Republi K an?
Yes, Coach K.Via CNN:
A state divided over basketball and politics. As if cheering for Duke or the North Carolina Tarheels were not enough to divide voters, two legendary basketball coaches have taken sides in the U.S. Senate race. Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski, better known as Coach K, is hosting a fund-raiser tonight for [2002 Senate candidate] Republican Elizabeth Dole, while former UNC head coach Dean Smith last week hosted a competing event for Dole's opponent, Democrat Erskine Bowles.
Will Coach K ever run for office himself? Only time will tell. But, again, I wouldn't be surprised to see a Draft Krzyzewski movement after he retires from coaching.
