God-o-Meter doesn’t fully buy this AP article, headlined “Romney Opens Up About Mormons,” but there’s some interesting stuff here nonetheless. Check out this take on an AP-Yahoo poll about how few Republican Mormon skeptics have budged on Romney: An AP-Yahoo News poll shows that Romney has had very little success gaining the support of Republicans…

The only real mention of religion during last night’s Democratic debate came from Hillary: WOLF BLITZER: [W]ere you missing in action when Senator Obama and Senator McCain and Senator Kennedy started formulating comprehensive immigration reform? CLINTON: Well, actually, I co-sponsored comprehensive immigration reform in 2004 before Barack came to the Senate. So I’ve been on…

A few weeks after bashing John McCain as “weak on values,” former Pennsylvania Senator and Christian Right darling Rick Santorum is endorsing Mitt Romney. Here’s Santorum on Laura Ingraham (listen to it here): “I spent an hour and a half with Mitt Romney about five, six months ago. And, we spent an hour and a…

Shortly after God-o-Meter finished its post about how well John McCain’s endorsements from the socially liberal Rudy Giuliani and Arnold Schwarzenegger would go over with the GOP’s Christian Right base, it got an email trumpeting John Danforth’s endorsement of the Arizona senator. Danforth’s latest book is a case against the religious right called Faith and…

In this morning’s Wall Street Journal, Karl Rove echoes what God-o-Meter has been saying since Iowa: Mike Huckabee’s hefty evangelical support ain’t strong enough to carry him to the nomination.

If it weren’t for Huckabee denying him a decent share of the evangelical vote, Romney would probably be the GOP frontrunner: Huckabee caught fire in Iowa and took crucial votes away from Romney. It left Romney with one of those silver medals. But you don’t spend millions of dollars to get a…

Hillary Clinton spoke today to the National Baptist Convention of America , a meeting of the country’s four largest black Baptist denominations, and emailed her speech to religious supporters. A few excerpts are below. And be sure to keep reading beyond that… God-o-Meter has attached a sort of Hillary faith resume that the Clinton campaign…

John Edwards is dropping out of the presidential race today.On CNN, Jessica Yellin is reporting that Edwards phoned Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama yesterday to urge them to make fighting poverty, his signature issue, and important part of their campaigns. Edwards never had the kind of intense religious outreach operation of the Obama or Clinton…

God-o-Meter just got this memo on John McCain’s Catholic support in Florida from John Rankin, communications director for Sam Brownback’s presidential campaign, who’s been helping McCain with outreach to religious conservatives: McCain Wins Florida Catholic Vote by Ten Points Wins both mass-attending and non-mass attending Catholics; striking difference seen between Catholic and Protestant vote •…
