One last piece of advice

Mark DeMoss is featured as a guest columnist for Stev Waldman's blog on BeliefNet. Mr. DeMoss offers four lessons from Tuesday's elections for evangelicals. You can read the entire column at: http://blog.beliefnet.com/stevenwaldman/2008/11/stark-lessons-for-evangalicals.html.

DeMoss begins by giving his bona fides:
I am an evangelical Southern Baptist who worked for a Mormon candidate in the primaries and voted yesterday for John McCain. According to exit polls some 72 percent of white evangelicals joined me in a losing effort. While there is much we can learn from this historic election--I'll propose just four lessons.

Then, the lessons (in the full article, DeMoss gives commentary which is worth reading):

First, a positive, inspiring, uplifting campaign can actually lead directly to the White House.

Second, no candidate or party is always right, and none is always wrong.

Then, evangelicals must accept and embrace the reality that money is the fuel which drives campaign machines.

Finally, I'd like to see evangelicals look for competent, qualified candidates who share our values, whether or not they share our faith or theology.

I wonder how many within the conservative community believe these are actually worth learning?
