According to The Drudge Report, former Chicago Bears coach Mike Ditka would be announcing this morning that he will run for the US Senate, vying to replace scandal-ridden Jack Ryan on the Republican ballot.Ryan stepped down from campaigning after a sex scandal involving he and his wife, television actress Jeri Ryan, came to light last month.
The Illinois Leader is reporting that Iron Mike stormed out of a early meeting with GOP officials this morning. It's unclear whether he was angry, or just bolted out for some "fresh air."
There are indications that Ditka may have been upset by media leaks to sources like The Drudge Report.
Welcome to Illinois politics, Mike.

Gee . . . I'm wondering if he knows what's he really getting himself into. Sure Ditka may be an appealing replacement, but does he have the stomach for hardball politics?
