Curt Schilling works corners on a race to replace Teddy

This from CNN’s Political Ticker:

Former Boston Red Sox ace Curt Schilling is downplaying speculation that he may run for Ted Kennedy’s Senate seat — but he’s not ruling it out either.

“I’ve got a lot on my plate, so as of today, probably not,” Schilling told NECN radio Wednesday, when asked if he’s mulling a run. “I don’t know, going forward. That’s a pretty big deal from a commitment standpoint.”

The six-time All-Star pitcher, a Republican who campaigned for John McCain in last year’s presidential race, said he had been contacted about running, but he would not say by whom. He also declined to offer a timeline on when he might decide, saying only, “I’d have to make a decision pretty quickly.”

Please, please, no more jocks in Congress. Jim Bunning is embarassing enough.

Shilling should stick to baseball, he might win Arizona not in Massachusetts.
