"According to the Washington Post, Virginia Democratic Party leaders apparently are trying to persuade actor and Dem activist Ben Affleck to run next year against US Senator George Allen (R). Affleck and his wife -- actress Jennifer Garner -- are reportedly already buying a home in Charlottesvillle, Virginia. A Massachusetts native and recently registered NY voter, Affleck campaigned for Al Gore in 2000 and John Kerry in 2004. Affleck's spokesman downplayed the rumors: "He would be a superb candidate for public office in the future. Right now, he's very busy directing his first feature movie." Dems apparently want to keep Allen tied down with a costly campaign in '06, in order to help derail his 2008 White House ambitions. Former Reagan Administration Navy Secretary and author James Webb -- a sharp Iraq War critic -- is also a possible Dem candidate against Allen."
