I really don’t care for Chicago politics. Let me start with that disclaimer.
I don’t understand how there are churches in the Chicagoland area that can be so overtly political, while others work overtime to keep the pols out of the pulpit.
I don’t understand how Carol Moseley Braun can vanish so completely from the public eye affter leaving office, and then return only to be christened in a church as the leading black candidate for mayor in Chicago.
Don’t get me wrong. I supported Moseley Braun when she ran for the United States Senate. Even joined her and Senator Durbin for a morning gathering of coffee and rolls with others from Illinois.
That was more theater than substance.
And that is pretty much my impression of Carol Moseley Braun: more theater than substance.
I will watch the mayoral drama unfold from 30-and-some-odd miles south of the Loop.
No desire to be a part of it.
