Political Football

Last week, Sen. Wayne Allard (R-Colo.) announced he would not seek re-election in 2008. Worried state Republican leaders approached John Elway asking him to be their candidate.

One sees the logic of their idea. If a bum NFL QB like Heath Shuler can be elected to the House of Representatives in his first crack at elective office, the sky's the limit for a Hall of Famer like Elway.

Sadly for the GOP, Elway declined the honor. One sees his logic, too. Based on past career experiences, Elway must've figured he'd have to suffer three straight landslide election losses before winning the office.
