God-O-Meter

Barack Obama was the first presidential candidate to react to today’s news that an attack on Jewish seminar in Jerusalem had left at least 7 dead: I strongly condemn this cowardly and outrageous attack. The United States must strongly support Israel’s right and capability to defend itself. Today, our thoughts and prayers are with the…

The American Prospect’s FundamentaList is calling for NBC’s Tim Russert to ask John McCain if he’ll reject the endorsement of controversial evangelist John Hagee, just as he asked Barack Obama if he’d reject Louis Farrakhan’s support at a recent debate: Sen. John McCain’s embrace of the endorsement of Texas televangelist, prosperity preacher, and Christian Zionist…

John McCain’s campaign has begun quietly reaching out to conservative Christian activists, including onetime Mike Huckabee supporters, but those activists remain highly skeptical of the Arizona senator and his ability to rally the GOP’s evangelical base in November. “I was schmoozed a great deal, and he was a very nice guy and I asked pointed…

God-o-Meter just got off the phone with a prominent evangelical Mike Huckabee supporter who said Huck was telling friends last night that the message God was sending him with regards to his White House ambitions was, “not yet.” Huck echoed the sentiment in the farewell email he just sent to supporters: Throughout my life, I’ve…

John McCain’s campaign staff made phone calls to prospective voters in Michigan reminding the party faithful of candidate George W. Bush’s visit to Bob Jones University. The message was…

Hillary Clinton has won Ohio, basically a microcosm of the United States. She swept Protestant and Catholic voters there, while Obama won the unchurched and “other Christians.” At the same time, exit polls showed that Obama won weekly and monthly churchgoers, while Clinton took less frequent churchgoers. This makes for a pretty muddy picture of…

In Ohio, John McCain finally beat out Mike Huckabee to win pro-lifers, 56-percent to 36-percent. And yet McCain still lost evangelicals to Huck, 49-percent to 43-percent. That’s nearly half the Ohio electorate. McCain was able to compensate through a landslide win among non-evangelicals.

McCain lost Texas evangelicals to Mike Huckabee 49-percent to 39-percent. It appears that McCain’s born again troubles have only worsened since Super Duper Tuesday a month ago. When does he launch his evangelical turnaround effort?
