I love the show The Nanny, and watch it everytime I catch it on TV, she was the cutest thing and I think she is smart, but dont' think she could beat Carolyn Kennedy out of the seat. I think Carolyn would be a good person too, to win Hillary's seat. I still can't believe that she took the position with Obama. I was beting that she would not. I think either would do a good job.

I think who ever runs should have some political experience

Sometimes I think it is better to go in with no experience and start things fresh. There are many that has gone into office, like California governor,who was a actor, Wisconsin governor who was a wrestler, they didn't and seem to do well. They bring in frest ideas and believe me someone need to freshen up the senate. I think either would do really great.

she probably is smarter than her role, after all it was only a made for TV role not the real her.

I also have seen this News update, and not sure what to think. Personally though I guess there is nothing wrong with actors going into Politics. We have had a lot of Sports stars do this as well. Just seems weird with Fran Drescher wanting to run for this. I know for me, I will always think of her as the Nanny. But hey, she might be good.

I would like to think that they people have some kind of legal experience, before taking a position like that.

It has been in the news, that is what she is planning for. I don't know myself how it would be with her there.

I am not sure if people can take Fran Drescher serious since she has been a comedian for so long but from what I have seen of her lately on some talk shows she is a very smart and bright lady, granted her voice would probably send the others in the senate climbing the walls but I think she could do the job.

yeah she probably could do a good job, no worse than some of the people there now for sure.

I saw that mentioned no the news and I can't really say for sure what my opinion would be since I don't know anything about her other than that horrible voice she used on her show. It's possible that she could do a good job but we'll all have to have more information.

I didn't mention that she had any political experience and I think that is important.

Wow, this is the first I heard of this.. I am way behind times. I still don't know who is taking her place of her old seat. I bet she would do a okay job. She is famous people have a tendency to listen to celebrities.

All I know about her is that on that show, she had one of the most irritating voices I have ever heard. If that was not her real voice and she promises never to use it in politics, I say go for it. Otherwise, she should not quit her day job, LOL.

Oh my gosh, winterose....Sadly, I don't think I could take her seriously! Just thinking about your question conjures up thoughts of the "air head" she played on the "Nanny." And that is really not fair to her, she is more than likely brilliant, but it's the first thing that pops into my mind...! I guess, the proof of the pudding is in the eating....! Cheers, my friend!

Winterose..All I would hear was that Nanny voice and it would drive me crazy..now i'm sure she thinks she would be able to do it, but i doubt the voters would...I by the way loved the show..

that is my question, do candidates not have to have any political experience for such an important post?
