Yes, but like all his recent roles, it was completely forgettable.

He campaigned for Kerry...was at the DNC...travelled on the bus, but he wasn't an obnoxious jerk about it like Chevy Chase or Sean Penn.

Out of all of the Hollywood leftists, I can almost forgive Ben Affleck. He didn't do anything to outrageous and he did not get personal. I think he is just a Boston kid who made more money than he knows what to do with and doesn't know better.

Not as much but yes. However, his good buddy Matt Damon offered $1 million for the defeat of Bush.

They are both jerks.

Oh yeah, big time GOTV advocate until some investigative research uncovered the fact that he himself has failed to vote in the last 3 presidential elections. Can you say HYPOCRITE??

Old Ben spent considerable time with the Kerry campaign, actually riding the bus and giving speeches for Kerry.

Trivia: In fact, during the Democrat Convention here in Boston, Ben's premier seats at the Sunday night Red Sox game against the hated Yankees at Fenway were assigned to a veteran from the recent wars who was scheduled to throw out the first pitch.

Taking advantage of the games high profile, the Kerry campaign had the legitimate war hero reassigned to the grandstand. Kerry took the front row good seat, Ben sat in the dugout. That veteran was the one who Kerry threw the first (wild) pitch to. Kerry took that honor as well, but he was actually booed in Boston just a short distance from his (ahem) home on Be-A-Con Hill!

Yes, he said Lou Merloni only got where he was because he was friends with Nomar, one of the Ten Most Ironic comments ever made (since Ben's career was solely due to pal Matt Damon).

Ben Affleck was very vocal in 2002 I know for sure. In fact, he got a little slamed by his own, for getting drunk the day before the election that year, and being too hung over to get up and vote. What he did this year, I don't know, but something stupid I assume
