Would it be fair for Martin Sheen to run as president?

Actor Martin Sheen has ruled himself out of running for US president, "too many meetings" he says, "fair enough" I say.

But it got me thinking. Would it be fair for him to run as president anyway? Would it really be possible to separate the actor from the character? Not to think that he's already got the experience and that he did it so well "last time"?

I suspect that deep down Americans would really be voting for Jed Bartlett rather than Martin Sheen. I feel that my ideas about the political power of Hollywood has already been vindicated!
