Focus on the Family Action sent this around to supporters just before last night's Palin's speech:
Dr. Dobson: 'If I Went into the Polling Booth Today, I Would Pull the Lever for John McCain' ...."A genuine reformer. A deeply committed Christian."That's how Dr. James Dobson, founder and chairman of Focus on the Family Action, described Gov. Sarah Palin, who joined Sen. John McCain's presidential ticket Friday.
On a special Focus Action radio broadcast, Dr. 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.
Dr. Dobson applauded the Republican Party's strong platform plank against destructive embryonic stem-cell research, which uses much stronger language than in years past.
The broadcast also featured Gary Bauer, Tony Perkins, Kelly Shackelford and Tom Minnery, who 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," Dr. Dobson said.
Palin will speak at the Republican National Convention tonight at 10:30 EDT / 7:30 PDT. Most networks are expected to carry the speech live.
Next weekend, the action moves to Washington, D.C., for the annual Values Voters Summit. Confirmed speakers include Newt Gingrich, Lou Dobbs, Star Parker, Phyllis Schlafly, Bill Bennett, Chuck Colson and many more.
Palin and McCain have been invited to speak, as has Sen. Barack Obama
A remarkable turnaround from January 2007, when Dobson said: "I would not vote for John McCain under any circumstances."

Isn't he the same one who prayed for a rainstorm of great proportions to fall on Obama's acceptance speech? Did he read the quote from GOD in the Bible "DEPART FROM ME, I KNOW YOU NOT"?
As a born again Christian, I am so outraged at Right wing Evangelicals. They preach hate but yet Jesus is Love. They are false and hyprocrites. I cannot wait till judgement day when God will judge how these people really lived their lives. They are extremists and extremists groups should not be involved in politics or voting. If anyone watched the RNC, the take away from that convention was hate and fear. There was not one positive message in there but yet they call themselves christians?
Also how can you be pro-life but yet pro-guns and death penalty? I have never understood this hypocrisy.
I am priviledge to be a part of the family of God, but please do not mistake Christianity with Republicans like Dr. Dobson. You see, they have a "on demand" God.
They forgot that King David, was a shepherd boy; Moses, was the son of slave; Joshua, was a slave; Joseph, was a slave; the 12 disciples were common every day men, and Jesus was carpenter.
Although Rome was a brutal dictator, Jesus treated everyone including the Roamns with dignity and respect, something the Republican Party have forgotten about.
Somewhere along the line the majority of white Evangelicals have sold themselves to the Republican Party. They show the world last week at the convention, and I mean the world was watching- over 38 million
I was lucky enough to listen to Dr Dobson speak in Medicine Hat, AB many years ago & I respect him. His endorsement of McCain & especially Sarah Palin sways my vote. Americans don't want to know the truth about their country & they believe Obama means more freebies.
Your list of candidates, top RHS of your home page, fails to list Gov. S. Palin. If you can't update once in a while, why should I visit this site?
