It was a complete, obvious joke. Er, at least I thought it was.

Well, Ditka has occasionally toyed with the notion of a political career, so while it may have been a joke, I wouldn't put it past him to try and run for something.

NO NO NO!! Ditka will always be revered for his time with Da Bears. But what experience does he have? His temprement will also polarize the middle swing voters needed to win. He reminds me too much of Oberweiss. NO NO NO!

It is a joke, Ditka doesn't know anything about anything. If he ever even gets near public office, that will be the day I dismiss the city as without hope, and move out of Chicago, which given the brain donors I've put up with these past decades, says a lot.

Hmm, he has done a good job selling his personal brand and making $, he's a sucessful businessman. I would gladly trade him, in a second, for Todd Stroger, Emil Jones or Blago!!! My point is he doesn't have enough appeal to the disillusioned Democrats who might be willing to vote for a MODERATE Republican who is center oriented instead of too far right of center.

I find it absolutely fascinating Illinois actually managed to elect someone worse than George Ryan.

If find it strange as well Cook County was able to elect someone worse than John Stroger as Cook County Board President.
