Dr. James Dobson, who leads an army of an estimated 20 million evangelical Christians, 9 million of whom listen to his daily radio broadcast, has been highly critical of the Republican Party during Campaign '08 because of its tendency to put forth candidates who betray 'Reagan conservative' values.
The evangelical leader at one point stated flatly that he could not support candidates such as John McCain, Rudy Giuliani, and others, in spite of the fact that McCain is pro-life.
Dobson contended that McCain's stance on the other issues made him suspect.
However, this statement by Dobson says it all, in response to the addition of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin to the ticket:
'Now I will be pulling that lever.'
From what I'm hearing and reading, McCain has practically guaranteed the support of evangelical Christians with the selection of Palin. For the first time since the campaign began, the GOP base is actually excited and energized about this ticket.

Does Dobson think Palin will somehow become the President???? McCain is using her and she HAS NO EXPERIENCE. Dobson's narrow thinking is so dangerous. I use to respect him ~~ no more. So Palin is anit-abortion ~~ she doesn't seem to care that humans are destroying the earth ~ God's creation. Dobson doesn't seem to care either
I take it, Anon, that you don't think Obama is 'using' Biden? Or that Bush didn't 'use' Cheney?
Palin may well BE the next President, even if McCain serves out two terms in office.
And rather than humans destroying the earth, the history of the planet shows that there is more of a chance that the earth and its cousins in space will destroy US rather than the other way around.
Oh, and by the way, Anon, Palin has more administrative experience as a Governor than Barack Obama, who spent his entire first term in the Senate running for President.
It is Obama who should be feared when it comes to experience, of which he has precious little when it comes to an administrative office such as the Presidency.
