Affleck 'worn out' by campaigning

ZANESVILLE, Ohio -- Life on the campaign trail isn't as glamorous - - or as easy -- as life in Hollywood, Ben Affleck is learning.

Two days on the John Kerry bus tour were enough for the actor- turned-political junkie.

"I am exhausted," Affleck told the crowd in Zanesville, his last stop.

"They have worn me flat out," he said.

Affleck, for his part, stuck it out even when some of the candidates own children dropped off.

"We adopted Ben Affleck instead and brought him along," Kerry joked.

Affleck said he joined the campaign to get a behind-the-scenes look at politics. AP
