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

Nope, that falls under fallacy "non-sequitur" or it does not follow. It does not follow that if he's a good baseball star, he would be a good leader. Being a baseball super star has no connections to being a good senator.

The ever-interesting Jesse Ventura was interviewed by Larry King on CNN a few weeks ago.

Among the questions that he answered was the one:"What is the thing with Minnesota with a wrestler as an ex-Governor, and a comedian as a Senator"?

The answer ran along the lines:"It makes a change from all these career politicians and lawyers"! He went on to point out that Norm Coleman (who lost to Franken in the Minnesota Senate race) had been collecting his salary as a politician in one role or another for over 30 years (yes, to avoid partisanship, I realise that the same could be said of Ted Kennedy).

So maybe Curt Schilling could bring something different to the political mix. The way Arnold Schwarzenegger did, or Al Franken did.

The major problem that I would have imagined would be for the Republicans to come up with a serious candidate in what is an overwhelmingly Democrat state, so Curt Schilling would offer name recognition at least. Does he know anything about politics? Come the campaign you would find out.

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!

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..
