2. A good one. I liked Nick back when he was on AMC,

back before AMC went to shit.

3. Nancy Kulp ran for Congress from Pennsylvania in the 70's.

That's the only Democratic actor or actress I can think of who has run for elective office.

4. Ralph Waite from The Waltons ran against Mary Bono a few years ago.

5. Gregory Peck considered running against Reagan in 1970

I wonder if things would have been different if he had gone through with it.

6. Orson Welles considered running against Joe McCarthy.

Contemplate that one, my friend.

7. The button-down secretary lady from "The Beverly Hillbillies"

(I think the character's name was Miss Hathaway), ran for office in some Midwestern state some years back. Buddy Ebsen trashed her to the dogs and back (real classy there, Buddy) and she lost. Guess Buddy Ebsen thought he was a REAL clueless, backward hayseed hillbilly. Fuck him and the 14-year old cousin he rode in on.
