      Quietly, McCain Makes Overtures to Evangelicals

      John McCain faces a challenge uncommon among GOP presidential candidates: rallying evangelical Christians to vote for him. As the New York Times reports, the McCain campaign is holding meetings with evangelical leaders and blasting them with emails, but many are still taking a wait-and-see approach. And McCain's lack of rapport with religious conservatives was exacerbated by his recent rejection of  endorsements of the Rev. John Hagee and the Rev. Rod Parsley. More »

      Dumping Pastors Is Gamble For McCain

      By rejecting endorsements from influential pastors John Hagee and Rod Parsley, John McCain might have alienated evangelical voters, a key Republican electoral bloc.

      McCain May Pray For Pastors to Zip It

      John McCain may be heading for his own preacher problems, but at least one of his problematic pastors is clamming up for now, Newsweek reports.

      Mac's Pastor: Make War on Islam

      The popular televangelist described by John McCain as a "spiritual guide" has called on Christians to "wage war" to destroy the "false religion" of Islam, reports Mother Jones . Apparently, McCain could lead those Christian soldiers, with powerful Ohio megachurch leader Rod Parsley endorsing the candidate as a "strong, true, consistent conservative." McCain appeared at a rally last month with Parsley days before his successful Ohio primary. More »
