Not to worry, people are milking Palin's rich tapestry of peculiarities for all they are worth.

Nobody has touched on the inconsistency between the fundamentalism & libertarianism. In one case that matters, school vouchers, she stuck to libertarianism, opposing vouchers (which McNutty supports, naturally). A true libertarian would not, I think, push religious beliefs into a school curriculum (i.e., intelligent design, abstinence). Though you could also argue against vouchers as a wedge for the state to regulate religious institutions that are made eligible for vouchers.
