First, I didn't think Gilbert could win. But, next most predictable - if she did, the liberal left would cry foul - somehow. They found a way.

This just proves what I've always thought to be fact. Many of the actors are conservative, but are afraid to say so in public fearing never working in that town again.

Congratulations to Melissa Gilbert on her election!

Yes, she may be a Democrat (unwritten but required party affiliation if you want to work in Hollywood) and her V.P., Mike Farrell, is probably still a committed liberal but I see Gilbert being to SAG what Rudy Giuliani is to New York politics; as conservative as you can get and still be elected, which is a very big deal in Hollywood.

One has to consider that the events of September 11th had some bearing on the election, as well as Gilbert's classy persona compared to the shrill and obnoxious Harper. In any event, it's a good win for conservatives, although it may not have much impact on our lives. Shows a shift in thinking, even in Hollywood. That's immense - and welcome.

I think Gilbert Gottfried will make a FINE SAG President...

Hey if 'Rhoda' gets really snippy, Gilbert can always call in the gang from 'Babylon 5' to open up a can us whupp a** on her! After all, Melissa is married to the Commander!

[real saxophonist]

Well, 'Babylon5' beats the hell out of 'Rhoda'...

Has Valerie Harper sent a planeload of lawyers in yet? has Boies been contacted? Daley? Warren Christopher? Will it be five weeks before this comes to fruition? ("Twilight Zone" music running through my head.....)

[Politico2]

Now Valerie Harper wants a recount:

Still Counting

Just when the Florida voting is finally tallied up, yet another presidential race will be challenged. Screen Actors Guild presidential candidate Valerie Harper is challenging Melissa Gilbert's win, according to Variety. Harper lost to Gilbert by a margin of 1,588 votes.
