1. An actor for public office?

The Republicans would never stand for it...

2. Representative of Cool

Well, aging cool, but whatever.

3. I was thinking U.S. Senator. Why not?

He is so enormously famous and wonderfully attractive, to men and women both. He certainly has the money and lots of leftists in Hollywood would support him. I think men as well as women are fascinated by him...he is tantalizing to watch. He might have to give up his house in northern Italy, but that's not a big deal...he doesn't have a college degree but I guess with his profile he doesn't need one...

I will pay to see him read the telephone book...so I am not very objective on him...god, he's cute...

7. He couldn't be any worse than Ronald Reagan ...

... who got into politics because he didn't like progressive taxation.

8. Guessing he's probably more interested in an ambassadorship or spokesperson of a public initiative.

Realistically, he's not running for the Presidency straight-off. He's a long-term NYer living in CA...2 states with a total of 4 Democratic Senators none of whom I'm expecting to retire. The House is probably not a big enough office to justify retiring from the movies even temporarily. Probably not seeking a governorship without previous executive office.

So that leaves non-elected offices like Ambassador to ________ or public-spokesman jobs like the one Kal Penn had.

10. The question is why would he put himself through all that crap

He can do so much more good as a private citizen. Plus the guy is finally getting married. I wouldn't blame him for wanting to settle down a little.

11. He should run against Rand Paul in KY in 2016

Clooney is a born and bred Kentuckian. He would mop the floor with Rand's poodle hair when he got through with him.
