30. And that's the real problem with an Affleck candidacy
in pretty much ANY state, but especially one with a recent history of conservative leanings, fascist tiltings, or downright head-over-heels rightwing nuttiness. Hollywood is automatically pilloried, seen as a strike against a person's credibility, no matter how articulate or intelligent otherwise. And even among those who appreciate theatre and cinema, Affleck's best films (e.g. Chasing Amy) probably go unwatched in VA by anyone over 40 for moral reasons.

So someone else has to do it.
