I like Chris Matthews and respect his opinions but this is too hard to believe.

MSNBC: Chris Matthews “Palin Is For Real”

FTA:
To a smaller number, she is a prophet, ordained by God for a special role in the cosmic battle against the forces of evil.
'Saint' Sarah Palin cover gets evangelical critic's beat down
Ow! Ow! One of the crew of media critics at Get Religion has whacked Newsweek's Saint Sarah Palin cover by Lisa Miller to smithereens.
By the time Sarah Pulliam Bailey, an editor for Christianity Today and one of the writers for Get Religion, was done laser highlighting massive holes in Miller's reporting, unfounded assumptions in the writing, and the lack of authoritative sourcing all around, you almost felt sorry for Miller.
Almost.

How Sarah Palin Is Reshaping the Religious Right - Newsweek

Newsweek Cover Paints Sarah Palin As A Prophet
“Even if she never again seeks elected office, her pro-woman rallying cry, articulated in the evangelical vernacular, together with the potent pro-life example of her own family, puts Palin in a position to reshape and reinvigorate the religious right, one of the most powerful forces in American politics. The Christian right is now poised to become a women’s movement—and Sarah Palin is its earthy Jerry Falwell.”
In essence, the article claims that Palin is doing something that has never been accomplished before by combining evangelical Christianity and modern feminism, and using the mash-up as a tool to (in Palin speak) “shore up” the traditionally weak female front of the religious right.
Feminist blog Jezebel is less than pleased with the discussion of Palin as a new feminist leader, comparing her affinity for the term “feminism” to a half-masticated banana chunk being repeatedly picked up and dropped by a greedy dog – confusing in summary, scathing in full.
Whether Palin’s influence is as powerful as Newsweek claims, the female presence in Republican politics has never been stronger – there are reportedly 96 Republican women looking to claim House seats this year, and conservatives Nikki Haley and Carly Fiorina each won their respective gubernatorial and Senate primaries.
