Cripes, I don't know who to hate more: Schilling, the Sox, or the Sox fans who will vote for him:

It has long been assumed that Schilling, 42, with his outspoken activism including high-profile campaigns to raise money to fight ALS and to boost awareness of the dangers of skin cancer, harbored political ambitions. But most believed he would run for the Senate from Arizona, where he also pitched a team to a World Series title and where his strident conservatism and born-again faith would be more in fashion with voters than in the blue-state bastion of Massachusetts. But Arizona appears blocked, with Jon Kyl ensconced as Senate minority whip and John McCain showing no sign of wanting to retire to any of his homes. Massachusetts has the obvious virtue of an open seat with no obvious successor to Kennedy.
