According to Jennifer Garner, her fellow actor and pal, Alec Baldwin, definitely has what it takes to throw himself in the candidate pool for New York's 2013 mayoral election. The actress dropped by 'Fox & Friends' in NYC earlier today to voice both her and her husband, Ben Affleck's support of Baldwin the politician."I think he should go for it. He can run and let people vote. I stand up for Alec Baldwin," Garner said.
Although Baldwin does not have any real government experience, Garner thinks that he would more than fit the bill.

NY has enough problems without adding an unqualified candidate especially for a city as large as New York. Celebs should stay in their make believe world and leave the heavy lifting to those who experience it every day.

Well, if Mrs. Affleck says it's ok, then I guess the guy is a shoo-in. By the way...didn't Ben get caught trying to get out the vote while not having voted himself a few years back? No credibility issues there...
These people wear costumes, put on makeup and play act for a living. What makes them think they are capable of being successful politicians? I weep for us here in NYC if Baldwin gets the vote.
Bravo, liked what you wrote.
"These people wear costumes, put on makeup and play act for a living." Sure sounds like a politician to me.
What is wrong with these people? Alex Baldwin is crazy!!! The dad who called cursing his little girl and called her a pig...yes we would want him to be making decisions for us....Im sure Ms. Garner would let him babysit her children too....

You are so right! This is also the man who was "violent"towards his ex wife Kim. If memory serves me correctly he also had temper tantrums while doing off Broadway a few years back. Punching walls because the theatre was too hot. Not sure how true it is but nevertheless still out there to think about.
I DIDN'T REALIZE JENNIFER WAS ON DRUGS! SHE WOULD PROBABLY LOVE CHARLIE SHEEN AS V.P.!!!!

JENNIFER CAN'T BE TO BRIGHT....SHE MARRIED BEN!

This Baldwin always had mental issues. Prior to Bush's re-election he stated that he'd move to France if George was re-elected. I wish he'd kept his word. His personal life is a train wreck. If he can't get that under control I doubt he has what it takes to run our largest city.

How...i am sooooo glad that she thinks this guy should run...now because she is a star we're supposed to vote for this idiot...hey Jennifer...maybe you and some of your other brainless morons can get together and do a video like Demi Moore and other made(for Obama) pledging alliengence to him....
When are stars going to stop thinking because they're actors they know better than we do...they don't...if you really want an actor to run i suggest getting Wayne Rogers...now there is someone i would vote for...oh thats right...he's a conservative not a progessive who wants to turn this country into a socialist piece of sh_t.

Now I wish I lived in NYC - so I could vote against Baldwin 20 times. The man is an egotistical idiot, hothead, and liar. He promised a few times to move from the USA - but has reneged each time. He is an actor (actually a "B" actor - unless they have C actors in which case he is a "C" actor) and this is his way to keep his name in fron of the public or he'd have gone down in ignominy years ago. He "throws" his name out there so people know he is alive. As they say - "He is a legend in his own mind!" Go away Alec - gracefully please!

Well said. My thoughts exactly!
OMG, another proof positive that Hollywood is home to a major portion of this country's idiots! In the first place, Fat Alec is so unqualified, not to mention as crazy as a loon. I agree with a previous poster that wishes AB would have moved his fat a** out of the country when President Bush was elected. And why doesn't Jennifer Garner just keep her bazoo shut? I mean, who really cares about her OR her husband's opinion. Clearly misuse of celebrity, once again. And we know how good at that most of them are.

This story has nauseated me for the afternoon. Alec Baldwin is a bottom feeder. He is a violent, unbalanced, narcissitic man. Yes, there are many politicians like that. No, we don't need another one.

OMG. Here, here fruitcake...every part of this bs is just that.

And what, exactly, is Ms. Garner's endorsement worth with the mayoral election two years away...?

What an airhead - stick to poor acting - the last thing New York needs is a mediocre actor running the show.

I think Alec Baldwin would be simply great as Mayor of NY. He's a democrat, he's for the things that really matter to me. He's a good Dad. He fought tooth and nail to see his daughter all the time. Not many dads do that. He made a mistake calling his daughter names but I'm sure that was from frustration. He's got my vote.

WOW, THSTS A JOKE I MISSED SOMEHOW. THE CITY HAS SERIOUS TROUBLES AND YOU WANT A CRUMMY USELESS ACTOR TO TAKE OVER. FOR NY YOU WANT A DEATH WISH? JENNIFER IS NO MORE THAN A HOLLYWOOD TWIT. I CANT BELEIVE YOU FOLKS EXISTS. YOU ARE ALL AIR HEADS WHO DISERVE WHAT YOU GET. DONT ASK FOR A BAIL OUT.
