JAMES DOBSON

Before Sarah Palin: 
Against McCain

After Sarah Palin: 
Supporting McCain/Palin

James Dobson, the well known religious right leader said:” I pray that we won’t get stuck with him.  Speaking as a private individual, I would not vote for John McCain under any circumstances". Dobson is the founder of the Colorado Springs-based Focus on the Family as well as the Focus Action cultural action organization both of which are dedicated to informing and recruiting constituents.

Dobson said: “McCain's selection of Sarah Palin is an outstanding choice that should be extremely reassuring to the conservative base of his party .She is a strong executive who hates corruption and puts principle above politics. After floating the names of Tom Ridge and Sen. Joe Lieberman in recent weeks -- selections that would have created consternation among pro-family Republicans -- Sen. McCain has chosen a solid conservative who has a reputation for espousing common sense."

Dobson said he plans to Vote for McCain-Palin following announcement of Sarah Palin’s nomination.
