Super Sunday and Super Tuesday have both come and gone. With each passing day, we grow closer to a new reign in Washington D.C. With names like Clinton, Obama, McCain and Romney currently dominating presidential talks, dark horses lurk in the shadows waiting for their chances to take office in the nation’s capital. Sports figures often get involved in politics after their professional careers and are at times successful. Here is my list of prominent figures who may be ready to win America’s vote on Nov. 4.

Jay Wright

Party: None. He is the party.

Stances: Wright is a proud supporter of the Four-Guard Offense. He also is pro-half-court press but has strong reservations on policies regarding St. Joseph’s University.
