Now THAT'S An Endorsement

I've been trying to come up with a worse person to come out with you on the campaign trail, but I honestly can't think of one. John Mark Karr? Robert Mugabe? Mark Foley?

You can't beat Mike Tyson:

At the press conference, Tyson posed for photos with fans, signed autographs and campaigned for Maryland U.S. Senate candidate Michael Steele.

Tyson, wearing a white and blue Steele for U.S. Senate T-shirt, said he used to believe black Republicans were "sellouts." But Tyson said he changed his mind after researching the Maryland lieutenant governor.

"We have to open our eyes more," Tyson said, as he pointed to his T-shirt.

There's no doubt in my mind that convicted murderer Don King talked him into this. Quite a one-two punch there for Mr. Steele, I'd say. The "ear-biting rapist with Maori face tattoo" vote is sewn up, as is the "kick the life out of a man" vote, I'd gather.
