Update: Pat Meehan is not going to announce for governor tonight. But it looks like a decent bet he will at some point in the future.

Pat Meehan is still mulling a run for governor.

The Republican from Drexel Hill and former U.S. attorney will make a stop at the Drexelbrook as he continues to mull his options.

Tonight he’s rolling out a couple of local luminaries to help him out.

Delco natives Pat Croce, who went from Lansdowne-Aldan to a sports fitness empire and president of the Sixers, will be joined by the pride of Interboro High, Mr. “Invincible” himself Vince Papale, in boosting Meehan.

When and if the announcement comes it wont' be a surprise. A couple of weeks ago Meehan, a former Delco district attorney, rolled out a “Meehan for Pennsylvania” Web site. He’s been traveling the state, meeting people and raising money. That’s a good idea. Maybe Meehan’s biggest challenge will be getting people from outside Philly and the suburbs to know who he is.

Ironically, just after assuming the position of district attorney, Meehan was in the national spotlight when his office handled the prosecution of eccentric millionaire John E. du Pont for murder. He was believed to be the richest person ever go to on trial for murder.

Meehan’s team won a conviction. Du Pont remains in jail.

Meehan is not a lock for the Republican nomination. But he’s got the pedigree. He’s not exactly a stranger to statewide politics. He ran successful campaigns for Sen. Arlen Specter.

His biggest competition would seem to be Attorney General Tom Corbett, who has not declared yet either. Conservative heavy-hitter Pat Toomey looks like he is now focusing on a primary rematch against Sen. Arlen Specter.

Go for it, Pat.
