Obama vs Ditka; A Race That Almost Happened
http://www.channel3000.com/news/3524213/detail.html

I like Barack Obama and voted for him in 2004, but I'm sorry, Ditka would have won by 2,645 touchdowns.

1. DA Bears
How could you not vote for a man who won a super bowl?

In all seriousness, it would have been a much closer election (although it probably couldn't have been any more a route) and there are many people who think Ditka could have won.

I'm not so sure he would have, but he'd have gotten a lot more votes in the Chicago area and downstate.

2. He has a bunch of DUIs
I would vote for him as a football coach, nothing more.

Da Bears would wipe the floor with Da Democrats

Not this Obama guy.

Maybe McCain will take him as VP?
