God-O-Meter

John McCain won Texas tonight, and the Republican nomination. Mike Huckabee is giving his concession speech right now. And yet remarkably, even with Huckabee an asterisk in this race long before today’s primary results started coming in, he tied John McCain among pro-life Texans. Those voters constitute 69-percent of the Texas electorate, not to mention…

God-o-Meter is catching more flack for its post yesterday on Obama and the false Islam rumors and whether he’s made himself more susceptible to them. Here’s The Dallas Morning News’ Jeffrey Weiss: [W]hile I like a lot of Daniel’s [aka God-o-Meter’s] stuff, I think this one fails to deliver. For evidence he links to two…

Nico Pitney, National Editor at The Huffington Post, emails God-o-Meter to take issue with yesterday’s post on whether Obama has made himself more vulnerable to false rumors about him being Muslim by playing down his actual experiences with Islam as a child. Pitney writes: I have to disagree on this one. What relevance does his…

On Friday, when the story broke that Catholic groups were furious with John McCain over his embrace of John Hagee’s endorsement, God-o-Meter wondered whether the story had legs. It turns out that it does, and not just because the Democratic National Committee refuses to back off its call for McCain to reject the endorsement. Rather,…

The Democrats clearly think they’ve got a big one here. The Democratic National Committee is taking its third big swing at John Hagee’s endorsement of John McCain, following up on its Friday and Sunday denouncements over Hagee’s controversial statements about Catholics. Here’s the latest, from a John McCain “Myth Buster” release this morning, widening the…

How threatening is Brooklyn Assemblyman Dov Hikind’s warning that Jewish voters would make “a mass movement toward Sen. McCain” if Barack Obama is seen to clinch the nomination in tomorrow’s big primaries? Hikind, whom today’s New York Post describes as “an Orthodox Jew whose Borough Park district includes the largest Hasidic bloc in the United…

Last week saw Barack Obama’s enemies begin to exploit the previously latent “Muslim factor” against him, with Hillary Clinton aides reportedly feeding the Drudge Report a photo of Obama in Somali garb and a conservative radio host repeatedly invoking Obama’s middle name—Hussein—in an apparent attempt to paint him as a Muslim at a John McCain…

The Obama campaign called it a “groundbreaking moment for faith and politics… the first time a Democratic candidate has participated in a forum like this with Hispanic Evangelicals.” The forum was a meeting between Barack Obama and 200 Hispanic evangelical leaders in a prayer service near Brownsville, Texas on Friday. Obama couldn’t have bought better…

The Democratic Party shows no sign of letting up in its campaign to shame John McCain for accepting the endorsement of John Hagee, the Texas evangelist who’s had some very unkind words for Catholics. God-o-Meter wonders whether, in continuing to bash Hagee, Democrats risk losing more evangelical voters than the number of Catholics they stand…

In 2004, a handful of Catholic bishops publicly bashed John Kerry for being pro-choice. That no doubt contributed to Kerry’s loss of the Catholic vote, despite his own Catholicism. Democrats took note. So in 2008, a high-ranking Catholic Democratic National Committee official is bashing John McCain over his endorsement this week from John Hagee: “As…
