From the Dallas Morning News on Sunday, regarding the Obama-McCain Come to Warren confab (emphasis mine):

Richard Land, who heads the public policy arm of the Southern Baptist Convention, said that although Christian conservatives are lukewarm about Mr. McCain, most will vote for him in November because they find Mr. Obama unacceptable.

“I’ll take a third-class fireman over a first-class arsonist,” said Mr. Land.

But it sure sounds like a certain other someone has seriously failed to light a fire under the you-know-where of the Religious Right. Hope Saturday’s pandering helped the cause.
