Republicans are coveting the endorsement of Tim Tebow...

So far, he has restrained himself from endorsing any of the clowns running on the Republican ticket.

Many folks in Colorado see him as nothing more than a good kid that loves to play football. He is a product of his environment but he is a very competitive athlete. He has proved to be an interesting distraction for an otherwise dull pro football schedule.

Will he endorse one of the Repubs? I doubt it. Rick Perry mentioned him the other day in one of his speeches but he got no response from Tebow.

I think the young man is mainly thinking of football right now, not politics. Just my impression from here in Colorado.

That's his first job.
Then if he wants to endorse, I don't see any problem with it.
If he endorses before the playoffs are over, I think it will be a big distraction to the team. I don't think that's fair to his teammates. Just play ball for now.

I had to look him up on Wikipedia and I use to be a Bronco's fan during Elway's time when I lived there.

America....... what a country.

...he endorsed Obama.

Yeah. I know. And if my grandmother had wheels, she'd be a teacart.

Tim Tebow has a wet noddle for an arm. the fundies are saying that it is divine intervention that is winning football games.
now while I do believe God is a Bronco fan because of Orange sunsets.
I seriously doubt any divine intervention is at play here.

it is the Focus on Family crowd that is pushing this nonsense. therefore any republican looking for his endorsement is perusing nonsense.

And it all comes from Tim's mom flipping a coin and beating the odds... 50/50 [lol]
