The Latest 'God-O-Meter'

The latest ratings in the God-O-Meter have some surprises for a few of the candidates.

According to the latest assessment, Fred Thompson's "tenuous courtship" of evangelical voters is over. He has dropped to the bottom of the God-O-Meter's list after telling Tim Russert on "Meet the Press" that he does not support a Human Life Amendment that would, in effect, reverse Roe v. Wade. Thompson feels individual states should be free to make their own laws on abortion.

Rudy Giuliani has also dropped in his rating, presumably after re-stating his pro-choice views at the Values Voter Summit. Polls show that more than half of evangelical Christian voters would seek a third party option if Giuliani is the Republican nominee.

Mitt Romney has moved up slightly, but John McCain and Mike Huckabee remain at the top on the Republican side.

On the Democratic side, only Hillary Clinton and John Edwards have been revised in the last week, and neither candidate went up or down in the ratings.
