Lance Armstrong for Congress?
At least one major Democratic Senator would like to see the leading cyclist run for public office, reports the AP's John Leicester.
Sen. John Kerry thinks Lance Armstrong would make a terrific politician — but fears he'd be running for the other party.In other news, Armstrong just won his 7th Tour de France.
Watching Armstrong during his warmup for Saturday's time trial, the Democrat from Massachusetts listed the Texan's winning qualities.
"What's made him so special at the Tour de France, and as an athlete, is the level of focus, discipline, intelligence, strategic ability, and obviously, his endurance — his ability to just take it on and go," Kerry said.
Those qualities would serve Armstrong well in politics, Kerry said. But Armstrong is also friendly with fellow Texan President Bush.
