We know that McCain described the flag of Southern secession as a "symbol of heritage" that should be left to the state's to decide whether or not to fly it above their capitol.  He later admitted that this position was an "was an act of cowardice" and that he had "broke[n] [his] promise to always tell the truth" in order to try to "win the South Carolina primary" in 2000.

We also know that one of the key speakers at his convention, Mike Huckabee, said, "If somebody came to Arkansas and told us what to do with our flag, we would tell them where to put the pole; that's what we'd do."

What we don't know is how the Palin family feels about the issue.  We know that one member of her family considers himself a "f-ckin' redneck," while her husband twice registered for a political party espousing the secession of Alaska from the Union.

So where do McCain and Sarah Palin stand on the issue of the allowing states to fly the "rebel" flag?  I'm sure future equivocation will only endear the ticket to the conservative base, but I'm genuinely curious.
