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!
Slick Mitt? that scares me. Talk about elitism, this guy reeks of it.
This minority of intolerant Evangelicals are making a bad name for the majority of Evangelicals who support Mitt Romney. These Evangelicals are taking the low road and making fools of themselves. It will take decades for them to reach any political relevancy. Keep up the good work guys. You are going nowhere fast!!
it'll be interesting to see who mccain picks. and although romney would certainly help solidify mccain's standing with the western region (considering there are so many mormons there), i seriously doubt the mormon vote is in jeopardy. i've known many mormons throughout my life, and they tend to be conservative people. the mormons would vote mccain over obama any day, with or without romney.
the larger question, though, is should faith matter when electing politicians? there's a solid debate of that here.
this post seems to operate on the assumption that faith indeed should matter. why can't we just judge the candidates based on who will do better, not based on whether he prays by kneeling or meditating or chanting?
I'm afraid shortsighted Evangelicals are hurting America by their stubborn anti-Mormon attitude. Mitt Romney is a exceptionally fine man with fantastic credentials who loves his country--just the type of leader America needs at this critical time. Mormons have an outstanding record of loyal service to their country--government service, community service, the military, the Olympics, professional sports, private corporations, education, the Space Program, etc. Please name me one group that has a better record!
I think it's dispicable for Evangelicals to discredit Mormons like Mitt Romney because of their brand of Christianity. Evangelicals are becoming a real danger to religious freedom, harmony, and brotherhood in America. The Founding Fathers would be extremely critical of their religious intolerance.

"These Evangelicals are taking the low road and making fools of themselves."
Anything with the name James Dobson attached to it helps lead them down that low road - and they don't even seem to get that. As if Let's (selectively) Focus on SOME People's Families (not a peep about McCain's adultery, divorce and re-marriage) and let the world see just how low America has sunk.
