The race for governor of Michigan: the last day
From the Detroit News: "Hopefuls court faithful":
DeVos, accompanied by his wife and four children, was much lower-key [than Granholm] and stayed throughout the churches' services.
Pastor James Morman of the Christian Tabernacle Church in Southfield said he had a chance to meet with DeVos before introducing him.
"He shared his love of Jesus Christ," Morman told the packed church. "I'm impressed with what he's done with Amway and his family."
DeVos, a member of the Christian Reformed Church, told the congregation he didn't come to make a political speech, but told them of a stone plaque that says: "As for me and my family, we will serve the Lord."
He promised them that if elected governor, his motto would be straight out of the Bible: "Seek justice, love mercy. How much more can you do in life? There is no more."
Asked about Granholm's "wolf in sheep's clothing" comment, DeVos said: "I went to church to worship. The governor has to decide what to say in a house of worship. That certainly is unfortunate."
Cardinal Adam Maida, archbishop of Detroit, didn't endorse a candidate but reminded Catholic voters of their duty to vote for candidates who respect life.
In comments delivered at the Cathedral of the Most Blessed Sacrament in Detroit, Maida said: "First and foremost, as believers we should vote for candidates who are respectful of the common good, especially the dignity of life, from the first moment of conception until natural death."
Granholm, a mother of three, says she personally opposes abortion, but would leave the choice to a woman and her doctor. DeVos opposes abortion in every case except to save the life of the mother.
