7. And, I feel I have
6 degrees of Kevin Bacon so it's only fitting that he supports Edwards!

9. Six Political Degrees of Kevin Bacon
Could Bacon possibly be a mole? :tinfoilhat:

http://slate.com/blogs/blogs/trailhead/archive/2007/12/10/john-edwards-milks-kevin-bacon-connections.aspx

But an analysis conducted using the University of Virginia's "Oracle of Bacon" has found that Bacon may also be connected with rival campaigns. The endorsement comes on the heels of Barack Obama's much-publicized tour with Oprah Winfrey, who was in Native Son (1986) with Matt Dillon, who was in Loverboy (2005) with Kevin Bacon.

Also unreported are Bacon's connections to prominent Republican candidates, including fellow actor Fred Thompson, who had an uncredited role in White Sands (1992) as an arms dealer alongside John Lafayette, who was also in Loverboy with Bacon. Bacon's GOP connections don't end there. Robert Duvall, who has endorsed Rudy Giuliani, starred in the 2002 film John Q with Simon Sinn, who was in Where the Truth Lies (2005) with Bacon. Even Giuliani himself is a mere two degrees from Bacon, having appeared alongside Marisa Tomei in Anger Management (2005); Tomei was also in Loverboy with Bacon.

10. He should help make the tour picture perfect as long as he doesn't get too footloose along the way
Edited on Mon Dec-10-07 09:15 PM by mtnsnake
A few good men like Bacon, Edwards, and Robbins will keep any sleepers from turning it into a death sentence for the campaign. You don't ever want a promising campaign to become like the river wild. That would only result in staffers doing things like telling lies in America....you know, kind of like he said, she said.

12. Big city boy- (and nice work there Snake)
In a small town... and he's just gotta dance!

One of the most patently silly movie ever!

But I did think he was great in JFK.
