Mayor of East St. Louis endorses Bush

That mayor is a law and order type.  That said, East St. Louis is one of the few areas in the St. Louis Metro Area where the police haven't completely stamped out streetwalkers.

Interesting anecdote - the Mayor's political enemies burned down his campaign headquarters this summer.  Rough little town.

I don't think there would be enough movement to affect the vote in IL or MO.  IL is safe Kerry, MO safe Bush.

However, could this affect the African American vote in Detroit, Cleveland, Philadelphia, Miami, Milwaukee, or Minneapolis?

African American voters in St. Louis Missouri would have no regard for anything coming out of East St. Louis - it makes the North St. Louis MO ghetto look gentrified.  Sort of Fourth World compared to the Third World situation most blacks face in St. Louis proper.
