Schilling expresses some interest in Kennedy seat - Yahoo! News

Former Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling says he has "some interest" in running for the late Edward M. Kennedy's Senate seat.

The longtime Republican supporter wrote Wednesday on his blog that while his family and gaming company are priorities, he does have some interest in a campaign.

He says doing the required work to become a candidate would mean "many, many things would have to align themselves."

Kennedy was a Democrat. Schilling lives in suburban Boston and is a registered independent. He campaigned for President George W. Bush in 2004 and Sen. John McCain in 2008.

Kennedy died last week at age 77 of a brain tumor.

Hmm, thoughts on this?

He's a wild card. If people are "that upset with both parties" you could see a Ventura-lite campaign but he's more an afterthought, just like many other pro athletes that try and jump right into the deep end of the pool.

Prediction: A Kennedy holds the seat.

Patrick Joseph Kennedy
Joseph Patrick Kennedy II

Take your pick and yes thats 2 different people both sons of a Kennedy brother.
