According to USA Today, conservative Christian leaders including Dobson, Perkins, & Bauer spoke favorably of backing Bill Frist in 2008 while at the same time slamming McCain because of his judicial compromise. Here's a quote: "Perkins spoke favorably of one likely Republican presidential contender, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist of Tennessee, and dismissively of another, Arizona Sen. John McCain (news, bio, voting record). He criticized the bipartisan compromise that McCain and 13 other senators reached last month to avert a showdown on judicial filibusters." Acticle found here:
