WASHINGTON (CNN) – Emmy Award winner Alec Baldwin is eyeing a post-acting career that could take him off a Hollywood soundstage into the halls of Congress.
Baldwin, who currently stars in the NBC comedy "30 Rock," told Playboy magazine that he is seriously considering running for Congress. But he acknowledged his opponents would have plenty of fodder to use against him.
"I'll put it this way," he told the magazine. "The desire is there; that's one component. The other component is opportunity."
A native New Yorker, Baldwin said he has been approached by an unnamed Democratic law firm who wanted him to run for governor of Ohio, and he has also considered moving to New Jersey or Connecticut to run for office.

Baldwin should move to Minnesota. He would have an excellent chance of winning, and upgrading Minnesota’s Senate representation in the process.

If he were a Republican something like that would sink him...with the Dims, it’s an advantage...ask Minnesota’s newest senator.

Heck if Franken can steal and election it must be Alex’s turn. He’ll just call up anyone who won’t vote and threaten to kill them, stone them to death, call them dirty names.

He might have a shot if he moves to Minnesota.
Speaking of The Bloviator, is anyone able to find that show where he called for stoning Henry Hyde to death and murdering the wives and families of the Congressmen who voted to impeach Clinton?
