Fox news reported on December 14th that Sarah Palin's hometown church in Wasilla, Alaska was burned down by an arsonist with people - including two children - still inside. No one was hurt, but speculation is being made about the motives of the arsonist, particularly whether it was "as a result of 'undeserved negative attention' caused by her vice presidential campaign." Palin apollogized to the paster, who showed up just in time to see the entire church enfulged with smoke. It seems that the GOP excitment that Sarah Palin brought in is slowly being replaced by regreat, and in this case, violent actions.
Another interesting happening followed this same theme this week. McCain was asked byy ABC weather Palin could count on his support. In responce, McCain said "I can't say something like that. We've got some great other young governors. I think you're going to see the governors assume a greater leadership role in our Republican Party." The Palin bandwagon - assuming it existed - seems to be comming to a halt.

Ironically, I would say that this church burning is actually keeping the 'bandwagon' moving. As, they say in the buisness, any news is good news. This is the fisrt we have really heard about palin since she spent more on her clothes. Although this may be interpretted as people showing their disapproval of the governer, the only emotion I forsee coming from this event sympathy for Palin. Thus, Palin gets press coverage and sympathy from the masses. Talk about a back-'fire.'
