Come on Mike, get in the fight! You know you want to, you know you can win, just toss your hat into the ring and we'll support you.
It's running 53.9% Yes
46% No
330 votes counted.
Ditka could carry Pennsylvania for Bush just with a few campaign stops betweeen the two.
Duly FReeped.
The keynote address...???..that's weird..this guy's a no-name state senator...why him..I'd figure Harold Ford..
Not only that, but he's also a reformed alleged crack smoker.
Let's see... the rats candidates include lots of druggies, lawyers, and womanizers--sounds like a formula for success in their party.
Yes, he still will have a bright future in the party of the 4 L's: Liars, Liberals, Leftists and Lawyers.
I love being a member of the Republican Party.
They got Obama - we got Ditka
They got Whoopi - we got Condi
They got McGreevey - we got Arnold
They got Kerry - we got President George W Bush
Didn't Harold Ford speak at the last convention? (not that I was paying any attention to it)
Don't forget we've also got Tom DeLay on defense
how do you know his political views? i've been searching for his stance on abortion, military. i'd assume he's pro-biz since he owns restaurants and opposes the smoking bans.
any sources for this? i'm hoping you are right.
Some of us in Illinois love testosterone! :-)
Good
Don't recall..he might have had a minor role..he was pretty new back then..that's why Obama's choice is such a surprise..

QUOTE OF THE DAY
From interview yesterday morning between reporter Darlene Hill and Mike Ditka on Chicago Fox WFLD:
DH: ...If you decide to run, what would be your platform?
DITKA: Well my platform would be what the people want. I hate to say that, that sounds so generic, but what do people want? You talk about banning smoking. Okay, why don't we ban abortion? Let's talk about things that are really important. You know you talk about, well, you think one thing can harm your health, the other one takes a life.
Come on here, you know you're talking to a guy that is ultra-ultra-ultra conservative. So you know people who don't like that, you won't like me one bit. But I think I'm about what the majority of this people in the country are. I believe this country was founded under God. I think people who say it wasn't are crazy. But that's their biz; you know, that's me.
What you see is what you're gonna get. You're not going to like all of it. But you're gonna like some of it, and maybe you'll like enough of it to say okay this guy is all right.
