Ex-baseball star Schilling: 'I'm going to run' for Senate

Former Boston Red Sox star pitcher Curt Schilling is throwing a curveball at popular Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) — he's nearing a bid to unseat her.

Schilling all-but-announced he would run for Senate in 2018 during a Tuesday morning interview on Rhode Island's WPRO, according to CBS reporter Ted Nesi.

"I've made my decision, I'm going to run," Schilling said.

"But I haven't talked to Shonda, my wife. And ultimately it's going to come down to how her and I feel this would affect our marriage and our kids."

Consulting one's spouse is pretty common for people in or trying to get into politics.

**Tyrath** · 2016-10-18 12:38

I was thinking more just the notion of Schilling running against Warren.

**Byrthnoth** · 2016-10-18 12:40

Or him saying, "I've made my decision. I'm going to run. But I haven't talked to Shonda, my wife. And ultimately it's going to come down to how her and I feel this would affect our marriage and our kids."

Did you decide or not, you washed up old man?

But I'd imagine this is generally something done before you do interviews with the press about it.

Here's the Racist, Jaw-Dropping Moment that Ended Republican Sen. Mark Kirk's Chances at Reelection

Tammy Duckworth (D) was born in Bangkok to a mother of Chinese descent and an American father who was a marine and who could trace his roots in America to back before the Civil War. Oh, and Tammy Duckworth was the first female double amputee of the Iraq War. She lost her legs from injuries sustained when the Black Hawk helicopter she was co-piloting was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade fired by Iraqi insurgents. Duckworth was awarded the Purple Heart.
And Mark Kirk --who once lied in a speech on the House floor about his plane being shot at in Iraq -- questioned her Americanness.

Video is in the link, this was an incredible awkward moment that may have just destroyed the Republicans political career. The silence is deafening.

**Byrthnoth** · 2016-10-28 12:20

Actually, I'd say what's most surprising about that clip is how little anyone reacts to it.

I think it's one of those things that they had to process and by the time the audience realized what was said with its intent, the new question and answers were already underway.

**Zealot** · 2016-10-28 12:40

It sounded to me like the deafening silence of a joke bombing.

**myreality** · 2016-11-04 11:20

Meh, can't find original thread.

So this just happened.
