| Affleck, doing politics stuff |
Now that it seems likely that John Kerry will be appointed Secretary of State, some people are speculating that a certain Cantabrigian "might be" hypothetically considering a run for the empty spot. Many are asking if Ben Affleck will run for Senate in Massachusetts? And the answer to that question is no, don't be fucking stupid.
CBS Boston's Jon Keller is kicking the can down the road anyway for some reason, and other news outlets are reporting on it as if it's an actual thing. "Could a Hollywood star be among the potential candidates if and when John Kerry’s Senate seat opens up?" he asks in this piece.
No.
"Several names have been mentioned, including Scott Brown, Mike Capuano, Ed Markey and Stephen Lynch. But is it possible for a non-politician to compete in such a short time frame?"
Nope.
"Believe it or not, one name I have heard tossed around is that of actor-director Ben Affleck, the pride of Cambridge, who’s been active in Democratic Party politics for more than a decade."
I also suspect that Tom Brady, Ernie Boch Jr., J. Mascis and the Route 1 Orange Dinosaur were interested in the position, so someone write a news story about that now. You've officially heard their names tossed around as well.
