The surprise retirement of a key Florida congressman has Republican strategists eager to give the ball to former Florida Gators quarterback Tim Tebow, according to several sources.
"We do not pick favorites," said a key party strategist, but "obviously a huge Florida football star would be an interesting candidate for our side of the aisle."
He would bring a focus on fighting for the less fortunate and using creative solutions to eradicate poverty. He would also bring millennial appeal — and the right kind of millennial appeal. Tebow's non-political accomplishments allow him to say things politicians couldn't about culture and character. He would shake up the political establishment and would have no ties to special interests.
Not going to happen right now. This was someone connecting dots that were not there.
I thought this was an onion article.
^LOL. SO true.
Electability vs. Capability.
You decide.

I love Tebow, but I think it is common knowledge among Gator fans that he is not very smart, isn't it?
Not the Gator fans I know. According to them, he can cure world hunger, bring world peace, and throw a perfect spiral.

Tebow got an 890 on his SAT. He's a very good guy, but is a simpleton. He has absolutely no business holding any form of public office any time soon, if ever.

I assure you many simpletons have held elected office.
LOL^ This is true.
However, he may one day get into politics but now is not the time. He has a great deal with ABC/ESPN and can make a ton of money talking about football. In 10 years, we may have a different discussion.
