This is a man that treats his children really bad, and then use's his wife as an excuse. Yea he should be in congress. Anyone that treats woman and children badly will do good in congress..........go america.

The distinguished gentleman from LA-LA land got it right when he said "It's all fantasy". The democratic party is "all fantasy". You have the newly elected joke from Minnesota, Stuart Smalley and you have the joke of a president, B.O. that thinks we need to go into debt to fund sunflower research in Kansas (see spendulous program). The only problem is none of this is funny.

Oh good. Another actor.

I was worried that some political scientist, historian, philosopher, economist, legal scholar, Nobel Prize winner, or social scientist might want to run for office.

Some people would have instant support just because of who they are : Chuck Norris for President of Texas (oh please leave the Union the sooner the better) comes to mind. So could Alec Baldwin win in New York? You betcha wink wink.

so he's just going to chose some random state, establish citizenship then run for office thinking the people of that state or district would vote for an outsider opportunist like that?

He better stick to NY. They don't mind outsiders like RFK and Clinton using their state for their political careers.

The bar has been set so low anyone and their dog can run for national office. Put lipstick on a pig and you have a political candidate, or even a former governor running for president.

Is this really a news story? Looks like an Entertainment Tonight piece. Mr. Baldwin, you are correct. Those "guys" will have a field day with you. I imagine talk radio will begin campaign stories about you by playing your infamous phone rant with your daughter. Please spare us (and yourself).

Baldwin seems like a great guy and has long shown strong commitment as a good liberal. I hope he runs and wins.

If Mr. Baldwin were truly a man of his word, then would he not be running for political office in Canada by now? I'm actually no fan of his politics, but any actor who is willing to actually run for office and become a professional politician (thereby putting their money where their mouth is) is worthy of some measure of... respect or pity, I can't decide which.

Shut up and dance, sing or tell a joke..or get off the stage! I could care less about Alec Baldwin's politics....Geeesh!

Didn't this man state he was thinking of moving out of the country, because George Bush was elected president?

Cue GOP's hypocritic bashing of celebrities and how they don't know what 'real' America is like in 3, 2, 1...

Unlike the vast majority of DC congressmen, Baldwin had poor parents, actually worked real jobs and lived paycheck to paycheck before making it big!
