Michigan State Rep. William Callahan (D) on 7/8 "stirred up a firestorm of controversy" by "pointing to" Rep. Sander Levin's (D) "religious affiliation as a reason Levin should not be reelected." Callahan said Levin "is too different from Macomb County residents to be a good representative for them," and "specifically referred to Levin's liberal leanings and Jewish heritage." Callahan: "I mean, the man has never owned a Christmas tree. He's not a Christian. And I'm thinking, 'Jeez, how can he represent me then?'"

Later, Callahan clarified: "I am a Catholic who is pro-life and of Irish, Polish and German descent. He is very much pro-choice and Hebrew. Enough said."

Levin said he is "confident" voters will support him:
"I think that the issue of religious affiliation was put to rest in American political life 40 years ago by JFK"
