From an AP article on how McCain parried a Jesus question on the campaign trail yesterday: McCain wrapped up his two-day spin through South Carolina with a town hall meeting at a Greer family restaurant. John Grabiel, a Greer minister, pressed McCain about whether he considered Jesus Christ his personal savior, but McCain wouldn’t directly…

Former federal judge Robert Bork, a hero to the Christian Right since his 1987 nomination to the Supreme Court was torpedoed largely over his opposition to Roe v. Wade, endorsed Mitt Romney today.

Who was it that predicted that yesterday’s new “values” television ad by Hillary Clinton would be the first in a series of such spots? Oh, right–that was God-o-Meter.

Family Research Council president Tony Perkins has raised doubts about Mike Huckabee, but when God-o-Meter learned that FRC vice president of communications Charmaine Yoest (pictured) had taken a leave of absence to serve as a Huckabee senior advisor earlier this month, it wondered where the group really stood.

Does only God-o-Meter think this is in poor taste? The Fred Thompson campaign just sent reporters a memo that’s written as a send-up of Mike Huckabee’s apology to Mitt Romney over his recent remarks about Mormonism. A few excerpts from the memo: To: Interested Members of the Media From: Karen Hanretty, Deputy Communications Director Date:…

If you haven’t seen them yet, here are a couple video iterations of Mike Huckabee apologizing for asking a New York Times Magazine reporter: “Don’t Mormons believe that Jesus and the devil are brothers?” Is God-o-Meter the only one left wondering what exactly he’s apologizing for? To GOM’s mind, he doesn’t exactly take back the…

God-o-Meter got all excited when it read this headline in today’s Salt Lake Tribune: Huckabee throwing veiled LDS hardballs? Political scientists say magazine remark, TV ad are shots at Romney. So, God-o-Meter, told itself, you’re not the only one who feels this way. But the only true political scientist quoted in the story who actually…

Following yesterday’s uneventful Republican presidential debate in Iowa, Mike Huckabee made a beeline for Mitt Romney to apologize for his “‘Don’t Mormons believe that Jesus and the devil are brothers?” remark to The New York Times Magazine.
