But Rich goes even further than that, plotting a would-be Palin presidency after McCain passes away in the novel. And although it’s fiction, Rich is dead serious about what a Palin presidency would mean for the country. As the title suggest, Rich is concerned about how religious extremists on the right could upend society.\" -- Patrick Gavin - Politico\u003cbr\u003e\"Well written and persuasive…For those who might enjoy a work that entwines political, legal and religious themes, \u003cem\u003eChristian Nation\u003c\/em\u003e is a worthwhile read.\" -- Pittsburgh Post-Gazette\u003cbr\u003e\"The scariest thing about \u003cem\u003eChristian Nation\u003c\/em\u003e is that it’s so plausible.
