Republican and Conservative political analysis and commentary

The Associated Press asked the 2008 presidential candidates what their religion is, whether there is a particular church that they are a member of, and how often they attend services. Here is how the Republican candidates answered:

Kansas Sen. Sam Brownback: Catholic. He attends two services on Sundays - Mass in the morning at Christ the King Catholic Church in Topeka and then services at Topeka Bible (Evangelical Christian) with his family. "He tries to go to daily mass whenever he can, wherever he is. When in Washington, he attends St. Joseph's on Capitol Hill."

Former Virginia Gov. Jim Gilmore: Methodist, a member of River Road Methodist, Richmond, Va., "attends his home church as often as his travel schedule allows."

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani: Catholic, "The mayor's personal relationship with God is private and between him and God."

California Gov. Duncan Hunter: Baptist, a member of Trinity Baptist Church in El Cajon, Calif., attends services almost every Sunday, but usually elsewhere because he's often traveling.

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee: Southern Baptist, a member of The Church at Rock Creek in Little Rock, Ark., attends services "every Sunday he's in town."

Arizona Sen. John McCain: Episcopalian, but his four youngest children are Baptist and he attends the North Phoenix Baptist Church when he is home.

Texas Rep. Ron Paul: Baptist, a member of the First Baptist Church in Lakewood, Texas.

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney: Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; attends services weekly at a Mormon temple in Belmont, Mass.

Colorado Rep. Tom Tancredo: Presbyterian, member of the Cherry Hills Community Church in Highland, Colo., attends services "every week I am home."

Former Wisconsin Gov. Tommy Thompson: Catholic, is a member of St. Peter's in Madison, Wis., attends services weekly.

Missing from the list: Fred Thompson, whose religious faith became an issue when Focus on the Family leader James Dobson questioned whether or not he was a Christian.
