Crap i was hoping that he would jump in he was probably the only credible shot at retaining this seat and lets face it this year we need all the help we can get
Ok, who was the wise guy???
If I worked for Ditka, I would not want to be the one who leaked any story.
Ditka blew his stack? Hmmm ... now there's a surprise!
With emotional control such as that it is best he not try to run for public office.
Well, if you can't tolerate being screwed with by the press, then "United States Senator" is probably not the job for you.
I don't think he's PO'ed about being screwed with by the press... he's PO'ed about someone in the Illinois GOP tipping off the press about the secret meeting.
Darn......I want Iron Mike.
Heck, if he's that thin skinned, he probably doesn't belong in politics anyway. If he stays, he better learn to live with and handle leaks, not throw temper tantrums because of them. But then, maybe the leaked story isn't true....
hopefully this is just a deflection move to drag out the suspense before he officially announces...
I guess he wasn't too serious about applying for the job.
Takes the media attention away from that creep Obama, shows those cretins in the Windy City that the coach is still the coach and demonstrates his decisiveness and character.
Who's that wimp running against him, again?
"If I worked for Ditka, I would not want to be the one who leaked any story."
If you worked for Ditka, you wouldn't have leaked the story, you'd know better.
Memo to Mike Ditka:
Welcome to IL GOP politics, Mike. They know you very well, and just pushed the button required to get you to walk away.
If you are so easily led by the nose like this, you shouldn't run.
Best regards,
Badeye
I would be too. That's one thing about Schwartzenegger: it appears he can keep a lid on things--and so can his staffers. Enough of this leaking business. Politics need less of that, more of trustworthiness. Don't blame Ditka one teeney bit.
I was thinking about that footage...
You just know a Demmie campaign ad would feature clips of Ditka blowing his stack and probably using profanity from the sidelines.
Just a thought.
Da Coach is like "John Wayne Toilet Paper"
Rough - Tough - and don't take Sh*t off anybody
