In Search of the Flawless Candidate

The Republicans are in a bind. The front runners for the 2008 presidential nomination include John McCain with one divorce. Then there's Rudy with two divorces. Next you have Newt Gingerich, who just admitted to having an affair while he was going after Clinton during the Lewinsky scandal. Then there's Mitt Romney, who has not been divorced but is a Mormon (which could bring us multiple first ladies . . .oh Rick stop it, that was uncalled for).

So, what do do? Where's the one that evangelicals can get behind? Could it be that we'd have to settle for a candidate that is flawed? Surely there is no precedent for God using people with any flaws to assume the mantle of leadership?!?

You really can't even say "evangelical support" and "Democrat" in the same sentence, so no need to even go there (although many might, or just simply sit the 2008 election out).
