Hunter: I’d never, never abandon Israel. Never.
Appearing at a “Night to Honor Israel” event sponsored by a Christian Zionist group outside Washington, DC, California Rep. Duncan Hunter vowed that, as president, he would “never, never, never abandon Israel.” An emphatic statement of support, to be sure, but God-o-Meter asks how different Hunter's position is from those of Democratic presidential candidates like Hillary Clinton?

His book Beyond Tolerance: Searching for Interfaith Understanding in America, will be published next month by Viking. Dan Gilgoff returns to God-o-Meter June 26.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!
