James Dobson Wants Some Attention

"Speaking as a private individual, I would not vote for John McCain under any circumstances." -- James Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family, January 13, 2007

"I cannot and I will not vote for Sen. John McCain as a matter of conscience.... Should John McCain capture the nomination as many assume, I believe this general election will offer the worst choices for president in my lifetime. If these are the nominees in November, I simply will not cast a ballot for president for the first time in my life." -- Dobson, February 5, 2008

"I never thought I would hear myself saying this… While I am not endorsing Senator John McCain, the possibility is there that I might." -- Dobson, July 21

--Christopher Orr

Yeah, while Dobson is throwing his series of tantrums Rick Warren is arranging high-profile interviews and discussions with both candidates.  Somebody is sliding rapidly into irrelevance.
