About God-o-Meter
This blog is no longer updated and is closed for comments. We welcome your comments about politics in our Politics forums.
The God-o-Meter (pronounced Gah-DOM-meter) scientifically measures factors such as rate of God-talk, effectiveness—saying God wants a capital gains tax cut doesn't guarantee a high rating—and other top-secret criteria (Actually, the adjustment criteria are here). Click a candidate's head to get his or her latest God-o-Meter reading and blog post. And check back often. With so much happening on the campaign trail, God-o-Meter is constantly recalibrating!God-o-Meter blogger Dan Gilgoff is Beliefnet's Politics Editor. A former political correspondent for U.S. News & World Report, he is author of The Jesus Machine: How James Dobson, Focus on the Family, and Evangelical America are Winning the Culture War.

Clinton may be taking more of the active Christians than Obama, but as there are more non-active Christians and non-Christians going to the poles, the questians is: Does McClain appeal to the non-Evangelicals more than Obama or Clinton? The Religious Right may not even be a factor in the end. It will be desided by the Moderates this time. Whomever grabs their attention will be the next President.
In this election the religious right is going to be the great irrelevancy. It's going to be the economy, the economy, the economy. People can't afford values right now.
Foolish people have counted out the religious right and faith voters in the past. Just ask John Kerry and Al Gore.
Do you think these people have simply gone away and given up on what they believe in?
Anderson makes a great point when he says:
At the same time, if McCain wins the presidency in November, even with key Christian Right leaders (Dobson, etc.) against him, doesn't the Christian Right really risk irrelevance, at least at the national electoral level?
We hope that Hillary Clinton will move on to be elected as the candidate for the Presidential election. When Bush and Chaney are impeached there may be a damper on what happens to T. McCain. It will not do him any service, even the fact that the Impeachment Proceedings will press forward by the Grass Roots efforts of Ralph Nader and his Independent Party. God Bless America!
Clinton wins Puerto Rico and has the Hispanic Latino following not only in Puerto Rico but in the States. She is accepted by all ethnic groups and faiths because she is open to listening to people from all faiths. I know she will win at the convention because the Super Delegates will realize that she is the best candidate and vote for her.
