Sure, he currently has a gig on 30 Rock, but that just makes him an even better fit: "He's already part of the NBC family, has a huge fan base, and is very respected for his long term passions for politics," a network source tells PopEater. Baldwin has often talked about his interest in politics, most recently telling Eliot Spitzer he’d like to someday “seek public office.” Click for more on Baldwin's potential new career—and why he’d be perfect for it.
