If the NPR people were right, then she is for the social conservatives and evangelicals, he is for the "moderates" and undecided.

Whether that will hold up or not in the voting booth, I don't know. It doesn't seem like it should if there is a strong, focused ad campaign against it, and that is what the Obama people seem to me to do very well. They'll have to get rid of the "50 state" thing they were talking about before, but that will be a small concession. With McCain throwing over Republican congressional incumbents, there doesn't seem to me to be much upside in running a 50 or even a 40 state campaign anyway. I can see how he could have long coattails.

This is becoming probably the most interesting race I've seen.

. . . unless she softens that evangelical conservatism.

My guess is she will do that. I remember Reagan would find all sorts of ways to, wink, wink, offer moderate lines while satisfying the farthest right. The most obvious and most telling was the opening of the campaign in Philadelphia, Mississippi.
