Word came out that action hero Wesley Snipes beat the tax cheat case against him today. If you’re following politics at all these days, you know it’s all the rage if you’re a Republican to have a tough guy action star endorse you. Huckabee’s got Chuck Norris. And McCain just grabbed Arnold’s backing. It’s time for Romney to make a call.
Yesterday, I outlined a few folks Mitt’s campaign could consider. I left out Snipes because of his involvement in the tax case. Now that he’s got a clean record on the issue, here are the pros and cons for the Romney campaign to consider as decide whether or not to seek Wesley’s support:
Wesley Snipes
Pro:Think at this point, he’s probably tougher than either Chuck Norris or California’s Governator. That could come in handy. Snipes could help widen Romney’s appeal. And finally after his court case, you know Wesley must be anti-tax, anti-big government just like Romney is now.
Con:Conservatives won’t dig that he played a drag queen in “To Wong Fo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar”. And you never know when he’s going to leave the campaign for the latest sequel to Major League.
Hmmmm… Stallone, Chan, Van Damme, Seagal, or Snipes. I’d hate to have to make that call.
If nothing else, it will be a good test of Romney’s decision making skills.
