What is the difference between Brady running for office and the guy from Nebraska?

Nothing, I like Brady. The retards from Mass who keep electing Ted Kennedy on the other hand.

Even though I think Brady is a Republican - not that we should hold that against him

- I think Mass. would elect him just because he could throw a football better than anyone in his era of football.

How does that explain Ted Kennedy?

His head kind of looks like a football and you could get drunk just by standing next to him and breathing!

A partial list of precedents from politicalstrategy.org:

Bill Bradley - Played 10 years with the New York Knicks. Bradley spent three terms as a Democratic senator from New Jersey. He ran against Al Gore for the 2000 Democratic presidential nomination.

Jim Bunning - First elected to the U.S. Senate from Kentucky in 1998. He is a Hall-of-Famer who pitched primarily for the Detroit Tigers and Philadelphia Phillies.

Jack Kemp - Was a congressional representative from New York and later Bob Dole's running-mate in the 1996 presidential elections. Kemp was a celebrated quarterback for the Buffalo Bills and NFL player of the year in 1965.

Steve Largent - A former Oklahoma congressman who lost the 2002 gubernatorial race to Democrat Brad Henry. Largent was elected to the House after his Hall of Fame career in the National Football League with the Seattle Seahawks.

Tom McMillan - Was an NBA player who became a Democratic congressman from Maryland.

Tom Osborne - A congressman from the 3rd District of Nebraska. Former head coach for the University of Nebraska Cornhuskers... If you don't think he was a celebrity in his district, if not the entire state, then you don't know diddly about Cornhusker football.

Jim Ryun - Thirty years ago, Jim Ryun was the fastest miler in the world for his age. He took the world 1,500-meter record from Herb Elliott. Today, Ryun is a Kansas Republican congressman, as he has been since 1996.

Jesse (The Body) Ventura - Reform - A former pro wrestler who served a single term as the governor of Minnesota. (OK, I admit this one's a reach.)

J.C. Watts - First elected to Oklahoma's 4th Congressional District in 1994. He quarterbacked the University of Oklahoma to conference championships in the 1980s and played professionally in the Canadian leagues.

I don't like Ted Kennedy. When I lived in Mass, I voted for his opponent. But I have to admit, he does seem to bring to the state what Mass residents consider to be important, so they keep electing him.

FYI
Brady is a registered voter in CA so if he were to run for public office it would be in CA, that is where is primary home is. But I think he is a little busy for the next few years.
