DES MOINES, Iowa--He's mentioned during the presidential candidates' speeches. His image appears in their political ads. Is Tim Tebow the new Ronald Reagan?

What does a young NFL quarterback have to do with politics? Nothing, really. But the born-again athlete's star power and popularity have prompted several of the presidential candidates to try to hook themselves to his star.

A political action committee supporting Bachmann is the latest to get in on the Tebow comparison, running TV ads in Iowa that liken her to the 24-year-old born-again Christian.

Not all that sure it is wise to compare your campaign to a QB that has a three game losing streak.

We are in deep trouble. Some idiot in the comments wrote “Tebow for President”. My goodness they don’t teach government in schools. I guess the 35 age limit should be ignored. I wouldn’t want him for President anyway. Sheesh continue playing football. We get too caught up with so and so being President. I remember when Joe the Plumber said a statement suddenly people were saying “Joe the Plumber for President”. Free Republic should ban all “such and such for President” sayings. lol.
