When was the last time you had your vision checked? His signature is in the left most column on the third row from the top.

I remember Lynn Swann spoke at the RNC. I was really surprised because I had no idea he was in any way involved in politics. Now, if we could just get Jack Lamberts signature that would really put the fear of God in those girly men liberals!

Elway's role at Bush rally raises political profile

By Steven K. Paulson
The Associated Press





Greenwood Village - John Elway's appearance at today's campaign rally for President Bush today wasn't his first venture into the political spotlight, but it may have been his most prominent.

Elway, the former Denver Broncos quarterback revered in Colorado for the Super Bowl victories in 1998 and 1999, praised Bush in football terms.

"This man knows how to make the right calls when the pressure is on," Elway said.

Bush returned the favor. "I'm proud to be introduced by the man who led 'The Drive'," he said. That was a reference to the Broncos' fabled 98-yard touchdown drive in the closing minutes of the 1986 AFC title game against Cleveland. The Broncos won in overtime, 23-20.

Elway has long been a popular figure in Colorado. A 1999 poll ranked him ahead of Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell, Gov. Bill Owens and then-President Clinton in generating "very positive" feelings. The survey fueled speculation that Elway might run for political office, but so far, he has not.

He sometimes mingles with Colorado's Republican leadership. He attended Owens' 1999 black-tie inaugural ball along with then-Republican Party national chairman Jim Nicholson and brewer Peter Coors, now the GOP candidate for U.S. Senate.

In May 2001, Elway helped Colorado leaders try to lure Boeing Corp. to move its headquarters to Denver, meeting with executives of the aerospace company when they visited the Governor's Mansion. The company eventually relocated to Chicago instead.

He skipped an invitation to the White House after the 1998 Super Bowl victory but denied it was because Clinton, a Democrat, was president. Elway had his knee checked by doctors that day and then played a round of golf.

Now, Elway is most often in the public eye in television commercials for the auto dealerships that bear his name. He returned to the sports spotlight last month when he was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

He is a co-owner of the Colorado Crush of the Arena Football League.

Yeah, it's too bad Ernie Banks and Craig Biggio didn't sign it either. Nor my childhood idol Roger Staubach. I was also hoping to see Bernie Kosar and Nolan Ryan on that list too. ;)
