Correction: Bullock Acknowledges
Chris Bullock, the pastor of Canaan Baptist Church declared acknowledged his candidacy at The Martin Luther King breakfast in Wilmington yesterday.

“I’m motivated by my friend Barack Obama, whom I’ve talked with. It feels right. Nothing personal against our current congressman, but it’s time for a change,” Bullock said in a short interview. “The condition of America warrants new leadership, a new voice and a change in opportunity for those who have been marginalized.”
I don’t find any mention in the News Journal.
If there’s nothing in the N-J, I suspect somebody on Bullock’s end dropped the ball. There’s no way they would ignore an announcement by a credible black candidate.
Declares his candidacy for . . . . what? I imagine governor, but I’m just guessing here.
Well, they didn’t note Burris’s announcement until today, so maybe they are just a week behind as usual.
is “Celia Reports” an oxy moron?
Oxy moron (n).

I heard that Bullock was back in the race for US House of Representatives’ DEM nominination. It might have been on a Sunday show on Chanel 28 last week. Because things were on track with his church’s capital campaign, there was nothing in his way of making a run, any more, so to speak.

Here’s an opportunity for you to insert your carpetbagger title to someone other than me.
I was elected to the state senate in Rhode Island in 1992 and I’ve lived in Delaware since 1999.
Bullock on the other hand was a candidate in CHICAGO in 2002.
I will be counting the number of carpetbagger references the media uses on the good reverend.
and…Huckabee’s critics will no doubt apply a double standard on mixing religion and politics.
Note: I am not a Huckabee supporter, I’m just calling it as I see it
Will Bullock step aside when Carney enters?
Don’t know where Bullock is from, but he was pastor of the Eighth Street Baptist Church in Wilmington for most of the 1990’s.
He did run for office in Chicago and ran as a repub. Perhaps this is why folks call him a carpetbagger?
And when the Rev Bullock starts calling for the US Constitution to align with biblical principles, many of us will be calling him out on that — just as we did for the dominionist Huckabee.
