George Clooney for President?

I saw The Ides of March over the weekend. It's really good. I'm so excited. I think it's safe to say that this movie marks the beginning of Oscar Season....YAAAAAAAAY!! I love when the good movies come out, and when there is a movie you want to see coming out every weekend. I personally am very behind in the movies I want to see, as well as an ever-expanding Netflix Queue. Anyways, this movie was really fantastic. I'm not normally a fan of political thrillers (i.e Manchurian Candidate). A lot of them go over my head to begin with, and then they're just not really thrilling. Ides of March was truly suspenseful. It was interesting how suspenseful it was considering the fact that the stakes aren't really tangible. I was totally invested in the story the whole time. So much so that I was ready to bunch my ballot to make Mike Morris our next president. Seriously though, he had some great ideas...and George Clooney was a great face for the campaign. (Clooney/Gosling 2016?? Just a thought).
Okay, I don't know if I've ever given full credit to Ryan Gosling in the past, but this is me jumping on the bandwagon. He is AMAZING. And what's better: he's YOUNG. We are going to be experiencing his awesomeness for a long time coming. It's so weird that he was in The Notebook (A mediocre movie at best, in my opinion. Feel free to boo and hiss), and then he was in Lars and the Real Girl, and now he is in this mainstream, hollywood powerhouse of a movie. Not only that, he was awesome in it. Right in stride with all the veterans around him, outshining a few. He was nominated for an Oscar a few years ago, but had no chance. I seriously think he has a good chance. I know it's a little early to call it, but whatever. Rest of the cast was great. Let's face it, has George Clooney ever performed badly in a movie? I will say that the movie used just the right amount of Paul Giamatti. He's really talented and I like him, but I really can't stand to listen to him speak for very long.
