According to The Boston Globe, former Boston Red Sox ace Curt Schilling is contemplating a run for the vacant U.S. Senate seat in Massachusetts previously held by the late Sen. Edward Kennedy.
The Globe speculates that if he runs, Schilling — who starred earlier in his major-league career with the Philadelphia Phillies — will seek the Republican nomination in the special election that will be held Jan. 9 to fill Kennedy’s seat. If so, Schilling will face a steep uphill battle to win the seat, given that Massachusetts is one of the bluest states in the Union.
But with the Democrat “brand” at a heavy discount, this could be the perfect time for a GOPer to slip in and win…especially as he’ll be able to campaign as the person who would force the Democrats to work across the aisle.
