WASHINGTON, May 21 (UPI) -- Conservatives signal they would rally behind Sen. John McCain because of the presumptive Republican U.S. presidential nominee's stand on federal judgeships.
Through e-mail, mass mailings, meetings and one-on-one discussions, prominent conservatives say they fear a Democratic president -- particularly Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill. -- would appoint federal judges who would remove references to God and religion from public places, The Washington Times reported Wednesday.
