Breitbart's Big Hollywood reports that Alec Baldwin is thinking about running for mayor of New York City:
The â30 Rockâ star, who has long talked about running for political office, believes Weinergate has shaken up the field of candidates enough that he might have a chance to win, a friend of the actor told The Daily.
âAlec said, âHey, maybe this changes the race. The dynamics have shifted,â â said Baldwinâs pal.
âThe Democrats need a high-profile candidate, and Alec can fill that bill.â
Please don't run for mayor, Alec Baldwin. Let's leave this whole celebrities-turned-politicians shtick to the Republicans. In the big picture, Democrats are doing a pretty good job being the adults of the political world. An unserious high-profile candidateâespecially a beloved actor with a few horrendous mistakes in his pastâwould make the entire party look bad.
