| Politics "wid" a taste of Philly, by Will Bunch of the Philadelphia Daily News |
The road that one of tonight's key speakers -- Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael Steele -- took to Madison Square Garden started with a sharp right turn right here, in Villanova. Not at the university, but at an Augustinian Seminary located in the Main Line suburb.
Steele is the nation's highest ranking black Republican elected official. He's also the focal point of a much lower-volume "diversity" push than in 2000 at the Arena Formerly Known as the First Union Center, when some attendees mistakenly thought they'd stumbled into a gospel tent. In fact, Steele -- whose anti-abortion but anti-death penalty views mirror the Vatican -- might work better as a pitchman to his fellow devout Catholics.
In 1981, he arrived in Villanova with every intention of becoming a priest. "Steele appears somewhat uncomfortable talking about his time in the seminary," the Washington Post wrote in 2002. "But to hear him explain it, he was there to prove to himself that he shouldn't become a priest. He left the seminary in 1983 after coming to what he called a 'simple' decision. 'It came down to "Am I called to serve the people of God as a priest or in a business suit?"'"
He won't be wearing a robe tonight.
