1. He would make a lousy candidate

He's viewed as being part of the "Limoseune Liberal" crowd. His dad ran for a congressional seat in the Cincinati suburbs of northern KY in 2004 and lost. I want someone like Jim Webb or Jon Tester, not someone that can be easily caricatured.

2. I think Democrats have a tougher time getting celebrities elected than Repubs

And it would be even tougher in KY.

3. not going to happen

Clooney himself lives in France...right?? and from what I read, he figures he has more clout doing what he does so well...rather than being an honest to god, politico...
Why on earth would he want to do such a thing...the man has it all...and what's more, he has it just the way he wants it...you can't improve on perfect....(even though I still say, a Clark/Clooney ticket might just win)...
