Interesting. The Senate could use a Republican with some balls...they're getting scarce.

I hope he runs and wins. I can't imagine why anyone in Illinois would want to vote for Osama.

Amy Turner of Carterville said, "Mike Ditka has no political background. I couldn't even tell you what he stands for. It's ridiculous. I'm not a fan of career politicians, but I'd like to have someone running for office with some political knowledge. I'm not sure Ditka has even served on so much as a PTO board."

She sounds like some people we know...

:-D

I would love to hear Mike on the Senate floor. I'd vote for him over Oberweiss.

I'm a little worried about the "sports tough guys." I always fear that on the big issues, they will go for what they think makes them look good in the media. Ditka has enjoyed almost exclusively positive media coverage post-football, why would he risk tarnishing his image by, say, voting for English-only education, welfare cuts, and immigration restrictions? If his convictions are as strong as his play was hard, then he'll be the greatest thing to hit the Senate in memory. If he's doing it for him, and not for the country, he'll only disappoint.

"I think if they would stick a name out there that is friendly (to the voters), they would be doing so because they feel the pressure. Really, it would be a bad thing," she said. "Mike Ditka has no political background. I couldn't even tell you what he stands for. It's ridiculous. I'm not a fan of career politicians, but I'd like to have someone running for office with some political knowledge. I'm not sure Ditka has even served on so much as a PTO board."

A staunch Democrat, Turner said she would not vote for Ditka ...

Would she feel the same demand for experience for Hillary or for yet another spawn from the Kennedy clan.

Is Ditka that popular in Illinois that his mere appearance on the ballot makes him a winner? If it does, I don't really care how strong a political mind he has. This Obama guy will be on the presidential ticket in the near future if he gets to the Senate (particularly after what Edwards has done). Needs to be stopped anyway possible.

Along that same vein, hope that Guiliani is going to try to put the stake through Hitlery in 2006 - victory would never be as sweet.

Mizz Turner's negative spin is laughable.

Ditka has character and integrity.

He's probably only one who could keep the seat for the GOP in Illinois. Whether he can overcome Obama Barack by November is the $64,000 question. One only Mike Ditka can answer.

I love 'Da Coach', but this is utterly ridiculous.

"Mike Ditka has no political background".

Once upon a time that was not a liability, and was in fact, a positive.

As a native Chicagoan, I would love to see Ditka in the Senate.
