WASHINGTON The Reverend Jerry Falwell has thrown his support -- but not quite his endorsement -- behind Senator John McCain if he runs for president in 2008.
Falwell calls McCain "the kind of conservative candidate whom I would have little trouble supporting" and "one of America's most profound heroes."
Still, he says that's not an endorsement of a McCain candidacy.
Falwell wrote in a column in Sunday's The New York Times that McCain hasn't asked for an endorsement and he hasn't offered one.

An embrace McCain is sure
to run from!
Did you really support CFR?
Why would McCain run from Falwell? He thinks that Jerry speakes for all conservative Christan.
If McCain is the candidate, I'll stay home. He's crazy.
Don't worry, he won't be!!!!!!
Let's see, who would I rather have for president: hillary clinton, John McCain, or Jerry Falwell?
None of the above, thank you very much.
So, Pinch Sulzberger, Jerry Falwell, and John McCain are having a Lovefest. The odd trio.
If you think that way, you owe it to yourself to vote (not to mention the rest of us).
A good chance for Gary Bauer to make a comeback, too.
For whom should I vote? The crazy guy? or the Democrat? And will I be able to distinguish between the two?
Pinch and his band of Democrat enablers are just using McCain like they have so many times before. If they get enough Conservatives to "sit it out" they win.
Did McCain slap Duct Tape on his mouth?
Just one authoritarian to another.
Actual effect: lower evangelical opinion of Falwell
I think you will be able to distinguish between the two. However, I haven't given up yet and don't think it's a given that McCain will win the nomination. However, if enough people are convinced he's unstoppable (as the MSM hopes) he may just end up with the nomination because Conservatives will be so whipped. I find it interesting that George Allen is being slimed as a neo-Confederate now. What is it the MSM really fears from Allen? Not that he's a neo-Confed bigot but that he's a consensus candidate that the GOP can get behind.
The world should run from John McCain. Think something weird happened to him in that POW camp. He mucks up everything and stands for nothing any more. That's a very dangerous man to entrust the presidency to--might as well get a democrat if we're going to do something that shameful.
I feel your pain. Which is the lesser of two evils between McCain and Hillary? Almost like asking you if you would rather be beheaded or buried to your neck in an ant hill.
I'm sure that those resting beneath the Stone Garden in Arlington and elsewhere appreciate this. (/s)
I think the MSM's love affair with McCain will come to a quick end!
Smart strategy for McCain, gracious of Falwell to be forgiving, but no possible way I will vote for McCain no matter who endorses him. Only my endorsement will result in my vote. McCain is out of the question.
