Yeah, that's what I would want– a baseball player in the Senate. Will he sit in on the steroids hearings?

Oh please, please, please run!!!! I LOVE a good comedy skit!

I find it interesting how many of these athletes are republicans seeing how anti-union the party is. They have done pretty well with what the players union has done for them and their ability to bargain.

Just about anyone can do better than Ted did. He was a pompous, corrupt sleaze ball. He was the epitome of the fat, overpriveledged political elite.

If we don't TRY... then we don't DO.

Let me encourage you to run for public office for the great state of Massachusetts. Your country needs fresh heads and hearts to bring the country together. Most Americans will support you, for Love of Country, no matter what party they belong to.

I personally would prefer candidates who actually had held a job at least once in their lives; playing baseball may be fun but it's not a job and it doesn't qualify the person to hold office...except in states like Kentucky where the people don't expect much.

If it was up to wealthy republicans, we would still be paying our taxes to England. They would have said "No!" to the American Revolution. Come on MA, say "No!" to a republican.

Please let me know who Curt might run against so that I can support that person. Schilling was a jerk as a baseball player and will probably be even a bigger jerk as a politician.

I completely agree with the R and D thing; however, I would not vote for him because I believe he is too conservative.

He has to be better than Al Fraken an 'Buy the Seat' Burris.

There is no longer an R and D think Mr. Schilling. There's only a "Smart' vs "stupid" thing going on now adays.

Republicans are stupid, proved by their failed policies and their tin foil hat conspiracy theories. Rather then set to work fixxing the country, the most the retarded republican party can do is cry and whine, never offering any "SMART" solutions.

Sir, you are welcome to be a republican, after all...you know what they say about athletes...dumb as dirt. You should fit right in with the republicans then.

As a Boston resident and Red Sox fan, I can say without remorse that I hate Curt Schilling haha

I hope he does run, but a common-sense, tell-it-like-it-is guy won't win in Massachusetts, probably the only state left of California. Not to mention the fact the liberals are some of the most mean, spiteful people in the country. Godspeed with whatever you decide, Schill. P.S. Also wish the Phillies didn't trade you for four scrubs!

Seriously DOUBT that the state that repeatedly elected Sen. Kennedy would do an about face, and elect......... a GOP candidate.

Save your time and money Mr. Shilling.

Yeah he made a big difference helping out McCain in '08, didn't he? Schilling's problem is that he is a member of a political party that represents greed, sanctimony, and false morality and is out of touch with mainstream America. He'd have a better chance becoming an analyst on Faux News.

Now this is truely HOPE and CHANGE. Go get em kurt!

Any member of the Celtics would be a better choice.

But the real republican test is, "Can he say "No!" to healthcare reform?"

What! Another republican celebrity. Move over Chuck Norris.

Schilling made a big difference helping out McCain in 2008. This awesome political achievement shows how he can take over Kennedy's Senate seat and represent the wishes of Massachusetts voters. Voters have repeated elected and re-elected politicians connnected to baseball, such as George W. Bush and Jim Bunning.

I am sure people want a pampered over paid athlete who has no understanding of reality to represent them. But, as a republican congressman, it would be a lot like his pitching rotation, work one day, and then you are off four days.

All right!!! Another celebrity politician. Lets see if you can do for your state what The Terminator & Dutch/Gipper did for their state.....RUN IT INTO THE GROUND!! God help the people of Massachusetts if they elect this washed up, mindless simplton, ex athelete who can't stand not being in the limelight.

Hey Schilling. We'll never be past the R thing and the D thing as long as the R thing is the way that it is. Adding another big mouth like yourself is one reason the R thing won't change. The halls of congress will be another Hall you'll never get into.

if you have mccain on your side you wont win buddie

This total loser would get crushed by any Democrat he runs against. What a right wing joke!

Another 'highly qualified' Republican candidate like Sarah Palin and Mark Sanford...

Schil,

Run as a reformer. Bash the other guy as a terrorist sympathizer. Quit half way through your term, ink a book deal and hit the speaking circuit.

Let him run. NO Republican is getting Ted Kennedy's seat.

Oh yes, I'm sure Massachusetts will welcome a Bush loving baseball player as their new congressman.

You are aware that Massachusetts folk have the highest IQ of every state in the union?

You have got to be kidding me! Schilling is noting short of a dumb man with a fastball. He's about as electable as almost any other almost-former athlete, and has the same to offer the electorate – nothing!

Please, oh, please, oh, please...

The only thing more universally popular than the Democrats in MA is the Red Sox.
