Tom Gilson at Thinking Christian pointed out a great article from Christianity today about how to pick a president: www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2008/june/17.22.html
It points out that while policy can be important, more important is character. They go through the classical virtues and Christian virtues to show how each (or the lack of each) influences the outcome of a presidency.
They also point out many reasons that agreeing with a person on policy will probably not guarantee any particular policy being followed, from a recalcitrant congress to acts of God. I would like to add that in all likelihood, there is no candidate with whom I would agree on policy. Thus the best I can hope for is someone who makes decisions in a way that I can respect and understand.
