Palin pushes Dobson over the edge

Christianity Today September 4, 2008

Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has Focus on the Family founder James Dobson on her side.

“A genuine reformer. A deeply committed Christian,” are Dobson’s words.

On a Focus Action radio broadcast, Dobson said Palin has helped change his mind on McCain.

“If I went into the polling booth today, I would pull the lever for John McCain,” he said.

Gary Bauer, Tony Perkins, Kelly Shackelford, and Tom Minnery also expressed unanimous support for McCain and Palin.

“I don’t remember this kind of electric moment since I went to the inauguration of Ronald Reagan,” Dobson said.

This is seven months after he said he would not vote for John McCain.
