Al Leiter for Senate??? Has anyone watched him broadcast a Yankee game? I mean, here’s a guy whose chief qualification is that he grew up in New Jersey and pitched some big games for the Mets. But really, Al Leiter for Senate? Really?
Granted, Leiter has been actively involved in charity work, but something about a Leiter candidacy just smacks of the absurd.
Plus, has anyone noticed how the star turn turned out in Pennsylvania? Remember Lynn Swan, star receiver for the Pittsburgh Steelers, managed to lose in a serious thumping in his race for governor (he managed a paltry 40 percent).
Frank Lautenberg maybe old, but it would be foolish to underestimate his political abilities in a state as blue as New Jersey.
