Here are his donations: http://www.newsmeat.com/sports_political_donations/Roger_Staubach.php

$2,100 to George Allen in 2005 for the primary

Roger never could be enticed to enter politics in Texas. He was speculated as a Senate candidate some years back and maybe other offices. He rejected the push and I suspect he'd do the same today. Interesting idea and a complete outsider to politics.

[rlmorel]

I used to be a Redskins fan, and I hated him.

But he was good. I know little about his politics.

[Welsh Rabbit]

He'd certainly have Hank Hill's endorsement...

[doug from upland]

Thanks for the info.

[pissant]

Hell, I'd take a toothless George Blanda over any of the current crop of candidates.

[doug from upland]

Because I am pop-culturally deprived and don't watch TV, I had to look up Hank Hill. :)

[Fierce Allegiance]

Hunter!

[Fierce Allegiance]

LOL!

Hank is propane.

Staubach seems better suited as a King maker rather than being the King based how I've seen him operate behind the scenes within Texas politics. Although his credentials are impeccable, I just don't see Roger the dodger running for President although I agree he would be an excellent candidate.

He's doing so well with the Staubach companies and now has a NASCAR team too. Why go screw all that up to be President and have the media beat the hell out of you for 4 to 8 years.

[Welsh Rabbit]

Sorry. For those unfamiliar with the cartoon (King of the Hill), when Hank Hill goes to the barber, he asks for the Roger Staubach rookie year haircut.

First Mike Ditka, then Lynn Swann, now Roger Staubach? Who's next, Mike Golic? Sean Salisbury? Hey, if it'd get them off ESPN...

[The South Texan]

He and Nolan Ryan are big GOP supporters here in Texas and both men have been mentioned as potential political candidates, but nothing ever happens with it. I'd tell you they could probably pick their office and win in a landslide and no, they would not be empty suits. Obviously your research shows Staubach is a very successful businessman. Ryan is too and they both have a grasp on the issues the GOP cares about.

Roger the Dodger for president!

I was in awe of him during those great years of football.
I remember Clint Longly subbing for Roger after an injury on the field and bringing them back from far behind to win in what has to be one of the greatest classics of football.

I admit to not caring for the Over the Hill Gang, but I never lived in Texas either. 8^)

[doug from upland]

Now I remember. At one time, he was rumored to be a possible nominee as Sec. of the Navy. Too bad it didn't happen. Perhaps he would have been in position to make the run.

[Finalapproach29er]

I've had enough of Texas polticos for a few decades.

Everyone Bush appoints is a Texan.

[srmorton]

I fell in love with the Cowboys over thirty years ago mainly because of "Roger the Dodger". He would make a great POTUS, but I suspect that he is too smart to want to run.

[CharlesWayneCT]

That is so sad. What happened to finding a good man with good credentials and chosing them for president? Why is it all about having your life trashed?
