DENVER — Conservative Christian leader James Dobson has softened his stance against Republican presidential hopeful John McCain, saying he could reverse his position and endorse the Arizona senator despite serious misgivings.
“I never thought I would hear myself saying this,” Dobson said in a radio broadcast to air Monday. “… While I am not endorsing Senator John McCain, the possibility is there that I might.”

This doesn't surprise me with the radical positions Senator Barack Obama holds evangelicals are still left with a clear choice. I myself haven't endorsed McCain, but unless there was a viable third party candidate who could win I don't feel I have any choice but to vote for him. I'm sure Dobson and many evangelical leaders for whom life and family are still primary concerns it is time to look pragmatically at the General Election. During the primary elections we fight for principles, but while there is still clear choice between the policies of a center-right McCain and the policies of a far left Obama - one has to be pragmatic.
Dobson when on to say in his statement, "if this is a flip-flop, so be it." No Dr. Dobson, I think with many young evangelicals being duped by Senator Obama, it is the only responsible position.

I'm glad to hear that news. The primary reason that I will definitely vote for McCain is the pro-life issue.
