Best line "Besides, it would be a lot of fun."

5. Not good, if you look around the website...
You'll see that these people seem to think it would be cool that Ditka ran for US Senate and not that he actually becomes a senator. Illinois is a good state for the dems and Obama will most likely win. Although, I would pay big money to see Obama debate "Da Coach".

6. It would make for a fun campaign
but I don't think he has a chance in hell.

I mean its not like people are stupid enough to vote for an ex-football coach, or a women abusing body builder, or an ex-wrestler to run their affairs...

Oh shit.

9. Obama is not quite Grey Davis
at least not that I see.

Sorry but just throwing any old celebrity doesn't always cut it. What next? Ar they going to drag out Tiny Tim?

12. Agreed, we don't need a celeb to run against Ditka...
Obama will do just fine.

10. The gop here in Illinois is self destructing.
They are grasping at straws, and this is a perfect example. Ditkas
biggest claim to fame is coaching the Chicago Bears. One year, they won the Super Bowl. This comes with an "asterisk" though.
That particular team was so talented, a chimp, such as GWB, could have coached that squad.

16. according to the Times-Picayune...
...his wife says it's all a joke and she'll divorce him if he runs. Of course, that might just be the thing to get him to do it! LOL!
