McCain Says He Needs Evangelical Support To Win

CBN News today reports on an interview with John McCain who says that he needs support of Christian Evangelicals to win the 2008 presidential nomination. McCain says he has met with a number of leaders of the Christian right, but not with James Dobson "because he has said he prays that I will not be the nominee of the party. I'm not sure where we start the conversation." McCain agreed that he had not been as outspoken on the right-to-life issue as some Evangelicals would like. Some Evangelicals also dislike McCain's championing of campaign finance reform. McCain said he is trying to reach out to religious liberals and moderates as well as to conservatives.
