Voters have to ask candidates if they can tell right from wrong

THE Rev James Dobson is endorsing a candidate for the White House for the first time. He says he had a dream.

"I woke up with sweaty palms. I dreamt that John Kerry was elected and that Hillary Clinton decided she'd never be president, so she agreed to accept Kerry's nomination and become Chief Justice of the United States. That was a nightmare."

This nightmare is motivating the Rev Dobson to work with George W Bush's election guru, Karl Rove. They hope to bring around five million American Evangelical Protestants to the polls. These are people who didn't turn up in 2000, partly because of last-minute revelations that Bush was once arrested for drink driving.
