I hear there is a movement for Mike Ditka to run for Governor of Illinois?

He won't do it, ironically there was a movement to get him to oppose Obama in the Senate race. I think Ditka would win but isn't interested in getting into politics, he's still more popular in Chicago than any politician including Obama because Ditka actually accomplished something.

The lt. governor will become governor while Blago finally gets kicked out. Ditka has been energetic in the Chicago organization community for some years, and has chimed in on greater advantageous than one political subject, constantly on the area of reason. Illinois could be supportive if he's appointed to the vacant Senate seat.

There are a lot of dicka's in office already and lining up, actually I cannot remember who he is or what he is about, isn't he a coach or something, I suppose it will not matter as long as he knows more about politics and is concerned and watches exactly what he says and to whom, his soon to be predecessor has not actually done anything, a play on words is not worthy of all the negative press. They tried to assassinate Obama 's integrity and character when he ran , little did the media realize, too many good people had enough of the nonsense of what people say, their actions speak louder then words. Folks are sick and tired of politicians who hang with all the "good" people and screw the public over. Other then words he has said, I m not convinced he has done wrong, he might talk crazy, but its the Republicans way of doing exactly what he has done, guess he is in trouble because he is the wrong party and has too many" snitches " that would like to have his seat!

In the 80s and 90s maybe.

just a rumor!!
