More on Meeks

The Rev. and State Sen. James Meeks is still deciding whether or not to run for governor. From Christianity Today:

"Making the decision will be widely based on the support that I will be given from the white church," he told CT.....

Mike Lawrence, a Southern Illinois University political analyst, said Meeks's presence in the race could create a greater voter turnout. While Meeks may take votes away from Blagojevich, it would be a long shot for him to win.

"There will be people in the African American community who don't share his views on abortion and related issues. Then there will be white fundamentalists who share his views on abortion but would be adamantly opposed to the kind of income tax he has proposed," Lawrence said. "He would have to tap significantly into the disillusionment that some people feel with the two major parties."

So you would have to be disillusioned and want to turn out at the same time. A tall order.

UPDATE: Meeks meets with Cardinal George. (Note to Meeks from me:Want support? SCHOOL CHOICE
