OK, I have a little problem. As most of you know, I just turned 18. I really want to vote in this upcoming election. I have been praying that God would put the right man in office, and I trust that if the Body of Christ stands faithful, then he will do this. At the same time, I know that it is up to Christians and other conservatives to elect a man based on morals, particularly, on the issue of abortion. I believe that this is the foremost issue that should be on our hearts. After all, what is more important, the economy, or the life of a human being? I have been really frustrated because the man I wanted to vote for is not doing so well. I think that Huckabee would make an excellent president. At this moment, it does not look like he can win the nomination of the Republican party, but God can do anything. If Huckabee does not win the nomination, it comes down to this: who do I vote for? There is no way that I am voting for either Clinton or Obama. Both of these candidates support “women’s rights” over the rights of a child. McCain seems like the only other choice. He does not excite me at all. Over his time in Washington, he has continuously opposed President Bush on the issue of defining marriage as being between a man and a woman, he has supported stem cell research, and he has not been an open opponent of abortion. Please be in prayer about the elections. This is a pivitol time in America’s history and we need God to intercede on our behalf, as we intercede on behalf of the nation.

My only real hope is that if Obama is elected, he would have a defining experience in his christian walk, and change his stance on a lot of things.
Unfortunately, I can’t vote by faith, so I’m not going to vote for him.
I’m not big on McCain, either. Do we vote for the lesser of two evils, or is there a good christian third-party candidate we should vote for?
It’s a tough election.
