Last week, when Curt Schilling said he was considering a run for U.S. Senate, he said it was because many people he respected had asked him to consider running. Who where these people? Turns out, one of them was John McCain.
When former Boston Red Sox ace Curt Schilling started making noise last week about pursuing Ted Kennedy's Senate seat, he said he had been contacted by several people about running - but he declined to say by whom.
It turns out one of those people was John McCain.
McCain's spokeswoman Brooke Buchanan told CNN Tuesday that the former GOP presidential nominee - a friend of Kennedy's - spoke to Schilling last week and encouraged him to seek the office.
McCain initiated the conversation.
So does this mean McCain, who is also up for re-election in 2010, will tap his national fundraising network to help Schilling win this race? Time will tell.
