Report: Tim Tebow considering open Florida House seat, would be ‘shoo-in’



Tim Tebow is a natural for politics. There is an open House appropriator seat coming available in Florida after Rep. Ander Crenshaw announced his upcoming retirement, and Tebow just so happens to live in the district.

Thousands of low information voters at the beginning of the primary season, of course.

Rutherford has quickly become a formidable candidate for the office, winning the support of Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry and major GOP donor Peter Rummell even before he had committed to run. He is the first high-profile candidate to announce a run.

His girlfriend just broke up with him a few months ago over it. She got tired of waiting for him to sleep with her according to the rumors.

Lets see how he handles all that "reality" that constantly get thrown at politicians. His ego will have problems dealing with the daily grind that a Rep goes through. Another crash N burn little timmy.
