Sen. Brownback Endorses McCain for President

Here is the N.Y. Times link and an excerpt:

Mr. McCain was greeted by about 150 supporters at the Dubuque airport when he landed in Iowa on Wednesday evening, including Senator Sam Brownback of Kansas, a former candidate whose endorsement lent him a boost among evangelical Christians in the state.

Who is Republican Kansas Senator Brownback? He is a Catholic who converted from evangelical Protestantism. He is very pro-life and pro-marriage. Brownback's own personal journey to Catholicism from a bout with cancer is quite impressive. My first choice for President in 2008 was Brownback, but he has since dropped out of the race. My personal choice now is McCain. Here is a link to past Catholic Analysis posts mentioning Brownback that give you the background to understand the significance for us Catholics of Brownback's endorsement of McCain for President in 2008.
