1. Don King is probably making him do it. King supported Bush in 04.

[rzemanfl]

2. Well, I will be leaving DU now, I just love the taste of raw ear and

will blindly follow Mike wherever he leads me.

[spag68]

3. I'm pretty sure his endorsement won't count for much.

[Fridays Child]

6. Among sentient beings, Tyson's endorsement should hurt Steele.

[SharonAnn]

16. Mike Tyson is brain damaged.

21. I'm not so sure...

...any foray Steele makes into the black vote will hurt his Democratic opponent. The repugs usually receive virtually no votes from blacks.

Not a bad strategy, they probably got him for cheap.

4. A new poll has Steele tied with Cardin

I think Obama needs to spend a lot of time in Maryland explaining that he needs Cardin in the Senate to help. A lot of African Americans think that the Maryland Democrats have taken them for granted; they may be tempted to vote for Steele for that reason. Steele has run a good campaign, and Cardin has no charisma. Of course, Steele is wrong on all the issues, in my opinion.

9. Link?...

All the polls I've seen recently have Cardin up between 7-10 points!

18. A good assessment of this race

Cardin lacks charisma and his ads have all the flavor of the 1970's, whereas Steele is charismatic and his ads are very slick. Steele is an asshole but Cardin needs some bigtime Dem personalities to help him out in Maryland!

5. Tyson was married to Steele's sister

[Wickerman]

7. Talk about your ringing endorsements

:eyes:

Wouldn't any politician want the Froot Loops endorsement?

[SaveElmer]

8. Well I'm sure a convicted Rapist will be very helpful...

Why wouldn't Steele denounce this immedietely?

11. King killed a guy. n/t

[Systematic Chaos]

10. Mike Tyson is whatever is feeding and housing him this week.

And last time I checked a pay phone, his endorsement and fifty cents would get me a pay phone call.

[judaspriestess]

12. hilarious

this dude needs the money

[ramapodem]

13. well.....

he is batshit crazy

[Doctor_J]

14. A murderer and a rapist endorse Steele

what could be better?

[NoSheep]

15. Mike Tyson is brain dead. Ah. Redundant.

[Divine Discontent]

17. I agree with the other DU'er...

This should help Cardin. Any one with slightly an IQ above 80 would think Tyson is a wacko cruel person. IQ isn't necessarily an indicator of an open minded person, it does have its merits however, and seeing Tyson support Steele should be a commercial made by the OTHER side...

[snowbear]

19. No offense... but who gives a ----- ????

I mean.. :shrug: .... is having a rapist endorse you supposed to influence voters?

[terrya]

20. I'd be concerned if this was someone important.

But since it's Mike Tyson, who really cares?

[AX10]

22. And we have Barack Obama!

[Rocknrule]

23. He's a carnage-loving rabid sociopath

Of course he's a Republican

[Totally Committed]

24. Russell Simmons is supporting Steele, fercryinoutloud!

It's one thing to have a brain-dead neanderthal supporting him, but a thoughtful, intelligent, successful celebrity like Simmons is, to me, incomprehensible.

Hasn't Simmons always been progressive?
