Anything is possible right? Actor Alec Baldwin is contemplating running for the post of New York City mayor in 2013. His rep even confirmed the rumors by saying, “I wouldn’t rule it out.”
With the media circus surrounding Rep. Anthony Weiner‘s lewd Twitter debacle, it seems likely he will pull out of the race.
Baldwin was quick to see an opportunity: “Hey, maybe this changes the race. The dynamics have shifted.” His schedule will allow him to mount an aggressive campaign for the 2013 mayoral race, since 2012 will be his last year on 30 Rock.
During an interview with CNN’s Eliot Spitzer, Alec expressed that he was “very interested” in running for elected office, but only in his home state. The staunch Long Island Democrat has previously indicated a preference to become the governor of New York.
The actor graduated from New York University. His credentials include actor, director, producer, author and father. He has a daughter Ireland, 16, from his union with actress Kim Bassinger. They divorced in 2002.
