BOSTON (Sept. 2) -- Curt Schilling, the former major league pitcher who won the allegiance of Bostonians by leading the Red Sox to the 2004 World Series, said Wednesday that he has "some interest'' in running for the seat held for nearly 50 years by Democratic Sen. Edward M. Kennedy. Schilling, a registered independent and longtime Republican supporter, wrote on his blog that while his family and video gaming company, 38 Studios, are high priorities, "I do have some interest in the possibility.'" "That being said, to get to there, from where I am today, many, many things would have to align themselves for that to truly happen,'' he added. [snip]

“That’s what MA needs- ‘a principled American’”

I know they haven’t had one since John “I was in Vietnam, you know” Kerry got in, but did they have some with principles before that? Just how long have they been voting for empty suits in Massataxes?

Sounds good to me. If he runs as an Independent, he might prove to be more conservative than the typical RINOs who have won in Massachusetts.

if romney could give teddy a run for his life

He didn't. Romney lost by over 17 percentage points in the republican up year of 1994.

BASEBALL PING LIST

If you would like to be on the ping list let me know.

This will be a medium volume ping list during the baseball season and a low volume ping list when all life stops in late October.

He may not have a perfect game like Bunning, or even a no-hitter, but I’ll take him.

His efforts might even blunt the ‘win healthcare for Ted’ message.

I was thinking the same thing. He could certainly distract from the Kennedy love-fest the Democrats' campaign is sure to be.

Shilling would be great. I live in Phoenix but I have done long-term consulting projects in Boston. Massachusetts could use a real winner as a senator for a change.
