I doubt many voters care that Curt Schilling is supporting McCain for President. However, Schilling's appearance gave McCain an opportunity to have an audience with people that might not have otherwise come out. That's why it's important. Oprah's endorsement of Barack Obama is the same way. His appearance on her show or just the mere mention of her endorsement might get some Oprah fans to check him out when they might not have without it. Since many people don't read anything about any of the candidates, that limited exposure can make a big difference. I think some of you are thinking about this in the wrong way.

Regardless of whether you agree with him or what you think of his pitching abilities, Schilling is known for shooting straight. It, therefore, is no surprise that he is endorsing McCain. I find it rather refreshing that two men who are in professions that encourage "correctness" share a common trait grounded in honesty. Apparently straight talk sits well with some of the people on here only when they hear it coming from someone in their own party! Finally, just because someone supported Bush in 2004 does not necessarily mean that person approves of President Bush now - that would explain his decline in approval. I believe Senator McCain has distanced himself enough from President Bush on key issues. Don't any of you remember the 2000 Rebublican primary????

If you are posting online, you are involved with politics. How can you ask Curt Schilling to stay out of politics? It seems nobody Senator McCain brings in is good enough for you. You criticized him having his 95 year old mother and accused him of not having his wife on his side. I think you are feeling the heated momentum from Senator McCain...

It makes their life and choice easy. The American voter is lazy and sports personalities tend to be conservative and misinformed. the sad thing is, people who don't pay attention to politics, or watching our country go down the tubes, pay attention to endorsements.

We do not need his advice and we certainly shouldn't be paying pro athletes the criminally high salaries we do at a time where middle class wages are flat, foreclosures are at record highs, and 1 in 7 of us can't even afford health insurance.

Everyone is entitled to their opinions (even jerks like Jen and George), but don't huff and puff like a spoiled child because it's not the same as yours. Do any of you recall seeing hateful comments about Oprah for supporting Obama? I sure don't-- maybe that's the difference between liberals and conservatives. I hope all that hatred and resentment keeps you warm at night, Jen and George, because you are both cold-blooded snakes!
