Mike Ditka has been a lot of things in life, including that man that could have possibly beaten then Illinois state senator Barack Obama when he ran for U.S. Senate in 2004. Instead Ditka chose not to run because of business obligations, Alan Keyes did the honors and we all know how that turned out.
The Pittsburgh native, Republican, and accomplished former NFL player, television commentator, and coach is now being ‘drafted’ once again to run to fill the seat vacated by Obama. A seat that remains open despite Gov. Blagojevich’s perfectly legal (yet tainted) appointment of former Illinois attorney general Roland Burris to fill that seat.

What could have been. Barack the Kenyan operating an umbrella covered Mai Tai stand on some beach in Hawaii.
Da Bears!
Too bad Mike did not run last time.
If Ditka shows up with his Chief of Staff, William Perry, no way the Secretary of the Senate denies his credentials...
Why oh why didn’t he run against 0bama! Didn’t he know that the only thing that could have beaten him was Hurricane Ditka, or maybe an army of mini-Ditkas.
I love da man but baggage would have killed him.

Ditka needs to brush-up on the 2nd Amendment. He made a couple of ridiculous statements during the Plaxico Burress incident — along the lines of “only hunters needing guns”.
I’m all for it. At least he would get those bozos into playing shape.
I hope it happens.
We need Peter Fitzgerald back again.
From what I remember, his wife talked him out of it because she was terrified of all the dirt the Democrats would’ve dug up to destroy him.
It’s too bad. I think he would’ve won. I can still imagine those “Senator Granowski” ads.
Correction: “Senator Grabowski”
The picture from his Mike Ditka Salsa will be used in attack ads. ;-D
