energizing the Evangelical base, Cathie Adams, the Texas GOP national committeewoman describes why she thinks Palin is so exciting:

Cathie Adams, Texas’s incoming national committeewoman, said she is elated to have someone like herself running for one of the nation’s highest offices. “It’s very exciting to have a person who holds the faith,” Adams said after arriving in St. Paul. “I’m sure this is a woman who believes, as I do, let’s present evolution and creationism on a level playing field, because when that happens, we know education is happening, not brainwashing, not politics in the classroom.”
