Ditka To Enter The Sideshow?

The AP is reporting that there is a possibility that Mike Ditka will run for U.S. Senate in Illinois. Although, I don't think he will run he would probably win if he decides to. The Illinois Republican Party is desperate after Jack Ryan withdrew when old sex allegations rocked the perfect candidates campaign. Surprisingly, his web site is still up.

Is this a big stretch? Most politicians are characters anyhow. Very, very boring characters. Why not Ditka? He would be great to watch unlike duds like John Kerry, Joe Lieberman, Lincoln Chafee, and Mike DeWine. Just thinking of those legislators makes me sleepy.

Hopefully one day a candidate will be chosen via a reality television series. Too bad that would probably violate some arcane federal election law.
