Palin: The Election is “All in God’s Hands”
Dobson, one of the nation’s foremost evangelical leaders, told Palin that he was “asking for God’s intervention” and praying “for a miracle in regard to the election this year.”
The GOP Vice-Presidential nominee said that she gains strength from the supporters she meets on rope lines at campaign events, “I can feel the power of prayer, and that strength that is provided through our prayer warriors across this nation. And I so appreciate it.”
The interview focused almost entirely on religion and Palin told Dobson that her “Christian faith” is her “foundation” and that in regard to the outcome of the election it is “all in God’s hands.”
Dobson has been very critical of John McCain even saying publicly that he would not vote for the GOP nominee. However, he has expressed his support for McCain’s choice of Palin.
Dobson asked Palin about her private conversations with McCain and if he would implement the Republican platform, which is more conservative than 2004’s platform. She said that from the bottom of her heart she was very confident that he would implement the platform.
Dobson praised Palin on her opposition to abortion rights and the Alaska Governor responded describing her long-standing anti-abortion stance, ‘I’ve always had near and dear to my heart, the mission of protecting the sanctity of life, and being pro-life, a hardcore pro-lifer.”
Dobson reminded Palin that he sent her a letter after her infant son, Trig was born saying the baby’s birth was “a powerful testimony” to the “sanctity of human life.” Trig was born 6 months ago with Down Syndrome.
She told Dobson that Trig’s birth was “an opportunity for me to really be walking the walk, and not just talking the talk” on her opposition to abortion.

God is even voting for Sen Obama.
Its sooooooooooooooooooooo over!!!!!
NO WAY, NO WAY, NO MCCAIN/palin
TODAY IN NEWS: Al Qaeda Terrorists endorse McCain, because they fill McCain will hurt the American Military and American Economy the most. McCain trys to take Freedom of the Press away from the press by dictating what NBC should and should not broadcast. Alaska investigating Sarah Palin once again, this time over Travel Expenses for her daughters to see their dad at Snowmobile Races. McCain’s Campaign low on money, after Palin spreads the wealth by going on a Spending Spree for new Clothes. Sarah Palin avoids questions from the press, but talks to elementary students and becomes confused when a 3rd Grader asks her what a Vice President does. Republicans expect to loose several seats in the Senate and House of Repesentatives due to lack of support for their party. Obama ahead by 9% in the Polls and Majority of Americans feel that Obama is the best to solve the problems we face. Joe the Plumber still hasn’t met John McCain, Joe still refuses to campaign for McCain, and says he will not endorse McCain! ALL OF THIS IS TRUE! IT’s THE REAL NEWS TODAY!!!
Well, actually the voters get to decide this one. God doesn’t belong to a political party. Guess those God-hating Democrats might get to make the choice–oh dear! Let’s please leave God out of politics. All it does is make people more angry and causes our nation to spiral downward. Keep God in your personal life. Pray, do good works, help your neighbor, support charities, but don’t politicize God.
Good Lord. I guess Obama/Biden don’t have anything to worry about then.
If God can use Moses to conquer Pharoah, we can conquer the media bias. Work the GOP Victory Centers my fellow Christians and pray before you make calls.
Sarah, pay the Alaskan people back. You squandered taxpayer money by flying your children around on vacations at the expense of the Alaskan people. PAY THE MONEY BACK.
Buckley, Powell and 17% of Republicans are right. Republicans for Obama!
http://www.republicansforobama.org/
Sarah, you claimed that you and McCain would clean up Wall Street by preventing them from squandering money from the working class. Perhaps you should clean up your own street by paying back the money that you owe the Alaskan people when you had them pay for your children’s vacations over the years. PAY THE MONEY BACK.
A lot of people are praying for Obama which might explain why he’s leading in the polls right now.
Sarah Palin is an inspiration to so many women facing difficult choices when deciding on the Sanctity of Life of the Unborn. What child of ANY WOMAN’S body does not have the right to life?
We are so grateful to have Sarah Palin on the GOP ticket.
Donna Allen
I am so happy to see these types of discussions taking place in regards to our election. Prayer is a powerful tool; one my family and I are using often. Thank you, Governor Palin for letting your light shine! McCain and Palin are a MUCH better choice for our country than the alternative.
McCain/Palin ‘08
Jesus was a socialist
This is why I’m voting for McCain/Palin! They may not be perfect, but then who is, but they at least believe in God.
It is in the peoples hands, until GOP gets control over the votes
It is in the peoples hands, until GOP gets control over the votes
So talking the talk and walking the walk translates as keeping your children ignorant about sexuality (perhaps her daughter doesn’t how how she became pregnant) and forcing them to do what you preach about rather than considering or asking them what would be the best thing for them to do. Pul-lease! This women isn’t qualified to be a parent much less Vice President of the United States.
This article confirms what the majority of people realize:
Palin = Bush with earings !!
Lets see, i use my hand to pick up the pen, i use my other hand to hold the paper, then use the pen to check on the paper, omg i did it
Sarah Palin is a breath of fresh air!
We women need to stand united together even through our differences.
It’s taken so many years to get a woman on the ticket for the US Presidency, and here we have one who is qualified, smart, and has integrity! (The questions she’s been asked are so unfair - the media would have never asked that of a man running for VP).
Why do so many feminists have a problem with her!?!
The fact that she’s pro-life doesn’t “set women back”. I applaud her for her position on abortion. I, too, believe in the sanctity of life.
I don’t think she or I are judging anyone who isn’t pro-life, and you shouldn’t judge her because she is. It’s a personal decision for each woman. Sarah Palin is not the first woman to be pro-life and she won’t be the last.
I have many friends who are pro-choice, but that doesn’t make them my enemy and vice versa. We can see past our differences and accept each other for our many other qualities.
The bottom line is we all have the FREEDOM to make that choice - be it pro-life or pro-choice. And I don’t think Sarah is going to try to take that away from us. It’s just where she stands on the issue. She doesn’t waiver about her beliefs and you have to admire her for her honesty!
Stand United Women of America and get behind an amazing woman!
Obama states he is a Christian and says there are many ways to heaven. A Christian knows there is only one way to heaven and God and that’s through JESUS CHRIST. Obama doesn’t know the definition of a Christian much less be one.
Does that mean that if Obama wins, then God wanted him to win, or God wants McCain to lose?
All of you evangelicals should answer this question–if Obama wins the election, does that mean God chose him over McCain?
Thank God for a leader who supports life, marriage, and Biblical views.
People really do need to get all the facts. It is a unbelieveable that main stream media can cause their opinions to be portrayed as news. And, the Constitution lets them get away with such a terrible thing. We need to change this somehow.
This is not 2000 or 2004 Palin, this time it is in the hands of the people, get out and VOTE !!!!!
Palin is a great hope for America. I do not know any other candidate that is this strong morally.
Everyone I know and all through the state as I drive from town to town, I see McCain-Palin placards in people’s front yards. She has the right perspective and holds to the very essence of what made this country great!
So great and such an uplifting person James Dobson is…
Satan will probably have him and Falwell share a room.
God bless Sarah Palin and God bless American.
Eventhough I am for Obama, and by the way I am a Christrian, she is right. It is in God’s hands.
I won’t even touch this one ………too easy!!
Palin: The Election is “All in God’s Hands” Governor Sarah Palin: That is the most profound and honest statement anyone has made this year. AMEN.
Remember: We will be praying for you.
Dave from MD.
Prayer warriors? Power of Prayer? All in God’s hands?
Meanwhile Obama is talking about Voter Registration, actually going to vote, and putting it all in the Voter’s hands. Things that ACTUALLY affect the outcome of the election.
Good luck with those prayers. Maybe you can throw a few nods out toward your future political career? It could sure use a bit more reassurance right now.
So if Obama wins, it’s because God wanted him to?
If we truly have free will, then the election is in the hands of the people who choose to vote Mrs. Palin, not in “God’s hands”. I’d prefer to think that if God exists, such a being is far beyond earthly American politics. And the birth of a child with down syndrome is a true testament to what often happens when women in their mid-40s have children. This is a scientifically proven fact. But Mr. Dobson probably doesn’t like science very much.
Governor Palin is exactly correct on this: The election is “ALL IN GOD’S HANDS”. That is the most honest and profound statement this year. Amen.
Note to Governor Palin: We will be praying for you and John.
Love Palin!!!!!!!
Isn’t the election in the peoples hands?
The gravity of how this election results will affect America seem to have been lost on people who profess to be Christians. If you check your bible (and really believe what it says), it calls upon His people to seek first His kingdom and all things will be added unto you. Voting for pro-choice pro-gay marriage candidates is putting America in direct confrontation of the bible. God is completely capable of changing the economics of the world - His willingness to do so will depend on His people putting His supporters in charge of the Nation. God help the voters to make the right choice here.
Are you guys really going vote for this idiot? Actually, looking at the latest polls, no.
Even God doesn’t her running things!
It is so good to see others who take their role as a prayer warrior seriously. We who understand the enormity of the situation should be fighting this fight on our knees and praying for God’s mercy and intervention. It is so refreshing to hear believers stand up for what’s right and not back down even when it’s not popular or viewed as “tolerant”. We must not become apathetic!
I think Sarah Palin is the perfect selection for Vice President, she is very smart, she has class and she knows where she is going. I agree with her when she says it is in God’s hands about the election, I feel God would not let us down and put someone in the White House that could not protect us and guide our nation in the right direction. That someone is John McCain and I tink God knows that. And for all of these so called women libbers, you are just jealous because Sarah can do it all and do it in a very classy way. I do pray every night for Senator McCain and Sarah Palin. And I hope against hope that the American People will do the right thing on November 4th.
My prayers have been with the McCain/Palin Campaign. I know God is in control and I truly believe that if God allows Senator Obama to be our next President, that will be God’s judgement on this nation. We must not give up praying for God’s intervention and also praying for Sen. Obama and Sen. Biden. God can change their hearts and He loves them too. No matter what the outcome, God is in control. Do we really have a right to ask God for His blessing when we have blasphemed Him and made him unwelcome? We need to stand and take back our country for God.
I agree..Well said Palin …..we love you… and Pray for you…….
This has nothing to do with God. It has everything to do what the people of America. But just for kicks if Obama wins, will Palin still say that God chose him since it is in God’s hands
GO SARAH!!!
You could not have said it better!! It is in God’s hands!!!
I just responded to you about Sarah Palin, what happened to it.
Its all in Gods hands? God doesnt want this mess.
I wonder if this means God will take control of peoples minds and change them to vote for McCain.
I think since Palin has been charging the state of AK for all those travel expenses for her kids, God may not help them to much.
Sarah,
When two or more gather and agree…
We stand in agreement with you! On that you can rely! As Matthew 18:19 reminds us…When ever there are two or more on earth in agreement…He is there. He stands over us and His work He will perform.
Reader, won’t you also post your agreement here? I encourage you to do so!
Palin is right. If Obama is elected, I’ll be completely convinced it’s the end of days.
Mr. Dobson:
My father does not root for any particular sports team, nor does He take sides when it comes to your politics. He certainly would not takes sides with either candidate this year, especially Mr. McCain’s based on his very un-Christian like behavior. Sorry, it is in the hands of the American people.
Best regards, J
I too pray that McCain/Palin will win the Presidential/Vice President of the United States…”in God We Trust”. I respect Sarah Palin for expressing her beliefs in God. We have freedom of religion in our great country…and freedom of speech, even for Christians.
lets hope God is not to busy to listen…..
what a joke!
it makes me wonder if Obama wins (and i hope he does) what message is he sending to Palin and the religious right?
She’s right.
Romans 13:1 NIV
for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.
Hey FOX, you forgot the part when she said that God will make the right choice for the election on Nov 4. I think thats a big thing to leave out of an article. But I am sure you will not let this get on to your website
And if the Dems win? Will the evangelical prayer warriors of this nation be willing to admit that it was also God’s will? Will they fall in line then behind Obama/Biden. Or are they so full of ego and pride that they think that whatever THEY want is God’s will? The Republicans do not have a monopoly on God. All of us Americans - Joe the Plumbers, Habib the Gas Station Owner, Radiyah the Hairstylist and Jose the Gardner - all pray to God and are hoping that He makes the best decision for our country’s future. Whatever the outcome may be, I hope we all have enough faith in HIS decision (and don’t think that WE know better than HE) and support the next President.
I agree with Palin’s comment that this election is in God’s Hands. For those who haven’t I would encourage you to read the entire interview she had with Dr. Dobson. It was was outstanding. In the meantime; I’ll keep praying and resting in God’s promises to be with us always.
Please post the comments, editor.
I do believe it is in God’s hands without a doubt - The Christian believers are praying for God’s will in the election -
Is there anyone reading this wondering why many people find religion a bunch of hooey? Honestly, do you think God is going to rig the election? If so, I don’t want to hear anyone on the right talking about how the so-called media elite elected Obama. By Dr. Dobson’s and Palin’s account, it will be God’s doing.
We are certainly praying for God’s will to be done in this election.
I also believe that this election is in God’s hands. My family has been praying that God puts the right team in the white house, the two people best able to preserve our values in this country. We believe that is McCain and Palin and as I always believe God does what is best for us all the time, regardless of rather we think so or not. So no matter what happens we have to trust in God and know that he is in charge.
Sarah Palin’s lavish ELITIST shopping spree must be “in God’s hands” too!
We are with you, Sarah. We pray for you and John McCain to be successfull and you will get our vote.
We are sick of the Media, therefore don’t believe or trust anything they report. We make up our own minds by what we feel to be right.
Good luck to McCain/Palin.
lets hope God is not to busy to listen……what a joke!
makes me wonder if Obama wins (and i hope he does) what message is God sending to Palin and the religious right ?
Just what we need; another religious lunatic in office.
GO SARAH!!!
You are the person we need in Washington, God is in control!!!
Go McCain & Sarah!!!
I CANNOT BELIEVE SHE TALKS SO MUCH ABOUT BEING A CHRISTIAN WALKING THE WALK WHEN YOU SEE HER WATCHING THE DEBATES IN TWO DIFFERENT BARS.ALSO BEING FOUND GUILTY OF ABUSING POWER AND USING ALASKA GOVERMENT TO PAY FOR HER TRIPS FOR HER CHILDREN. THE 150,000 THE REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN SPENT ON HER CLOTHES IS A JOKE! SHE CAN’T WEAR HER OWN CLOTHES,OR DOES SHE HAVE TO KEEP UP WITH CINDY MCCAIN AND WEAR DESIGNER CLOTHES. ITS FUNNY HOW SHE CAN USE GOD WHEN SHE WANTS TO BUT SEEMS TO IGNORE HIM THE REST OF THE TIME!!!!!!
We certainly need God’s help with this election. If American people continue to leave God out of their decisions. USA will be in deep trouble.
Many people believe the USA is no longer a Christian Nation…
It’s about time someone who has character, is authentic and is not afraid to put trust in God is running for high public office in this country.
Since politicians took God (prayer) and the pledge to our flag out of schools, violence and guns have entered.
Does that tell us something????
I have never been more afraid of the results of an election until this one, and I am 71 years old.
I agree with Sarah Palin it is in God’s hands. We pray, he listens, and then he decides what’s to become of this sinful country.
So, if McCain and Palin lose the election, does that mean God hates Republicans? I’m not sure I would want to say it’s in Gods hands at this time. It might come back to haunt him.
It’s not in God’s hands, you mental midget
it’s in OUR hands
and you stink
McCain is going to win in November… people will realize that we cannot put someone as inexperienced as Obama in there.
wow. she is crazy. think of all of the other things that she will think are “in God’s hands…” the economy, the war… it is sooo scary to imagine that an appreciable number of people (some of them even educated… although probably very few) support this lady.
Trust in the Lord with all you heart and lean not on your own understanding.
After all he is the creator of the universe.
wow. she is a little off. think of all of the other things that she will think are “in God’s hands…” the economy, the war… it is scary to imagine that an appreciable number of people (some of them even educated… although probably very few) support this lady.
There will be an intervention, Obama will win.
Go Sarah go! We support you, thank God for you, pray for you and agree with you that truly the outcome of this election is in God’s hands. May He be very merciful to our nation.
Will she say the same thing if Obama wins?
Cripes. When did McCain fall for this Jesus freak. ‘In god’s hands”. The year is 2008 and McCain has chosen Creationist as his running mate. My god is the Great Cosmic Muffin and he assures me that he will ensure McCain will not be President because he’s the real god and is tired of Palin envoking the Jesus dude.
I am so glad that Dr. Dobson told Palin that he was “asking for God’s intervention” and praying “for a miracle in regard to the election this year.” I, too, have been praying for this miracle. This is the only thing that is right. Sarah and Todd Palin are amazing people and I am thrilled that McCain chose her. Now if the rest of the country will listen to God and not the liberal media . . . It is in God’s hands and we need a miracle.
I am so grateful that there is finally a candidate who speaks truth and stands by her word. It seems that the American people are mesmerized by Obama’s charisma and blind to his history which reflects judgment not encouraging the preservation of freedom which our forefathers fought for. I am an Independent and will vote my conscience.
When did the Christian Right kidnap the Republican party?? Its a shame that they and their candidates now feel like they have to bow down to that block of voters.
Well, here it seems to have back fired with Palin seen as the biggest drag on McCains campaign.
God likes the odds. Sarah is a miracle voice for righteousness in an unrighteous culture. You can count on one more petition to the almighty one in Jesus name.
Mt God is the Great Cosmic muffin and is more powerful than the Jesus dude. My god will humiliate Palin’s god on November 4th.
I am praying over and over for God to please present us with a miracle in this election. Sarah Palin is the type of person to stand up for our country in a Godly way. We desperately need the Lord in our country’s stance or we will fall further from His grace. Her Christian faith is evident in her actions and her words. With her, we know what we are getting. Thank you.
“She said that from the bottom of her heart she was very confident that he would implement the platform.”
Yay… four more years of fun.
I thank and praise God for Sarah Palin!!I would like for her to know that she has many prayer warriors on her side.This is her time!!!
Thank god for Sarah Palin!
She is right, its in Gods hands, and God is voting for Obama! Obama08! get used to it
Carol?
Capslock.
By the grace of God Senator John Mcain will be the next president of the United States of America, there is nothing any one can do about it. I had fasted and prayed for Senator John Mccain and Governor Sarah Palin for seven days. Our God has once confirmed that marriage is between a man and a woman. By the grace of God Senator Barack Obama and the Democrats have been held captive by God and will not occupy the White House for one score and sixteen years. A vote for Senator Barack Obama and the Democrats is a vote for homosexuals, abortion, and life not beginning at conception. Even in April of this year at the CNN Compassion Forum, Senator Hillary Clinton said she did not believe that God still talks to anyone, well, she was very wrong.
Senator John Mccain will win because he is prolife, anti-abortion and believes that life begins at conception. However, his support for evolution is wrong. Evolution is a mere theory. I do not hold that against him. As a preacher of personal responsibility, I judge right and wrong, and not opinions. On that Senator John Mccain and Governor Sarah Palin are wrong, but they will soon learn that evolution disrespects God as the Law-giver and Creator.
Let me assure Dr James Dobson that everything is going to be all right in Jesus Christ. Americans are looking for a miracle, they will get one on Tuesday, November 4, 2008. It is time for Americans to learn about the cosmic Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is alive.
PASTOR AUSTIN EGWUENU
So if Obama wins does that make God a socialist/Marxist???
God has decided - and OBAMA has won. Its clear as a bell.
Don’t the people get to vote?
