Called2Action has made its picks in the Republican primary.

The conservative Christian group in Wake County has created a sample Republican ballot for members to use when voting next Tuesday. (It did not create a Democratic ballot.)

In statewide races, the group endorsed John McCain for president, U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole, Fred Smith for governor, Robert Pittenger for lieutenant governor, Eric H. Smith for superintendent of public instruction, John M. Tyson and Dean R. Poirer for state Court of Appeals.

In local races, it also endorsed Augustus Cho for the Congressional seat held by U.S. Rep. David Price and Marty E. Miller for District Court Judge.
