Heard he's not running cause he was the minister caught in the closet in the R. Kelly

Good, Meeks would be noted as a double agent for the GOP.

i was actually excited about meeks running. i'd rather that the religious extremists create their own third party and leave the GOP alone.

Not necessarily. Meeks would also have appealed to those on the fringe right who don't think Judy's Judy's godly enough. You know, the one million of them who voted for Alan Keyes in 2K4? A number that still confounds me. There's more of them out there. If Meeks wasn't solely interested in making the Governor cave in to a power play the children, he could be a serious third-party candidate.

I'm sure it REALLY disappoints Topinka, since Meeks would have done a nice job of splitting up various factions of the Democratic base as well.
