Dr. Dobson is coming around....

Most bloggers and readers I know don't really care what Dr. James Dobson thinks, but you are being politically naive to think that his opinion doesn't matter. Among evangelicals, it matters a great deal. These religious values voters (of which I am one) pay a great deal of attention to respected leaders like Dobson. So this is significant when it comes to the crucial votes we need to win this thing:

"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."
.......

There's nothing dishonorable in a person rethinking his or her positions, especially in a constantly changing political context," Dobson said in a statement to the AP. "Barack Obama contradicts and threatens everything I believe about the institution of the family and what is best for the nation. His radical positions on life, marriage and national security force me to reevaluate the candidacy of our only other choice, John McCain."
