STRONGSVILLE, Ohio // U.S. Senate candidate Michael S. Steele garnered support from an unlikely source Monday -- former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson.

At the news conference in Ohio, where he will return to the ring Friday night, Tyson wore a white-and-blue "Steele for U.S. Senate" T-shirt as he posed for photos with fans and signed autographs.

Tyson said he used to believe black Republicans were "sellouts," but he 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.

What's the law out there, and I thought he was living in Nevada anyway.

[MadMaddie]

5. A Great Endorsement!

Too bad Cardin couldn't get this convicted rapist on his side...That's Republicna law and order for you.

14. I agree, I'm thrilled with this

While I can't understand WHY anyone would accept Tyson's endorsement (except maybe not wanting to tell him no?), I'm enjoying it. Maybe John Mark Karr can endorse some repubs too, lol.

6. And Don King too. Nice having someone who kicked a man to death

campaign for you

7. Why not his owner Don King endorses the shrub

[frylock]

8. did he threaten to eat benjamin cardin's children?

[Blue_Tires]

9. what the story failed to mention of course

is that Mike Tyson's previous wife, Monica Turner, is Steele's sister

[Solomon]

17. Exactly. Steele is his brother-in-law. Nothing to see here. Move

on.

10. is this supposed to be considered a positive endorsement ?

[sandnsea]

12. Don't understand these boxers

Evander Holyfield endorsed Bush too. I don't get these guys. They all admire Ali, you'd think they'd pay at least a little attention to his politics. Just weird. As to Tyson and Don King, I can't figure out why anybody would want their endorsements anyway.

15. All those blows to the head is my guess n/t

[Vidar]

13. Capturing the thug vote.

[Justice Is Comin]

16. He better be wearing ear muffs when they do rallies.

18. I mo' vote for you! nt

[Maine-ah]

19. who cares what this man thinks.
