(63,912 posts)He is so enormously famous and wonderfully attractive, to men and women both. He certainly has the money and lots of leftists in Hollywood would support him. I think men as well as women are fascinated by him...he is tantalizing to watch. He might have to give up his house in northern Italy, but that's not a big deal...he doesn't have a college degree but I guess with his profile he doesn't need one...
I will pay to see him read the telephone book...so I am not very objective on him...god, he's cute...

(20,176 posts)Realistically, he's not running for the Presidency straight-off. He's a long-term NYer living in CA...2 states with a total of 4 Democratic Senators none of whom I'm expecting to retire. The House is probably not a big enough office to justify retiring from the movies even temporarily. Probably not seeking a governorship without previous executive office.
So that leaves non-elected offices like Ambassador to ________ or public-spokesman jobs like the one Kal Penn had.
