Why not? Walken has made an honest living. He has no ties to any special interest group (other than Hollywood, perhaps). Free of scandals, married to the same woman for more than 35 years (take that you high-moral conservative freaks!), a decent public/private citizen who cares about this great nation. If he has a convincing agenda, I would have no problem endorsing him. At least I'll take Christopher Walken over Arnold Schwarzenegger in a heart beat.
Christopher Walken on Campaign Finance Reform: "I believe that campaign finance is a very tough issue, with good points on both sides; but I feel, as a wealthy American, that I should have no more say than even the least fortunate American citizen. Free speech in politics is about the voices of all those who support you, not who supports you with the biggest voice." Military Funding: "I am a huge supporter of the military. I have always thought of them as our guardians, and when our guardians are making less than the poverty line, and children are suffering because their parents decided to join the military, well, I get very upset. I feel that instead of sending billions to the Pentagon's pet projects, it should go to the troops." Stem Cell Research: "I'd met Chris Reeve several times before he died, and after having met him it is tough to be against [stem cell research]. I am for human knowledge and expansion of human life. If stem cells are one way to do that, I cannot support legislation to restrict this potentially life-saving research." So far these are very much in line with my own ideology.
It is. Some random blogger called Walken's press agent: "I spoke with Mara Buxbaum at ID PR today; Mara is Christopher Walken’s publicist.* She said that she’s been innundated with calls all day about Christopher Walken’s ‘bid for public office,’ but she did in fact confirm that the site is a hoax. “Mr. Walken has no intentions for public office,” said Buxbaum. “Perhaps one of his fans got a little excited seeing him play Secretary Cleary with presidential aspirations in Wedding Crashers." http://www.rizzn.com/2005/08/walken-for-president-2008-is-confirmed.asp
