“I’m just looking for ways to be contributive,” Kilmer said, dunking his tea bag in a big mug of hot water at a local restaurant. “And if that ends up being where I can make a substantial contribution, then I’ll run.”
Kilmer seems inspired by the election of President Barack Obama and is mulling public service in the wake of Obama’s historic election to the Nation’s highest office.
“I haven’t voted very much,” he acknowledges — although he cast a ballot for Barack Obama from Bulgaria, where he was filming.
Before that, Kilmer hadn’t voted in New Mexico since he registered in 1992, according to registration records.
The next election in New Mexico for governor takes places in 2010.
It sounds as though Kilmer is extremely green politically and likely won’t run. I am sure he geninuely feels inspired to do something, but the odds of him running and being elected the governor of New Mexico have to be rather slim. But as Arnold can atest — anything can happen.
Kilmer is best known for his roles in ‘Batman Forever,’ ‘Tombstone,’ ‘The Doors,’ ‘Top Gun,’ and ‘The Ghost and the Darkness.’
