James Dobson’s 180-degree turnabout on John McCain has God-o-Meter thinking: has the candidate who’s famously inept on religious outreach seen the light and picked up the phone to call Colorado Springs?
Dobson went a lot further than he needed to in his Obama-bashing broadcast yesterday. He could have bashed Obama and left it at that. But he spent roughly the last quarter of the show making a case–a qualified one for McCain. Would Dobson, who has probably set records for grudge-holding (he reportedly didn’t talk to best bud Gary Bauer for years after Bauer endorsed McCain in 2000), have so suddenly warmed to McCain without a good amount of wooing?
