It reveals why Sarah Palin was the logical choice of a party in the control of theocrats.

"A brave and resourceful reporter adept at turning over rocks that public-relations-savvy Christian conservative leaders would prefer remain undisturbed."<br>--Rick Perlstein, "New York Times Book Review"<br> <p><br> "When the Palin nomination was announced, hundreds of journalists descended on Anchorage and its northern suburb of Wasilla. A handful of serious expose pieces emerged in the process. But only one visitor up north came back with a bag of gold nuggets. His name is Max Blumenthal. Over the past several years, Blumenthal's work has focused on fringe groups on the right. He has excelled in covering political activism among evangelicals. His technique is simple: he confronts the subjects and lets them speak for themselves....Were it not for the determination and fearlessness of Max Blumenthal, we would now stand one week before the election largely ignorant of Palin's Christianist political theology."<br>--Scott Horton, "Harper's"
