Hartford, Conn. (AP) -- A spokesman for Alec Baldwin says the actor has no plans to challenge Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman in the 2012 election.

Matthew Hiltzik said Monday that Baldwin does not plan to move to Connecticut or to run. He says the "30 Rock" star wants Lieberman to stay in office because there are so few moderate Republicans in the Senate. Lieberman was re-elected in 2006 as an independent after he lost the Democratic primary.

The Film Actors Guild is sooooo disappointed!

He's no Republican. Even if he would have run on the McCainiac's ticket, he would've been Republican in Name Only.

He got kicked OUT of the Democrat Party but he is still a loyalist.

Joe Lieberman is not a "moderate Republican".

Keep lying Alec.

"wants Lieberman to stay in office because there are so few moderate Republicans in the Senate"

Ohhhh I get it Arec, you making a funny!

[first rule of making funny Arec? it has to be FUNNY, like your aspirations to be some kind of political sage]

I heard Lieberman respond to this. When asked about Baldwin’s potential run he said, “Make my day!”

Is he still a Film Actors Guilder?

[Mac from Cleveland]

If Baldwin gets much fatter, he can try to get himself named as the 51st state....

Alec looked at his Child Support and ALIMONY, and decided he can’t afford the PAY CUT!!!

[RoseofTexas]

Those prostitutes from HELLywood have been empowered by the election of that STUPID pimp Franken!!

[TigersEye]

That’s too bad. I was hoping to see Arec become subject to his own demand for Henry Hyde and his family.

[Bullish]

yup, what you said.
