It has never been a more important time to pray.  God's wrath is truly upon us and many will suffer as a result.

If Obama wins the election, we are all totally screwed.   McCain isn't much better but at least the better of two evils.

If you don't know how to pray, learn.  Or visit www.christianshomedecor.com to send us an email.   

Could it be that we are in the end times?  We have been in the end times for a long time now and no one knows how long these end times will last.  Chances are, we have yet much to see before "the last day" actually arrives so we must be vigilant.

Our only hope is to have total dependence on God Almighty.  If you don't believe in God, now is the time to start believing.

It is better to live as there is a God and then die and find out there isn't one than to live as if there is no God then find out there really is one.

The McCain Report has become an instant hit. It's lively, interesting, funny, and pushes the campaign's message. Hiring Michael Goldfarb and letting Joseph Pounder, a former Romney rapid response maven, loose to weblog were great ideas.

The weblog even got some love from Newsweek's Andrew Romano:

The McCain Report, on the other hand, is actually readable. Written by new hire Michael Goldfarb (formerly a blogger at the Weekly Standard), the Report wouldn't seem out of place on any number of smart, substantive conservative websites; it just happens to be an official production. Since launching the blog on Friday, Goldfarb has advanced an interesting (if debatable) argument about how increased taxes won't lead to increased government revenue; characterized Obama's early opposition to the Iraq war as a matter of political convenience rather than bold leadership; and reminded readers that Obama wasn't always opposed to the Bear Stearns bailout. He's even tried a little--gasp!--humor. In an item titled "Take a Chance on McCain," Goldfarb informed "disaffected Hillary supporters" that "John McCain is a huge ABBA fan," then posted a vintage YouTube clip of the catchy Swedish quartet. "We're still working out a few kinks," he writes elsewhere. "A last-minute decision to ditch the lime-green background cost us some time." Needless to say, this is more self-mockery than the earnest Obama bloggers have mustered up in 17 months online.

The McCain Report could be better. First, why isn't the McCain Report the campaign weblog? It's better than the current one which is mostly a place to highlight the latest video clips. The McCain Report is what supporters (and opponents) should be reading. Second, the news stories sidebar is a nice touch, but it needs posts to weblogs, not just the MSM or opinion journals. If and when they branch out to blogophere linking I hope they don't stick to the A-listers. Links are currency and linking to a good post from a lesser-known weblogger will sent them traffic and build goodwill. Third, they should allow comments and moderate them well. That will make the McCain Report a productive online community. The campaign could definitely use a single place to get online and offline grassroots actions organized.

It's been a great start for the McCain Report and should make for interesting reading through the rest of the campaign.
