It's Dennis Haysbert, AKA the President on 24. How I know this despite the fact I've never seen more than 2 full episodes of 24 is beyond me.-

it goes "That's Allstate's Stand"

Jake - I eventually figured that out.

But I must not have been the only one to notice; Mr. Haysbert (thanks, Jay!) has been enunciating the "D" at the end of Stan much more explicitly in the latest flight of those ads.

Actually, when I think of Dennis Haysbert, I think of him as Pedro Cerrano in the "Major League" films.
"Hats for bats. Keep bats warm. Gracias."

Maybe "Stan" is a relative of Jim Varney's "Vern", knowadimean ?

David Palmer is *my* president. The Jones household is in a fever of anticipation over the upcoming "24" season. That show, for all its silly spots, is a school for suspense.

"David Palmer", (according to Wikipedia):

* President in: 24 (2002-2004) (although on the show he served a full four-year term)

* The first African American President, Palmer is a native of Maryland and served as a lawyer, member of the House of Representatives and senator before running for president. He attended Georgetown University and the University of Maryland and has two children, Keith and Nicole Palmer. Palmer cancelled his re-election campaign after ex-wife and informal aide was murdered.

* After President Keeler is incapacitated and Keeler's Vice-President, Charles Logan, is unable to handle the job, Palmer was secretly made Logan's proxy.

* Played by: Dennis Haysbert

* Party: Democratic

Scccreeeeeeaaaaaatch. Democratic? Forget President Mackenzie Allen (Geena Davis) -- Palmer should be the inspiring role model for Democrats.
