God-O-Meter

A couple days after reporting that prominent evangelical publicist Mark DeMoss has taped radio spots for Mitt Romney for broadcast on Christian radio, another evangelical Romney booster—Supreme Court lawyer Jay Sekulow—tells God-o-Meter he has also recently taped radio ads for the candidate. Sekulow says the two ads he taped roughly a week ago focus on…

Click To Play When God-o-Meter saw Rudy Giuliani sitting Mike Huckabee-like by a Christmas tree and donning a Huckabeesque red sweater in his new “Holiday Wishes” ad, it naturally thought Giuliani was copping a play from the former Arkansas Governor’s playbook. But Giuliani spokesperson Maria Comella tells God-o-Meter that’s not the case: “[The ad] was…

As if Mitt Romney needed another highly public reminder of his formerly pro-choice position, ABC News reports that he stopped in at a Planned Parenthood fundraiser in connection with a $150 contribution his wife made to the group in 1994. The Romney camp is standing by its earlier claim that Romney himself never contributed to…

The Wall Street Journal reports on a small but dependable bloc of Romney supporters in Iowa: Mormons.

On Fox News Channel’s Fox & Friends today, Ron Paul answered a question about whether Mike Huckabee’s new Christmas ad takes religious politicking too far thusly: Well I haven’t thought about it completely but it, you know, reminded me of what Sinclair Lewis once said.

Locked in a potentially fateful battle for evangelical Iowa caucus goers with Mike Huckabee, God-o-Meter has learned that Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has enlisted prominent evangelical publicist Mark DeMoss to tape ads on his behalf for broadcast on Iowa Christian radio. DeMoss tells God-o-Meter that he taped roughly a half-dozen such spots after landing…

Mike Huckabee’s new TV ad shows him in front of a Christmas tree and what the Drudge Report calls a “floating cross”–the clear wooden crosspiece of a window that God-o-Meter has a hard time believing got in there by accident. After complaining about all the annoying political ads clogging the airwaves, Huckabee, looking more like…

In the face of false rumors that he’s Muslim—two volunteers for Hillary Clinton were recently forced to step down for forwarding emails connecting him to the threat of Islamic jihad—Barack Obama has gone further than his Democrat rivals in trying to forge a Christian identity. The Associated Press reports that Obama continued his Christianizing campaign…

The Fred Thompson campaign yesterday sent reporters an ABC News story headlined “Thompson Rallies Conservative Christians.” God-o-Meter suspects that that headline may be giving Thompson too much credit, given that the entire article is about his endorsement from the Wesleyan Center for Strategic Studies, a group God-o-Meter has never heard of. A quick Nexis search…
