God-O-Meter

God-o-Meter was pretty surprised by Mitt Romney’s recent admission that he’s inclined to give a “Mormon speech” but that his political advisors have waved him off. Shouldn’t someone campaigning to be the nation’s chief executive be calling the shots in his own campaign? Yesterday, Romney surprised God-o-Meter again. In an interview with New Hampshire’s Concord…

Everyone knows that the Christian Right is split many ways over who to support 2008; now there are signs that those tensions may be escalating into a rhetorical civil war. The Washington Times reports this morning that Moral Majority co-founder Paul Weyrich, who last week endorsed Mitt Romney, is alleging that the National Right to…

The Thompson campaign has been reading God-o-Meter again. Or maybe it’s plain as day that the Tennessee Senator needs to turn this morning’s endorsement from the National Right to Life Committee into a turn-the-corner moment for his slow motion presidential bid. The campaign has parlayed the endorsement into a fundraising pitch emailed to supporters this…

It’s official. Even after he voiced opposition to a Right to Life Amendment, was revealed to have lobbied for an abortion rights group, and earned the ire of influential Christian Right players, Fred Thompson was endorsed by the National Right to Life Committee this morning. What God-o-Meter found most interesting about Right to Life’s endorsement…

Fred Thompson apparently is about to get the boost he was hoping for in his troubled courtship of social conservatives. Citing anonymous Republican sources, the AP is reporting today that the National Right to Life Committee—the nation’s most prominent anti-abortion group with local chapters in all 50 states—will endorse the former Tennessee senator tomorrow morning.…

Personally he’d like to, but for now he won’t. That’s what Mitt Romney is telling supporters about whether he will give a speech explaining his Mormon faith. Pundits and others have been advising the former Massachusetts governor for days that the best way to tackle concerns about his religion—many conservative Christians consider Mormonism a cult—is…

Joe Biden apparently is not bothered at all by his lack of endorsements by religious leaders. As reported by the Des Moines Register, the Delaware Democrat opened his remarks at an annual Jefferson-Jackson dinner in Des Moines over the weekend by poking fun at Republicans for cozying up to leaders of the Christian right. This…

Aides to Christian radio personality James Dobson are denying a report that the influential Focus on the Family founder is planning to endorse Mike Huckabee. “Dr. Dobson isn’t close to an endorsement of anyone in the 2008 race,” Focus on the Family senior vice president Tom Minnery told The American Spectator in an email this…

God-o-Meter suspects that the mood is a tad glum over in the Thompson camp this week. In the recent flurry of Christian right endorsements of top-tier GOP candidates, the former Tennessee senator has conspicuously come up empty handed. For a candidate who pitches himself as the only “consistent conservative”—and who some tout as a “southern-fried…

Another day another big-name endorsement from the Christian right. This time it’s Mike Huckabee winning plaudits from Don Wildmon, head of the American Family Association. Wildmon, a seasoned culture warrior and radio broadcaster from Tupelo, Mississippi, announced he is backing Huckabee because the former Arkansas governor and Baptist preacher “has the leadership and the vision,…
