REPORT: REID WANTS DE LA HOYA TO RUN FOR NV OFFICE: RED STATE (consider the source) reports Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) is “working to recruit boxing legend Oscar de la Hoya to run against (U.S. Representative Jon) Porter in 2008.”

It probably won’t happen, considering De la Hoya is still looking to milk his boxing career for 1-2 more big money fights - like the fraud that was his square dance with Floyd Mayweather, Jr.

Not to mention ODLH’s documented legal issues, which include, according to R-S:

• “De la Hoya was sued by his former fiancé for palimony, a case in which the woman accused him of violating a restraining order. She and De la Hoya had a daughter prior to their split.”

• “He was also accused of raping a 15 year old girl in a Cabo San Lucas hotel room in 1996. De La Hoya denied the rape charge, but settled with the woman out-of-court.“
