I agree wholeheartedly with this post from Mike Potemra.
I voted for John McCain because I admire him immensely as a person, and agree with him on many more issues than I do with Senator Obama.

And I offer a short, rhetorical answer.Yes, we can.

Amen. Anthony Carter said pretty much the same thing on BTW yesterday. If it took 40 years to elect a black man president, where might the pro-life movement be in 40 years?
