God-O-Meter

Last week, God-o-Meter noted that Bill Clinton’s many church visits appear to be almost entirely to African American congregations. This morning, it noticed that the ex-prez stopped by St. Paul AME in Columbus, OH, whose web site identifies it as the oldest black church in the city. God-o-Meter is surprised at this pattern, given that…

God-o-Meter recently reported on a new poll by the evangelical group Faith in Public Life that found Hillary Clinton led Barack Obama among white evangelicals in Tennessee and Missouri and that more evangelicals were voting Democratic in those states than did in the 2004 general election. But an analysis of the poll by the nonpartisan…

The same South Dakota Christian activist who devised a plan for Christian Right leaders to back a third party should Rudy Giuliani have gotten the GOP nomination is reprising it for John McCain. Version 2.0 has substantially less support. From the AP: Bob Fischer, a South Dakota businessman and anti-abortion activist, told The Associated Press…

CBN’s David Brody asked evangelical readers of his blog k to write him with their thoughts on John McCain.

In this week’s Jewish Daily Forward, Senate Majority Whip and Barack Obama booster Dick Durbin writes in to complain about a recent Forward editorial that alleges that Obama worshipped as a Muslim as a child. … the Forward repeats second-hand reports that Obama was a Muslim as a child growing up in Indonesia. That assertion…

The Associated Press reports that the IRS is investigating a California-based Baptist pastor who is backing Mike Huckabee for possibly violating its rules against official church endorsements of candidates. God-o-Meter will give the pastor the benefit of the doubt, but might not have Huckabee encouraged pastors to violate IRS rules, in that he’s campaigning in…

Rick Santorum is warming up to John McCain. Which means Santorum is deeply skeptical of the Arizona senator, as opposed to being dead set against him. From Today’s Philadelphia Inquirer: Conservatives understand just how consequential the 2008 election will be. It could very well result in the election of a Democratic president who’s prepared to…

Maryland Jews backed Hillary this week, but those in California backed Barack Obama. Jews in New York, New Jersey, Arizona, and Nevada, went for Clinton. Those in Connecticut and Massachusetts went for Obama. It seems that Jews in more conservative states are going for Clinton and those in deep blue states prefer Obama, with the…

The AP chimes in on John McCain’s weak finish among Virginia values voters yesterday, with Fred Thompson’s former communications director blaming it on Huckabee’s refusal to leave the race: “McCain will be our nominee and he is starting to consolidate the conservative base, but as long as Huckabee stays in the race … there will…
