...Benator’s success is Affleck??s ability to present himself as a relatively serious candidate so that enough Virginia voters are willing to ignore their innate biases against him and vote for his celebrity power. Though Affleck has his work cut out for him, he does possess a rudimentary political philosophy that could be very appealing to some voters.
