Draft Matt Damon? Let's draft Tom Hanks first!
Both are progressive and very well-respected in Hollywood. Tom Hanks is liked by all, and he completed his college education, (Matt did not). I don't think Americans are ready to elect a college drop-out, much less than anyone who has less than a Master's or a JD. If Matt Damon, Ben Afflek, or Tom Hanks would take time out to further their educations, I'd be all over them like a bee on honey.

1. Tom Hanks is a nice guy or at least that's my impression. Frankly, we need an asshole.

4. I think he's got the right stuff
I saw a recent interview with Tom Hanks where he admitted he could be a complete asshole at times.

6. Hanks/Damon ticket? I think I saw that movie once...
I seem to recall it was a bit of a bloodbath but they won in the end... A sequel might be pushing it though.

7. They're both millionaires. Tax the crap out of them.
It's kinda funny that we have no faith in our political class and want to turn to people who make a living pretending to be someone else.
