CLEVELAND, Ohio (AP) -- Far from the final frontier, "Star Trek" fans gravitated to a political fund-raiser, drawn by the prospect of seeing no less than two Star Fleet captains.
Tim Hagan, a Democrat running for governor against a Republican incumbent with the Taft family political lineage and 20 times as much money, isn't shy about using his Hollywood connection.
Hagan's wife is actress Kate Mulgrew, who commands a loyal following from her days as Capt. Kathryn Janeway on "Star Trek: Voyager."
And on Saturday, a fund-raiser for Hagan's campaign featured Mulgrew along with several of her fellow cast members, including Tim Russ (Vulcan security chief Tuvok) and Garrett Wang (Ensign Harry Kim).
The crew of Voyager was joined by William Shatner, Capt. James T. Kirk of the Enterprise on the original "Star Trek."
Is this any way to run a campaign for governor in the nation's seventh-largest state?

ST:TOS was quite pro-individual, and staunchly anti-Communist, even having a pro-Christian episode (Bread And Circuses).

Perhaps the Dems are hoping for help from Species 8472. Already running for governor in Florida. I heard both parties in California are running aliens too.

ST always struck me as this socialist utopia realized.It's pretty easy to live in a socialist paradise when you can use the replicator to create whatever you want. How could you possibly assign value to anything if you could replicate a rolex from (literally) a pile of horse crap?

I'm not sure if Simon is an alien, but he may be an Ent.

ST: TOS = Star Trek, the Old Fogies
ST: TNG = Star Trek, the Politically Correct Generation
ST: DS9 = Star Trek, the Babylon 5 wannabe
ST: Enterprise = Star Trek meets Quantum Link

Ohio's Democrat party is clearly "Lost in Space" as they hold NO statewide offices.

Jim Traficant and HIS bad hairpiece
and now we know his hairpiece is actually a dead tribble. The Trek-Ohio connection is HUGE!
To: SkyPilot
This is the same actress as in the above pic.
To: Salgak
Shatner's not showing up here out of any "patriotic calling."
That's for damned sure.
...only question is, how much is he charging for the appearence?
