Senator Affleck?

The democrats are truly scraping the bottom of the barrel with this: Virginia hasn’t been kind to Hollywood celebrities who dabble in politics. That hasn’t stopped rumors that actor Ben Affleck is being courted to challenge Republican George F. Allen for his U.S. Senate seat in 2008. The tidbit appeared this week in The Washington Post’s gossip column, which also noted that Affleck has been spotted shopping for property near Charlottesville. On Monday, C. Richard Cranwell, chairman of the state Democratic Party, declined to discuss Affleck. Affleck’s publicist has denied the chatter. The dude hasn't had a hit on his hands for years, clearly the kind of winning material for a democratic candidate for the US Senate. No?

Being a carpet bagger won't play well in Virginia. He is afterall from Boston. If he wants to run run against Kerry or Kennedy in his home state. Or better yet, move to WV (his wife's home state) and run against Robert Bird.
