In light of Mike Huckabee’s Iowa win on the backs of evangelical caucus goers, God-o-Meter thought it would point out the big Christian Right endorsements of his Republican rivals, as a way of showing the rift between the evangelical elite and the rank and file:
Mitt Romney’s endorsements:
Supreme Court lawyer Jay Sekulow
Christian PR czar Mark DeMoss
Bob Jones University president Bob Jones III
Former Supreme Court nominee Robert Bork
Moral Majority co-founder Paul Weyrich
plus: kind words from Focus on the Family’s James Dobson
Fred Thompson’s endorsements:
National Right to Life Committee
plus: kind words from American Values’ Gary Bauer and the Southern Baptist Convention’s Richard Land
Rudy Giuliani’s endorsements:
former Christian Broadcasting Network chief Pat Robertson
