Yes! Rumors circulating that M. Sheen may run for Ohio Gov!

[Doremus]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let it be true!

Link to a local Cleveland story that doesn't say much, but it's still the best news I've heard in years! :)

http://www.wkyc.com/news/news_fullstory.asp?id=27744

Maybe we should email him and give him some gentle encouragement. :)

[whistle]

1. I'd go to Ohio and vote for Martin Sheen for governor!

...it seems that you can do that in Ohio and be from another state.

[MercutioATC]

4. Hey! Are you dissing Ohio?

I'll have you know that to vote we require you to.....ummm.....tell us your name.....


...never mind....carry on....

[genius]

52. We want him to run for Senate in CA. He can't run in Ohio.

Besides, he lives in Malibu. We've got to get rid of Feinstein in the primary. She always votes with the neocons on economic and "terrorism" issues.

[schawkfan]

12. Full of himself

I believe he will do about as well as Jane Hathaway did when she ran for Congress. Playing a President on TV does not mean you are qualified to be Gov. California elects actors, not Ohio.

[Carolab]

16. Not true, Minnesota elected Jesse Ventura

so there

[schawkfan]

18. Yes they did

I forgot about that one. At least he was a Navy Seal.

[Teaser]

29. That is not a qualification.

nt

[KitchenWitch]

36. That is disputable

He was with a unit that Trained with the Navy Seals. See http://www.cursor.org/stories/seal_or_udt.htm for more information.

[lojasmo]

43. Martin sheen is a hardcore political activist.

And a straight talking no holds barred, hard hitting liberal. I think he has a good chance.

[lojasmo]

54. And a strongly spiritual catholic N/T

[quaoar]

47. And Iowa sent Fred Grandy to Congress

Remember him from Love Boat?

[KitchenWitch]

35. A point which pains me to this day

Four years of listening to Ventura's unintelligent drivel day in and day out is enough to make ones ears bleed chronically. It's called 'Ventura Ear'

[Darkhawk32]

27. And let's not forget Ahnuld... n/t

[ebayfool]

44. Quit reminding me! I do my best to ignore that poseur! n/t

[kerry2win]

34. girly man hitler lover won

What have you got against Sheen ...he doesn't need the money, no big business ties.

[Cheswick2.0]

46. He is more qualified to be Governor, than Bush is to be President

Actors are people, just as qualified as any other citizen to hold public office.

[VolcanoJen]

50. Who elected Gopher?

You know, from The Love Boat?

Just wonderin'.

[MercutioATC]

2. Whaaaaat?! I'd vote for him in a heartbeat!

pleasepleasepleaseplease let it be true.

[Reverend_Smitty]

3. That would be awesome!!

Sheen is left of the character he plays on TV...If Arnold can do it, why not him...

[movonne]

5. Well, until we get these voting machines out, I doubt he would win...

or any Dem...So we must work very hard to see this happens in every state...and I would really like to see him as Gov.

[seabeyond]

6. yes but does he have ms

wink
teasing.

sure has been interesting of late, west wing. almost stopped watching last season

[merh]

14. I would vote for Martin Sheen in a heartbeat. (He still makes

my heart beat, he is such a neat guy, geniune and an activist). He is an natural born citizen, isn't he? Let him be governor and then move over St. Raygun, another former actor to lead the nation, but this time one that is ethical and intelligent.

BTW: Jimmy Smit as the presidential candidate on West Wing is going to give new life to the show. And lord, if we could get a candidate like him to run for office, we wouldn't have to worry about crooked elections, every woman in the nation would vote for him! :loveya:

[SnoopDog]

7. You know what is sad...

I have more respect for a real fake President than a fake real president.

M Sheen is more presidential than that idiot they appointed pResident.

[Straight Shooter]

9. Little Boots (*) is a fake fake president

He's just an occupier of the Oval Office. That's why it came so naturally to him to send our troops to occupy Iraq.

There is nothing real about Little Boots, except that he's a real sociopath.

[SnoopDog]

10. Straight Shooter - thanks for the correction

The idiot (*) is not and never will be a real president.

It just fit well in my sentence.

[bush_is_wacko]

15. Yes, and he remembers his lines too!

Chimpy should watch the show sometime, he might learn what a REAL president is supposed to look like. On second thought chimpy taking acting lessons from Martin Sheen would not be a good thing. If he could ever gain an attention span of over five minutes he might actually learn something!

[burn the bush]

30. oh if only we could wake up and they were switched. Sheen in WH

bush playing pres on tv. not quite as perfect as bush playing pres in prison production, but better than what we have now.

[Straight Shooter]

8. I'll donate to his campaign in a heartbeat

Wouldn't that just rock Ohio's world to have Governor Sheen on board

:thumbsup:

[TexasChick]

11. During this campaign for this presidential race, he was very upset with

the Chimp and the job losses in Ohio! He would take trips down there and just look at the devasting affects that unemployment was having on the entire state and the severe decay of the neighborhoods.

[kerry2win]

13. I'd like to get his email urging him to run

b**h is hell already can't take blackwell in my own state, might need plenty of sleeping pills and booze for that.

[caligirl]

17. Encouragement hell, We should just send a check! n/t

[Blue_In_AK]

19. That would be pretty fabulous. n/t

[ISUGRADIA]

20. Ohio...I'm sorry but does Sheen have ANY ties to Ohio?

He lives in California, I'd much rather see him run there.

[Woo]

21. Dontcha know...

J Kenneth Blackwell has been 'promised' this position. Martin Sheen doesn't have a chance, Blackwell has it wrapped up just as long as he continues to stand up for truth, justice and the American way... (or somethin' like that)

I'm trying to figure out if it would even be possible to cheat enough to help Blackwell win, my guess is that he isn't a well loved man and unlike others who might be able to get away with it, a black man and his mistakes are not soon forgotten(with the exception of Marion Barry, hmmm).

They'll probably tell him, 'sorry Kenny boy, can't do it, not even we would be able to keep a straight face about this one, guess you're SOL.'

I keep thinking, has he had buyers remorse yet, or does he still think he's helping someone that will help him? If so, he's a very stupid man, he'll soon figure out what the color of his skin will get him in a so called Bush America.

Hm, I think I will send him as much in a little note.

[elaineb]

22. Born (and raised?) in Dayton

He's ours, baybee! And I'd vote for him in a heartbeat. :loveya:

[SharonRB]

24. How cool would it be...

from governor to president...I always say I wish Bartlett was the president. It's probably just a rumor, though.

[VolcanoJen]

51. Three members of the original West Wing cast are from Dayton!

Martin Sheen, Allison Janney, and Rob Lowe.

:D

This isn't an election 2004 discussion thread...

[Chili]

25. he would have political establishment support, too

...he did a spot with former Sen. John Glenn that ran for the last 2-3 weeks here in Ohio almost on the hour, LOL. "Senator Glenn and I" care about Ohio (paraphrasing). It was very classily done, with Glenn standing right there with him speaking too. You can't get any more legitimate than that. And until then, I didn't know he was from Ohio.

COOL!

I'd work for his campaign in a heartbeat.

[JI7]

26. i thought Jerry Springer was going to run

[KitchenWitch]

38. I heard

that Springer wants to run for US Senate!

[LizW]

28. Wow, wonder if he'd be the first governor

to have a long record of arrests for civil disobedience?

I hope this is true. I know he took some flak from some talking heads for campaigning for Dean, but I'll bet all will be forgiven if he can win.

[kerry2win]

31. gov in ohio 2002 and pres in 2004

beers tasting good tonight

[merh]

37. Do you mean 2006 and 2008?

Haven't the 2002 and 2004 elections come and gone?

[kerry2win]

45. I don't believe I did that ...what year is it again

I need some ginko

[merh]

48. LOL - it's like the movie Ground Hog Day

we keep waking up to the same nightmare!

[Geek_Girl]

32. That would be great!

I hope its true.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

33. kick

[TheDonkey]

39. That would be AMAZING. But I wonder if Sheen has enough power to win

in Ohio... it's no California. But I would definetly love to see him get into power. Then in the gov mansion, the true WH could be in reach.

[NVMojo]

40. I wish he would move to Nevada ...and run for governor ...

[fujiyama]

41. That would be really cool

but call me a pessimist. I don't think he'd win in a state like Ohio. It seems too conservative.

He would make a great leader. Hasn't he been an activist for various issues for many years (anti proliferation, etc...). I think he was even arrested during a few protests.

[KSAtheist]

42. Eh...I doubt it.

He could get away with this in California. The republicans have a deep and malevolent political machine operating in Ohio. They will eat Sheen alive.

[w4rma]

53. That would rock. He'd make a good candidate for President, later, also. nt
