Okay, there is a grassroots campaign to draft Mike Ditka to become State GOP Chairman. How about Ditka as a replacement for Jack Ryan on the ballot instead?
Ditka has appeared in Viagara ads, however.
Hmmm ... another political newbie with possible surprises? No thinaks. There's got to be better material than this.
He would crush the opposition.
Or is it Levitra?
Well shoot, doesn't that makes Ditka Senate leadership material, afterall Dole did it too.
Anyone's better than Obama--except Ryan.
Ditka has a lot of baggage from his sports years .. that could be ugly. Ditka has only name recognition with male members of a household. I'd say .. keep looking.
What about somebody in the state govt who has name recognition ..?? Just a thought!
Let's see.. Dikka against the entire demorat party with both arms tied behind his back. Who wins? Dikka!!
Judging from the women in my household, you're way off on that. They may not know him from his playing days, but I'd wager at least 1/2 the women in the Chicago area who were around during his Bears coaching days would recognize his name easily.
Tom Selleck ought to be recruited too. He sure is a fine looking gentleman and a good man to represent us in occupied California.
You must be confusing him with Dick Butkus
Ditka against Obama? Easy, Ditka.
But Ditka against the entire Islamo-facist world? With Daschle and Leahy knawing off both his kneecaps, and Hillary yammering in his ear at full drone? Close call. But I'd have to pick Ditka to win.
Imagine what Ditka would say to Leahy.
This is brilliant. I met Mike once when I was a kid working up at Nordstoms in Skokie. He's a nice guy, but he would only allow female employees to help him.
i'm gonna guess that mrs ditka doesnt look like the ex- mrs ryan.
Two theological students from a Southern Baptist school, were in New Orleans a few years ago.
They were eating at a restaurant which unknown to them was where Ditka did a weekly, or regular radio show. Somehow they got to talking to his wife not knowing who she was.
Ditka came in and sat down. When the students were ready to leave, Ditka or his wife gave them a $100 bill saying he wanted to help the young preachers.
Obviously, as a California boy, I don't have a vote in this, and I'm happy to leave it to the Illinois Freepers' judgment whether it's a good idea or not. I do have to admit, though, that the idea of Dikka as DA CHARE is intriguing.
