"There's nothing dishonorable in a person rethinking his or her positions, especially in a constantly changing political context," Dobson said in a statement to the AP
Earlier, Dobson had said he could not in good conscience vote for McCain, citing the candidate's support for embryonic stem cell research and opposition to a federal constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage, as well as concerns about McCain's temper and foul language.

Except when a politician does it, then it's called flip-flopping.

Of his new position, Dobson said in the statement to the AP, "If that is a flip-flop, then so be it."
Just so long as he remembers that when he's tempted to get on a politician's case for flip-flopping.
This is just my opinion, but I don't think that Dobson's approval or disapproval of McCain is going to make much of a difference one way or another.
Dobson's days of being someone that a large number of people waits to hear from are over. I think that in part that's because he's spent/wasted a lot of his credibility by trying to comment on every single thing that comes along, but it's also the WAY in which he's chosen to comment at times.

It's a shame that we create characterizations of what constitutes a Christian, and then judge people by those characterizations. Coming from Phoenix, I know the church Sen. McCain attends, and his pastor. Through the media, I have also become painfully aware of his opponent's religious affiliation. One would think Evangelical leaders would look past their stereotypes and support a brother in Christ, with all his perceived weaknesses, over an individual steeped in "another gospel".
