My excuse for posting this ridiculous celeb news is that it's C-ville relevant, so here goes. It looks like 'Benator' is the latest in the string of hokey Ben Affleck nicknames, this one used to describe his rumored political aspirations as Virginia Senator. The most recent Bennifer (is that used to describe the relationship with Garner, too, or only J-Lo?) rumor had them house-shopping in Charlottesville, and now word on the street is that he's a possible challenger to Senator George Allen for the race next year. According to political-honcho Larry Sabato, the idea has been spreading widely among Virginia Dems in the "political underground."
As crazy as it all sounds, if Arnold could get elected Governor in CA, who knows what's in store for Ben (though to be fair, he's no Terminator). In fact, maybe Benny's got what it takes to turn Virginia into a blue state! Hmm...

i don't think VA will ever be a blue state
and i think the proper term is "bennifer 2"
Ew. I saw that rumor in the Reliable Source yesterday too, and truth be told, I wish some celebrities (Dave Matthews excluded) would stay the heck away from Cville. I personally don't want Bennifer 2 anywhere near it. Ugh. I can't really see the senator thing happening either...it is pretty ridiculous. Come on VA dems, how can we ever expect to win ANYTHING with Benator as a candidate?? :)
