You’ve already read in this space how a Pentecostal pastor from Kenya prayed over Sarah Palin to protect her from witchcraft. Now, on these shores, Americans are praying to protect the GOP VP nominee from electoral defeat.

The folks over at PrayforSarahPalin.com seem pretty confident that the Alaska governor is headed for the vice president’s mansion on Embassy Row: “Please commit to pray for Sarah Palin and the others who are or will be leaders in our country.” Notice they didn’t say “could be” or “might be” but “will be.”

Perhaps they know something the rest of us don’t.

But here’s my favorite part: The site features a map with little yellow markers that designate all the zip codes where people are praying for Palin. Yet the map doesn’t show Alaska (or Hawaii). So that would seem to indicate that folks in the Great White North either:

a) don’t care

b) aren’t praying that she’ll win so she’ll return to Juneau, or

c) are too busy out field-dressing a moose.
