Note below that Bill Dyer, aka "Beldar," has agreed to post here at HughHewitt.com.  Bill represents the very best of the blogosphere, an accomplished professional --a very successful trial lawyer-- who puts time, thought and his research and writing skills to work in his posts.  I very much appreciate his willingness to throw in during this crucial time in American political life.  Bill's sitting pretty close to the path of Ike right now, so his first few posts will be particularly interesting, if he maintains power.

In hours two and three of today's program, I will be replaying my interview from a few weeks ago with Denver's Archbishop Charles Chaput.  I do so because the importance of the life issue to this campaign and the Roman Catholic vote specifically has become very clear in the weeks since Nancy Pelosi convened her Vatican III on Meet the Press, to which Joe Biden subsequently contributed his own verbal encyclical.  Don't miss the conversation, and be sure to order the archbishop's new best-seller, Render Unto Caesar, if you are interested in a genuinely Christian approach to politics.
