So being a former baseball star means he'd be a good senator?

I am confused. No where in this article does it list his qualifications for the Kennedy senate seat. The only thing this says is that he supported republicans in the past. How does that make a person a good candidate? Regardless of your political views ( not out to start arguments) someone explain this one to me.. I don't get it.

I guess it wouldn't be no different then actors/actresses or wrestlers becoming governors and mayors. But I don't know why McCain is telling someone with no experience to run for..maybe he is wanting him to be a puppet for him..to maybe be able to control him? I don't know..

Not sure what you are talking about...saw a headline, but didn't care about it. But you know what... maybe that is what the legislature needs...members that weren't raised on the excessive, political family legacy. Maybe a common ordinary, hardworking, "main street" kind of person is what we need in the senate. His head would sure be much clearer, he'd have no strings attached, and not in cahoots with anyone else....I say give him a chance! Lord knows he couldnt possibly do any worse than what is in there now! Lately all the current "leaders" have been doing is cheating on their wives so, don't see how a baseball player could do any worse!
