Here she is. This weeks first episode of The State with special guest co-host Davey Henreckson. Davey is a great addition to the show and plans to sit in once a week as a co-host!!! I’m very excited to have him on-board.

I started off the show with a story on Bush’s recent comments regarding the dollar problem, and then hit a bunch of smaller stories - including stories related to the global warming bill and leading evangelicals thoughts on it. Davey discusses The Evangelical Manifesto, and the ethics of voting, and - as usual - has good things to say.
