on CNBC today saying that he didn't think Ditka would run. His wife doesn't want him too. He makes a lot of money and would be taking a huge pay cut and the Viagra ads aren't to his benefit here. Besides Obama is a steamroller and would beat him easily.
So says Jim Warren, anyway.

3. so, is Obama about to get Schwarzeneggered? |
|
no experience, no talent for politics, no head for policy but enormous name recognition. That's about what we need nowadays to make a Republican happy. Popular meat puppets to avoid the difficulties of "issues" and make sure nothing gets done. Yippee! See, government doesn't work, just like we said.

5. That was my thought, too. |
|
Also, I get the impression that both Schwarzenegger and Ditka have thin skin, like Bush. What is with these insecure overpaid guys?
Anyway, Schwarzenegger has caused me to remember all the German profanity I thought I'd forgotten. May Illinois never go the California Crazy Election route.

8. Short time to have to campaign |
|
so he would have less chance for error and could better control the appearances. Just what would be needed if Ditka were to actually decide to run. NAME RECOGNITION is all it is about now adays!

4. I know it's gonna be a celebrity of some sort... |
|
... a Bob Roberts of Illinois...
I have faith in Obama, but if he loses I'd be crushed.
