(Md.) Steele gets endorsements from Tyson AND Don King

Tyson throws his support in Steele's corner
Ex-heavyweight champion dons 'Steele for U.S. Senate' T-shirt at Ohio event

STRONGSVILLE, Ohio // U.S. Senate candidate Michael S. Steele garnered support from an unlikely source Monday -- former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson.

At the news conference in Ohio, where he will return to the ring Friday night, Tyson wore a white-and-blue "Steele for U.S. Senate" T-shirt as he posed for photos with fans and signed autographs.

Tyson said he used to believe black Republicans were "sellouts," but he said he changed his mind after researching the Maryland lieutenant governor.

Tyson's appearance came on the same day that renowned boxing promoter Don King, who has promoted the best fighters in the world -- from Muhammad Ali to Evander Holyfield to Tyson -- campaigned for Steele in Baltimore and in Prince George's County.


At a news conference at an Italian restaurant, Tyson said he would likely go just four rounds and that future stops on the tour might include bouts with women, possibly professional boxer Ann Wolfe.

5. Wow, I'm sure Tyson's endorsement will get him....
lots of votes. I'm sure lots of Repugs think(?) like Mike Tyson, and they deserve his support for everyone in their party. Thank God, he isn't wearing a Casey shirt.
