Alec Baldwin Considering A Run For Mayor of NYC
Posted on Wed Jun 8, 2011 09:40 AM PDT
Move over Arnold Schwarzenegger! Alec Baldwin may become the latest actor-turned-politician to run for office.
A source tells The Daily that the 30 Rock star is "mulling over a 2013 run for the Mayorship of New York City."
Baldwin's rep released the following statement:
- "I wouldn't rule it out."
With all the drama surrounding the online photo scandal involving politician Anthony Weiner, a source close to Baldwin adds that "the scandal may have opened the door" for the actor to move into the political spotlight. At a press conference on Monday, Weiner, 46, admitted to having online affairs with six women in the past three years. He also confessed that lewd photos online were, indeed, him.
Baldwin recently hit up Twitter to voice his suggestions regarding national policy. Read what he had to say ... after the jump.
Baldwin gave suggestions for investment in infrastructure, higher tolls and single commuter fees and clean energy research. We'll see what happens come election time!

He Needs to RUN around the Block 50 times and lose 30 lbs. That guy still has some nice youth left in his face.. just covered with bloat.
NYers are dumb not suicidal.
Well if he's dumb enough he can run on the Republican ticket.
What a nitwit. Baldwin has proven that he is too unpredictable to actually hold any public position of authority. Being Pete Schweddy doesn't qualify this big dope to sell pretzels. Why is this guy so busy putting himself in the public spotlight.? Just seems very bizarre, in a creepy way, like those awful tv ads.
