3. I love Paul Newman, but isn't he about 80?

Maybe a bit younger, and he certainly doesn't seem his age, but still. Well, he'd liven up the debate.

5. bio

Newman born January 26, 1925

happy birthday Paul!

[JerseygirlCT]

6. Turned 80 yesterday, I believe.

8. Like other notable actors such as Gregory Peck,

Paul Newman ages like a fine wine. Happy Bday and consider doing Joann a favor and cut back on DA racing ... just a little. ;)

Best acting IMHO = Cool Hand Luke ... how he fought a hopeless fight with personal dignity

Yeah, "What we got here is a FAILURE to communicate."

[JerseygirlCT]

10. I agree

both total gentlemen, and both knockouts well into their lives.

I worked on an event once with Mr. Peck. The agreement was that he'd be there and say a few words -- and no signing autographs. Well don't you know, people crowded him anyway, and his response? Signed every last one, and chatted with every person in line. What a guy.

12. Lucky you - to have worked with Gregory Peck.

I'll never forget his five star acting in "To Kill a Mockingbird". I know it sounds silly and sentimental but I like to watch this film at least once a year for a personal "positive attitude" (emotional) tune-up in the power of compassion and humanity.

[JerseygirlCT]

13. Can't say I really worked "with" him -

but he was gracious enough to do an event for us.

You're not alone at all on the To Kill a Mockingbird part, either. Most of the questions directed toward him that night were from people saying the movie had changed their lives.

[BrklynLiberal]

19. One of the best actors and the best movies, ever.....

[lojasmo]

7. Isn't Lieberman 80?

Redford would get joe the hell out. Even if Paul stayed in for only one term, the goal would be accomplished

[Eric J in MN]

17. No, Joe Lieberman is 63 (nt)

nt

[lojasmo]

21. LOL, but he looks and acts way older than Paul N. N/T (actually)

[DemoTex]

9. Cool Hand Luke ...

Go for it Paul! No eggs required!

[Dookus]

11. he's pretty old

but he'd be awesome. I'd love to see him in the Senate.

[meow2u3]

14. Fast Eddie for Senate

Picture this: Fast Eddie vs. Holy Joe!

[DesEtoiles]

15. Good

[Cheswick2.0]

16. YES............ I hope it is true

He is not just any actor, he has been involved in politics for a long time and he is VERY smart. His wife is an asset, he she could run herself.
Maybe he will be seen as old but he is a good liberal candidate. I would do what I could to support him.

18. Hi, again, BrooklynLiberal. And you've got a good rumor --

-- for us, too.

I hope it's true. I won't miss Lieberman one bit and Newman is a class act from the word go.

Fond tidings and thanks for the uplift.

20. Lucky Connecticut! WooHoo! A moral man.
