Wait, is he backing Romney?

Via NY Post:

Is Alec Baldwin turning into his “30 Rock” character and warming up to Mitt Romney?

The outspoken liberal activist who plays Republican Jack Donaghy on NBC sounded like he’d bought into the appeal of the conservative presidential candidate at the Economist Gala on Thursday night, saying, “If Romney is the nominee, we have to get behind him and support that person to be president and give him constructive criticism.”

Baldwin, who offered political analysis that was more casting-agent than pundit, appeared with heavyweights including Democratic pollster Mark Penn, GOP strategist Mary Matalin and moderator George Stephanopoulos. Baldwin said Newt Gingrich, who’s leading Romney in the polls, doesn’t have a shot. “I don’t think the people see Gingrich as a headliner,” he said. “The last time you saw a guy who wasn’t a headliner win was [George] Bush senior. He only lasted one term. [Ronald] Reagan, [Bill] Clinton and even [George] Bush junior had a kind of a star quality.
