The candidates were asked about their view of a personal God and the power of prayer. Gravel (left) said: "What I believe in is love. And love implements courage. And courage permits us all to apply the virtues that are important in life."

Edwards said: "I have prayed most of my life, pray daily now. [God's] enormously important to me. ... And I think it is enormously important to look to God -- and in my case, Christ -- for guidance and for wisdom. But I don't think you can prevent bad things from happening through prayer."
