Bloomberg delivers the latest iteration of the “John McCain keeps his faith to himself” story. Most of it’s rehash, but there’s a new interesting fact up top: John McCain’s pastor ends his sermons with an altar call, beckoning any stirred souls to the front of his 3,500-seat“worship center” to publicly dedicate their lives to Jesus…

You can see an advance clip from Jeremiah Wright’s interview tonight with Bill Moyers here:In sharp contrast to the explosive sermon clips that circulated a month and a half ago, Wright appears calm and collected as he gives his take on the controversy. He’s also completely unapologetic, coolly alleging that he’s the victim of a…

Courtesy of The New York Times. Wright discusses what he considers a media/right wing plot against him. God-o-Meter stands by its earlier take on Wright granting the interview. Politically, it can only harm Obama. The interview airs tomorrow on PBS.

Barack Obama got walloped by Pennsylvania Catholics yesterday. Still, shortly after the polls closed, the Obama camp began making the case that his 31-percent support among Catholics–compared to 69-percent for Hillary Clinton–represented a modest improvement from mid-March, when a Quinnipiac poll had Obama winning just 24-percent of Catholics. Given the margins of error involved, God-o-Meter…

The North Carolina Republican Party is defying calls from John McCain and other members of the national Republican Party not to air an ad featuring Jeremiah Wright, Barack Obama’s longtime pastor. Here’s the email from McCain to North Carolina GOP chairwoman Linda Daves, courtesy of Politico: Dear Chairman Daves, From the beginning of this election,…

Watch it Here:According to TIME, the McCain campaign has strongly rejected the ad in a statement: John McCain strongly rejects this ad and the type of politics that degrades our civics. From the beginning of this process McCain has expressed his intent to run a respectful campaign based on the issues, and we have repeatedly…
