Would Hershel Walker do a commercial for JEB!?

Raise your hand for JEB! in 2016?
Hershel Walker found great success and fame on the football field, some short success as a mixed martial artist, and now he is quite successful as a motivational speaker. He also ought to consider modeling, given his rather impressive debut in ESPN's 2010 "Body Issue."   Mr. Walker has found time lately to endorse one Jack Kingston, a Republican running for US Senate in Georgia.  JEB! and Marco Rubio are also endorsing Kingston in his run-off bid against David Perdue.  Ironically Perdue (a corporate fat cat cousin to former GOP Georgia governor Sonny Perdue) has consistently polled better than Kingston against Democrat Michelle Nunn.

Walker's ads are financed by the U.S. (not Georgia) Chamber of Commerce, so given the polling paradox, and that JEB! is endorsing Kingston also, you have to conclude that there is something about Perdue that makes the right wing segment of the national plutocracy worry he might be too "independent" as a Senator, even though he is sort of one of them.  "Independent" like maybe George Soros, or Warren Buffet.

Also, it might be important to know, should Kingston not be able to win in November, that Michelle Nunn, the alternative, is the former director of George H. W. Bush's Points of Light foundation, and reports "good relations" with the Bush family.  Don't expect her to spend much time with Elizabeth Warren if she makes it to the Senate as a "Democrat."
