I'm certainly not passing judgement on the truth or lack of same on the allegation, but the timing has to make it a little suspect with the items on next weeks ballot.

Another case of "He said, he said."

Yeah, the guy accusing him refuses to turn over the evidence he has...a little sketchy. That being said, I hate these pompous "evangelical leaders" who represent very little of American evangelical Christians

Why would he resign if the allegations are false?

As an update, the accuser turned over some voice mail recordings to KUSA-TV who hired a nationally known voice analysis expert who was supposed to release his findings by this evening, and the early findings seem to support the charges. This guy, although in Denver, has been used in several very high profile cases as an expert.

More as it becomes available.

It does seem like the timing may be part of a personal agenda, though.
