We have mega-congregations, neighborhood Bible churches and strip-mall chapels of love, but a good number of Alaskans still aren't in the pews on Sunday.
In fact, Alaska is one of the least religious states in the country, according to a study from The Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life.

Most pray at home - it's too cold to venture out for church. Only the really tough and rugged folks like Sarah and her husband dare to brave the elements. Fear Sarah the future v-pilf moose hunter.

I thought they were God fearing, FT....not snow fearing. The article is actually interesting and shows a variety of ways Alaskans express their religious or "spiritual" beliefs.
 
this thread is funny because we all know that Oprah can do any dam thing she pleases, and whatever it is it is going to inform and help others. she very well could decide to interview Palin but will probably wait until after the election. Palin is a very interesting woman no matter what side of the aisle you are sitting on. I would love to see her interview with someone as thoughtful as Oprah.

Please. It's her show- quit dissing Oprah as not being influential and you don't care, then whining when your candidate can't get airtime on her show.

(CNN)-The Florida Federation of Republican Women made the decision to boycott the Oprah Winfrey Show Saturday, after the media mogul refused to have Gov. Sarah Palin as a guest on her show until after the election wraps up.
"Women in Florida helped build Oprah into the icon she is today," Linda Ivell, President of the FFRW said in a statement. "We are deeply disappointed in Ms. Winfrey's decision to sit out the greatest political moment in the history of women since suffrage."
The talk show host denied accusations Friday, that she was even considering the vice presidential nominee as a guest.
"At the beginning of this presidential campaign when I decided that I was going to take my first public stance in support of a candidate, I made the decision not to use my show as a plat for any of the candidates," Winfrey wrote in a statement, responding to a story from The Drudge report claiming her staff was "sharply divided" on whether they should book the Alaska Governor.
Winfrey agreed Palin would be a "fantastic interview," but wouldn't invite her on until after the November elections.
The Florida Federation of Republican Women, the "largest political organization in Florida," celebrating the groups 58 year anniversary is also encouraging members to cancel subscriptions to O Magazine, Ivell said.

How is this the GREATEST political moment in the history of women since suffrage? There have been other woman vice presidential candidates! What am I missing?

I love how The Florida Federation of Republican Women are outraged. But they would also be the first to be outraged if Oprah invited her on and the interview didn't make Palin look like a saint!

Whatever.
 
it's amazing that the republicans here are shredding oprah because of who she chooses to have on her program. Seems to be SOP for the party. just slinging nasty comments like the party leaders.
palin seems better suited for the view, where hasselbeck can fawn all over her and probably cry.

They'll get over it. This is silly...one more non-issue. :roll:
