Hello Mr. Schilling, just wanted to say I am a big fan. First off thank you for helping the records of the many good ball clubs you played on which teams I have been a big fan of in the sports world. I also want to say thank you for your charitable work and for supporting good candidates during the election season. I saw you in Peterborough NH for the McCain rally which was a great experience for me a person who has always wanted to be more involved in politics. So thank you for all of this, going to get back to reading your latest interesting blog entries.

I voted for Brian Moore of the Socialist Party; I’ve always regarded the two major parties as not really being that different from each other. That said, I can say that it was McCain’s choice of Palin that cost him the race and to me she seemed to be the second coming of Dan Quayle. That perception seemed to be in play.

Obama will have a couple of major tasks to accomplish…namely trying to clean up the mess Bush is going to leave and restoring respect for the US.

President elect Obama is also half white. But for me color was not an issue, he could be purple with green stripes……..
I too voted for McCain but I hope and pray President elect Obama is the best president our generation will see. I hope he is all he was voted in for.

I appreciate your willingness to look ahead and support the President-Elect, who won more than handily. However, as I did not appreciate your using the Red Sox first championship in 86 years as a platform to tell everyone to vote for Bush (how’d that work out for you?), nor did I think much of your comparing Obama to the Yankees and McCain to the Red Sox in your campaigning for McCain. You seem to forget what state the Red Sox are in. I can guarantee you that you offended more people than not with that ridiculous comparison.

Most of us true Red Sox fans would appreciate it if you would quit using the Red Sox to further your personal political agendas.

Good luck in your post-baseball career, and thanks again for ’04.

Hey Curtis ..

Election night was one of my worst nightmares EVER !!!! Some friends and I went to Florida the last week before the election to work the McCain/Palin campaign to the end .. It was one of the greatest experiences ever! I agree with everything you said here, and you wrote it all with a ton of class .. something I could NOT have done ! The McCains are ABSOLUTE WONDERFUL people .. In my opinion, a LARGE percentage of the U.S. has lost their mind ! I have NOTHING nice to say in regards to the election so, I will just say great job on your blog, very classy ! : )

I love ya, man, but I never liked McCain. He’s a stiff, stodgy, old warmonger. His campaign was vicious and laughable. He’s totally out of touch with the poorest of Americans. Cindy McCain would make Nancy Reagan look like a pauper, and yes, I voted for Reagan in the 80′s.
The speech McCain made last week in Phoenix was the most eloquent and gracious I’d ever seen the man. Perhaps if he ran his campaign that way, I’d be more inclined to have taken a second look. I can now climb out my 8 year sadness and look forward to better days ahead. At least now we’ll have a President who can pronouce the word ‘nuclear’. It’s our turn now and that’s what makes America so great.

If you ever run for public office in Massachusetts or anywhere else for that matter, I will work relentlessly to make sure that you are soundly defeated Schilling.

Curt’s testimony under oath in front of congress may be a big problem with a potential Senate bid.

I too was a McCain supporter and I am very disappointed. I am however encouraged by a couple of things. First, while I am a conservative, I am pleased that liberals have total control over the next two years minimum, because now they will have no excuses if they fail. Second, and probably more importantly, people voted in huge numbers, in the past we have had such an apathetic approach to politics that the powers that be saw no need for a change of course. I am also pleased that the country seemed to look past the race issue and look at the man, even if I disagree with his politics. The one thing that does disappoint me is the amount of so-called conservatives that voted for the President elect. When you elect a president, you are electing more than just a single person, you are electing the values and beleifs of an entire party. If you call yourself a conservative and you voted against your beleifs because you didn’t like McCain, you wasted an opportunity to voice your true voice. This might not seem like a big deal, but remember, President elect Obama will most likley have the opportunity to appoint 2-3 Supreme Court Justices during his term in office, that is a huge deal! For as much criticism as President Bush has recieved, and some of it deserved, I believe his legacy will lie with the appointments he has made to the Supreme Court. Remember, these are lifetime appointments and todays appointment may shape the way our constitution is interpreted for the next quarter of a century. I do not believe the framers of our Constitution wrote the most important document in history with an eye on protecting criminals, giving rights to folks here illegally, allowing government to grow well beyond the means of the people it has been established to work for, just to scratch the surface. These are but a few issues in which there are basic, yet distinct fundemental differences in the ideology of the two major parties in this country. While I am encouraged that so many people voted, now I wish to see Americans raise their collective political IQ and pay attention to what is important to you as a citizen, and the for the country as a whole. Although I am disappointed in the outcome of this election, I congratulate the President elect and his supporters and truly hope that he succeeds.
