Tyrone Belin, Sr.: "He should run in 2012 because. He is coming in too late. He will split the Democratic Party. He also will not have time to get his message out. I think he can win. Black Americans like him. Moderate Whites like him. The Conservatives (GOP) fear him."

Rayfield Johnson: "I think he should prepare start now and avoid the rush later."

Mrs. McDade: "Think he should start now and avoid the rush later."

Ada Killebrew: "I think to answer the question properly we need to know more about him. Therefore 2012, there will be more information on him."
