The Rocky Mountain News reports Sen. John McCain and Gov. Sarah Palin will campaign together at the Colorado Jet Center in Colorado Springs, CO Saturday.
Colorado Springs, home to evangelical America. James Dobson and Focus on the Family and the New Life Church are located there.
When George W. Bush was inaugurated in 2005, they made their intention to have a greater effect in politics well known.
Evangelical leaders promise that in coming years they'll be even more active in politics. And Colorado Springs will continue to be a base from which the evangelical movement launches initiatives that affect civic life across the nation.
John McCain, Panderer-in-Chief.
