I like Gary Sinise. Like his style, and I like his politics. However, I don’t know that I am ready to support him for this particular office in 2012.

Nicolle Wallace, a top adviser to George W. Bush and John McCain’s presidential campaign, is adding a few names to the list of Republicans who might lead the GOP out of the wilderness. Top among them? Actor Gary Sinise. Wallace, writing on The Daily Beast, said she first heard the idea from a fellow Republican. “The natural strengths that an actor brings to politics would come in handy to anyone going up against Obama in 2012,” she wrote. “We will need an effective communicator who can stand toe to toe with Obama’s eloquence.” Sinise, also a musician, performs for U.S. troops and often champions veterans' causes.

The only thing he would be lacking would be the sort of experience that would actually qualify him to be president. Good grief – his resume is even thinner than Obama’s in 2008.

On the other hand, he might make a great candidate for Governor or Senator somewhere.

I prefer one of Wallace’s other names – General David Petraeus.
