God-O-Meter

Is Mike Huckabee the victim of religious discrimination from the media? In an interview with radio host Dennis Prager, brought to God-o-Meter’s attention by the Faith in Public Life blog, Huckabee accuses the press of displaying “soft bigotry” toward him because he’s an ordained Baptist preacher. He notes that the news media usually identify him…

John McCain won yesterday’s primary in Virginia, where a Huckabee victory would have raised another round of questions about what team McCain has claimed is its lock on the nomination. But McCain’s win was none too sweet. First there was the turnout issue; today’s Washington Post notes that the Arizona Senator isn’t exactly inspiring Republicans…

Moral Majority co-founder Paul Weyrich, a former Mitt Romney backer, has endorsed Mike Huckabee. God-o-Meter wants to know: are these protest endorsements or part of a campaign to get McCain to pick Huck as his running mate? Both scenarios seem far fetched, no?

God-o-Meter promises to let go of Mitt Romney soon, but please indulge it another post or two. GOM caught up yesterday with Matthew Spalding, a scholar at the conservative Heritage Foundation who did some advising and speechwriting for Romney—not connected to his Heritage position, he notes—focusing on how he dealt with his Mormon religion and…

Evangelical activist Gary Bauer explains his decision to endorse John McCain in today’s Washington Times, but it reads like one more reminder that conservatives just aren’t feelin’ it: In the wake of John McCain’s Tsunami Tuesday victories and Mitt Romney’s consequent withdrawal from the presidential sweepstakes, a reality has emerged that conservatives must accept: John…

The New York Times makes the important and somehow overlooked point that Hillary Clinton is dominating among Catholic voters, a constituency whose record picking presidential winners has few rivals: Hillary Rodham Clinton has run away with the votes of Roman Catholic Democrats in nearly all the primaries, often beating Barack Obama by two to one…

CBN’s David Brody has some advice for John McCain from former Christian Coalition executive director Ralph Reed about winning over skeptical evangelicals: First, he should choose a running mate with strong conservative credentials, both on social issues and economic issues. Then he should adopt a conservative platform at the convention, and run a general election…

Miffed that the exit polls commissioned by the TV networks and major news outlets have refused to ask Democratic voters whether they’re evangelical/born again Christians, the liberal group Faith in Public Life took it upon themselves to so. This morning, it released results from post-Super Tuesday polls in Missouri and Tennessee. Conducted by Zogby International,…

The AP just reported that culture warrior Gary Bauer has endorsed John McCain. Anyone else notice how Bauer has been playing good cop to his buddy James Dobson’s bad cop all through this election cycle? When Dobson dissed Fred Thompson last year, Bauer made positive noises about the Tennessee senator. And now that Dobson has…

The New York Times caucus blog reports on two more visits to black churches from Bill Clinton in Maryland and Washington, DC, which hold their primaries tomorrow. That follows the former president’s visits to three black churches in California last weekend. God-o-Meter notes that Clinton has long been well-known for speaking from pulpits of black…
