Shortly before Super Bowl XXII, Clint Didier had a dream that his team, the Washington Redskins would be down, but come back to win, and that he would catch a touchdown pass.
That dream came true.
Later that year, Didier dreamed that he would no longer be with the the Redskins and watch from afar as they played in another Super Bowl.
That dream also came true.
Now, Clint dreams of going back to Washington, D.C., this time as a U.S. Senator, to rein in what he sees as a government out of countrol.
Disgusted at the confirmation of Obama administration officials such as Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, who failed to pay social security or self-employment taxes from 2001 to 2004, and former "Green Jobs" czar Van Jones, who has Marxist affiliations and believes in 9/11 conspiracy theories, Didier announced at a Tea Party held last month in the Tri-Cities that he was considering running for the U.S. Senate next year against Democrat Patty Murray. In his speech, he proclaimed that "I can honestly say I do not trust my government" and that "I, Clint Didier, want to answer the call to service. I want to work toward a return to the Constitution and its precepts."

You should have fun with the cretins. Tell them you’re in favor of long prison sentences for those that use more than one square of toilet paper per day, because a hand works just as good. And tell them that as you shake their hands. ;-D

Can’t really say, I’m not good with judging sports figures as candidates. We haven’t won a Senate race in WA in what will be 16 years as of 2010.

Wow. How discouraging. Hugh Hewitt wrote a book called, “If It’s Not Close, They Can’t Cheat”, all conservatives should pick it up. Sounds like Washington is a real heart breaker.

To be honest, I don’t know what to think about this development. I’m not clear as to how many football fans live in Washington state. I was hoping ex-Sheriff Dave Reichert would run (he’s a Congressman now).

“Patty Murry is officially the Stupidist U.S. Senator, now that Biden became VP.”
I think that she’s #2, after Barbara Boxer.

"In his speech, he proclaimed that "I can honestly say I do not trust my government" and that "I, Clint Didier, want to answer the call to service. I want to work toward a return to the Constitution and its precepts." Clint is well respected in the Tri-City area. He will definitely get my vote.

Could the tide be turning in Washington State? Conservative Susan Hutchison is ahead in the polls for King County Executive, over the leftist running for the same job. And King County is heavily Liberal, so that tells you something. http://susanhutchison.com/

The point of running of a sports star is that people have heard of them.
This guy is from Washington state but he went to school in Oregon and played for the Redskins and the Packers. I wouldn’t guess his name recognition is good in 2009 Washington State.
But no one better is currently running against Murray (Boxer dumber? really).
Reichart is the name candidate but as Baynative pointed out he is barley better than an Arlen Specter level RINO. And his house seat would be jeopardized.
Not a lot of potential candidates in WA.
Cathy McMorris?
