A Democratic pollster says they tested Jerry Meek because they were out of ideas.
Justin Guillory, who works for Public Policy Polling, said the firm ran the state Democratic Party chairman's name against U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole because there weren't any other people left.
"We tried all the candidates who have been mentioned," he said.
Still, Guillory said that people at the firm had heard Meek's name floated as a possible candidate for higher office some day.
Over on his blog, Guillory says he hopes to try some real names soon:
Hopefully some Democrat will step up to the plate soon and we can end this exercise. Otherwise, we may have to resort, as one person suggested, to testing Clay Aiken against Elizabeth Dole.
Maybe that's not a good idea. After all, Aiken came in second in a nationwide race, remember?
