When it comes to voting, these right-wing Christians will probably cast their ballot depending on other factors - a candidate's views on the failing economy or the Iraq war - but McCain's support of Israel may tip the balanced in his favor.

The shining example for that is their participation in these last parliamentary elections, where more than half of the ballots were cast by young people 30 and below. But it's natural that these younger generations have newer outlooks on life and we must accommodate them.
