Mike Ditka for Governor of Illinois??
Written by The Go-To-Man Mattie T. on December 24, 2008
Apparently there’s a website (dagovernor.com) that is making its’ case for Ditka to replace Rod Blagojevich as Illinois’ next governor & even has merchandise for sale that says “Ditka for Governor” with an image of Da Coach. I hope Ditka knows of this, or else somebody is gettin’ sued!!!!!!!!!
Now if ya’ll recall back in 2004, Ditka actually gave some serious thought to running against Barack Obama in the U.S. Senate, but later backed away from his interest.
Could sports & politics actually work?
Kevin Johnson (former Phoenix Suns standout point guard) was recently annointed as the mayor of Sacramento, California.
Everyone knows about former wrestler Jesse “The Body” Ventura, who served as Minnesota’s governor from ’99-03.
Even Charles Barkley is talking about running for Governor in his homestate of Alabama, even though he can’t do it until 2014.
Give it some thought…..
But before i close this out, take a look at the recent tattoo from Washington Wizards’ guard Gilbert Arenas, which is a tribute to Obama:

Sorry, Obama would’ve still got my vote over Ditka anyday.

Just imagine if Ditka would’ve run against Barak for the senate… Ditka prolly would’ve won. Where would we be now? Prolly with our first woman president instead of the first Black.
