Clooney insists dad running his own race

George Clooney is asking American voters to judge his father, Kentucky Democratic congressional candidate Nick Clooney, on his own merits. He doesn’t want them voting for (or against) his dad, simply because he’s the father of a famous movie star.

Clooney says: “Opponents of my father have said that because of me, we will both go down with my ship – a reference to a film I made called The Perfect Storm.”
