Add another name to the growing list of pols and would-be pols eyeing a run for Edward M. Kennedy's Senate seat: Former Red Sox ace Curt Schilling.

That's right, Mr. Bloody Sock himself told NECN's Brad Puffer in an interview today that he has been "contacted" about a possible Senate run and has not ruled it out.

"I'm not going to divulge the discussions, but I've been contacted by people whose opinion I give credence to and listen to, and I listened," Schilling said.

Asked whether he would run, Schilling said, "As of today, probably not."

"I don't know, going forward," Schilling said. "That's a pretty big deal, from a commitment standpoint, not just for me but for my family."

After the interview, Schilling added to his comments with a statement he posted on his blog.

"I do have some interest in the possibility," Schilling wrote. "That being said to get to there, from where I am today, many many things would have to align themselves for that to truly happen. I am not going to comment further on the matter since at this point it would be speculation on top of speculation."

5. I'll double that.....

:rofl: :rofl:

[monmouth]

2. This is where I would love Edward Mr. Kennedy, Jr. announce he

would like to step in. Surely would make my day..

[PA Democrat]

3. I'll never forget Schilling campaigning for Bush back in '04.

What a cretin. :puke:

21. My sister actually emailed him (he's related to us) and begged him not to stump for Bush, asking

him to consider the lives of her children. He, of course, ignored her. Not that we expected him to listen to her, but he didn't have the courtesy to even respond to her. Of course, he doesn't have much courtesy, period. He's a total douche, in every way. (And don't even start with the charities crap. I'm glad he helps people, but it is strictly for publicity, according to a relative who knows him better than I do.)

And don't forget, he also stumped for McPalin in 08:

My cousin Shonda, who married this fundie POS, is also interested in running for some public office. Anybody interested in a blond Sarah Palin?

4. That's just what we need

:puke:

[newscott]

6. I'd be the first person to buy him a beer for 2004 WS win

But he'll never get my vote for Senate.

[NotThisTime]

12. Damn right...

[City Lights]

7. Oh please.

:eyes:

8. I can't imagine Massachusetts would vote to replace Ted with a RW neophyte tool

[CanonRay]

14. He's not a neophyte; he's been a whore for years.

Just what we need in the Senate

[blm]

9. Schilling will run on his 9yrs of experience supporting George W Bush and Richard Cheney.

Let's run the tape.....

[Old and In the Way]

10. Ballplayers and Actors.

Republicans don't have politicians that do careers based on public service.

[endarkenment]

11. Great, he's an idiot.

Always good to know that the republicant party in mass remains dead.

[bonjourtristesse]

19. yes he is

[regnaD kciN]

13. Why not? The Republicans need to run SOMEONE...

It wouldn't matter anyway, because he wouldn't have a snowball's chance in hell in the general. Unlike the electorate of, say, Kal-ee-for-nee-a, Massachusetts voters aren't in the habit of electing a celebrity just because he's a celebrity, political positions be damned.

15. isnt there another washed up baseball player in the Senate?

do we really need another?

[saltpoint]

16. I think Schilling might have a decent shot at it in the off-chance that

the Democrats nominate Charles Manson.

[chollybocker]

17. Schilling is a complete wingnut.

Running for a seat in Massachusettes.

You do the math.

[Sherman A1]

18. I have a rather low opinion of the Esteemed Mr. Schilling

related to some exchanges in the past. He came across as a true "legend in his own mind" and not someone whom I would choose to represent me, but I live in another state and will not have the opportunity to vote against him.

[Dramarama]

20. Everyone thinks they can get the job

From family members to MLB players ha

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

22. "Schilling is a registered independant........"

BULLSHIT!
