Pros: Born in Alaska, WWII history buff, runs a publishing company, great pitcher who will be Hall of Fame (when? not son enough!), and supports Bush.
Cons: All four of his kids have names that start with the same letter.
Think he could do a victory lap through the Maine Congressional district that's wavering? It'll be like he personally gave Bush a single EV. That would be wicked cool.
When I subscribed to the GEnie online network in the early 90s, Curt was quite active on the wargaming forums during the off season. It took me a while to realize that the online Curt Schilling and the famous ballplayer were the same guy. He was always very outgoing and polite. It was a pleasure to talk with him about one of our common hobbies, and I gained a large amount of respect for him back then. Recent events have only increased that.
Curt, if you're a Freeper and reading this, I'd just like to wish you congratulations. You've earned every bit of the success that has come your way.
