God-O-Meter

After God-o-Meter reported last night on Hillary Clinton’s “For Such a Time as This” faith tour in South Carolina, the Clinton camp called with a correction: the faith tour is nothing new, but a long-established effort that has the Senator Clinton meeting with Palmetto State ministers on almost trip she makes to the state. “I…

A day after The Brody File reported Gov. Romney’s coup in signing up Bill Wichterman, a former Fred Thompson advisor known for his strong connections in the conservative Christian world, including at groups like Focus on the Family and The Family Research Council, God-o-Meter has learned that Wichterman will strongly encourage the former Massachusetts Governor…

God-o-Meter doesn’t know whether to say that it’s shocked or that it told you so: a new poll from The Pew Research Center shows that 55-percent of all Republican evangelical voters would consider backing a third-party candidate in a presidential matchup between Rudy Giuliani and Hillary Clinton. Yes, GOM was always skeptical about polls reporting…

God-o-Meter joked earlier about Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton trying to out-church one another, but now that actually appears to be happening. Just as Obama is winding down his “40 days of Faith and Family” tour of South Carolina, the Clinton campaign is announcing a “For Such a Time as This Faith Tour” of the…

Culture warrior Gary Bauer seems to throw down the gauntlet on Rudy Giuliani in this morning’s Politico, claiming that A) Giuliani’s rightward shift on abortion is a flip-flop and B) he needs to do a lot more to improve his standing among religious conservatives (remember his 8th-place finish in the recent Values Voter straw poll?).…

Rudy Giuliani may not be courting conservative evangelical activists like James Dobson or Tony Perkins, but he is reaching out to the religious conservatives in the GOP presidential pack. Days after sitting down for a long talk with ex-candidate Sam Brownback, Rudy Giuliani told Fox News that he’s a big fan of Mike Huckabee: “I…

Bloomberg today does Mitt Romney the service of inventorying the various and sundry advice he’s being offered how to handle his Mormonism so as to maximize support from wary evangelical voters. The weightiest quote–and the reason his God-o-Meter rating is slipping–is this jab from Ralph Reed for not yet delivering a Kennedyesque speech about his…

In a speech delivered today from St. Anselm’s College in New Hampshire, John Edwards laid into Hillary Clinton and claimed the moral high ground–literally. By refusing to decline corporate contributions like he has, Edwards said that Clinton as president would perpetuate the same culture of corruption that Democrats had been claiming was the special province…

John McCain just announced an endorsement from a prominent Michican pro-life activist who’d been affiliated with Sam Brownback’s campaign. It’s not enough to boost his God-o-Meter rating–and even with Michigan’s super-early January 15 primary, it’s not clear that winning the state will matter much–but if it augurs more such endorsements God-o-Meter promises to reconsider. From…

A recent column in The Las Vegas Review-Journal notes that Hillary Clinton recieved a rousing reception at a little-noticed visit to a black megachurch in West Las Vegas: After waking between 2,000-thread-count sheets at the Four Seasons, Clinton attended services at Victory Missionary Baptist Church in West Las Vegas. Dr. Robert Fowler, the pastor and…
