Fresh off his Kansas caucus win and James Dobson’s endorsement, Mike Huckabee is chugging along in his presidential race. His chances of the winning the nomination are decidedly worse than his chances to win the Iowa caucuses last fall when he was polling in the low singe digits. Of course he ended up winning Iowa.…

I’m the middle of a 36-hour stopover in London on my way to Uganda. The flight in last night was stunning – crystal clear skies and a route that took us directly over a glittering London. Breathtaking. Today I had the strangest thing happen to me – two times. I had people offer me pity…

Mitt Romney is dropping out of the race – or, in campaign parlance, “suspending” his campaign. His reasons: ”If I fight on in my campaign, all the way to the convention, I would forestall the launch of a national campaign and make it more likely that Senator Clinton or (Barack) Obama would win. And in…

I am preparing for a little journey to Africa. I will be visiting Uganda starting next week and I’ll be blogging from there every day. I’ll be going with a number of other bloggers to visit the work done by Compassion International. The trip has been in the work for several months and yet I…

Welcome to old-fashioned politics. Ok, my thoughts: – McCain did it. His late wins in California and Missouri are huge. He is on his way to the nomination. But the fight is far from over and it will get a lot bloodier. – Hello Huckabee. While conservative commentators were out whacking McCain and urging conservatives…

Dr. James Dobson has released a statement whacking John McCain.

I don’t know of any fancy way to post this sermon so it looks interesting. It is something hugely important and worth talking about. In it, Greg Boyd talks about prayer and about why it is that we can pray for an egg and instead get a scorpion. Listen.

Today is the Super Bowl for political junkies. More so than election day, this is the day that matters. Nomination battles will become – possibly – clarified. It is unpredictable, it is exciting, it is only sort of important, however. The great delusion of the build up to sort-of-interesting Tuesday is that it is SUPREMELY-IMPORTANT…

Now he is a song:Tomorrow all comes down to that same question we asked before Iowa – will the kids turn out to vote? If they do then Sen. Obama will have been prophetic in saying, “Yes We Can”.

Tomorrow isn’t just a referendum on John McCain, it is a test of the conservative leadership that has labeled him enemy number one. If Romney somehow wins tomorrow, it will be clear evidence of the power of people like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham and Ann Coulter. They will have mobilized “their”…
