Ryan doesn't have any political experience either. Ditka would do better handling the rabid press-he's used to it. I hope Ditka decides to run. Obama is a very left liberal. The Senate seat will go Dem unless Illinois Republicans pick someone like Ditka. It's bad enough we have to suffer with spineless Durbin.
Nobody ever accused Ditka of being spineless. Bad tempered, maybe?
Dan Reeves, a fellow football coach, likes to tell the story of a card game where Ditka stood up and threw his chair so hard that it stuck in a wall.
I'm sure the media will replay the clip of him grabbing Otis Wilson by the Jersey during a game.
Then there was Ditka throwing a clipboard to the ground during a game, his chewing gum at a heckler in the stands and his famous, "Ditkuth? Ditkuth? What's a Ditkuth?".
I'm not sure how Conservative he'd be, but he'd liven things up a bit.
