		<description><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" src="http://nyoobserver.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/alecbaldwin1.jpg" />The folks at Fight Back NY are out with another web video rallying people for gay marriage and against the state Senate Republicans, this one riffing off of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BY3aTMc0aOk">Jesse Tyler Ferguson's earlier video</a>.</p>
<p>In that one, Ferguson laments that he can't marry Alec Baldwin because same-sex marriage is illegal and because, well, Baldwin is straight. In this one, Baldwin answers, and takes aim at those obstinate Republican senators as well.</p>
<p>One interesting political side note here is that Baldwin has long been rumored to be interested in political office.</p>
<p>This <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/05/08/60minutes/main4079846.shtml?tag=contentMain;contentBody">"60 Minutes" profile</a> notes that, "liberal politics has always been his passion. He grew up in a working class family on Long Island, N.Y. He has an impressive grasp of the issues, and spends a huge amount of his time and money supporting causes he believes in, like animal rights, the environment, and the arts. "</p>
<p>Earlier this year, he spoke at the <a href="http://www.hks.harvard.edu/news-events/news/articles/forum-baldwin-apr10">Kennedy School for Government </a>and mentioned that he could look into a run down the road, and the Working Families Party was rumored to be looking for him to run on their line this year, before Andrew Cuomo accepted the line.</p></p>
