'Meet the Press' at 10:30am this morning NBC should be interesting as Iowa gets closer to a vote.

Oprah supposedly drew 18,500 people to the venue yesterday for Obama. ( I would like to have seen her, but not necessarily him)

When the Clinton's have traveled here together as a team, they have drawn huge crowds.

One thing I find interesting, is you really don't see Republicans trying to pull celebrities into their appearances like you do the Democrats. Although, Mike Huckabee's first commercial was a bit of a gag with Chuck Norris.

It's beyond me why celebrities would help (from hollywood that is) But if some pick their Pres cause Jay Leno etc. likes him/her so be it. LOL

Bill Clinton was my favorite president of all time. I would have voted for him for a 3rd term if I could.

I think that is SO tacky and tasteless on Oprah's part.

I REALLY hope people are smarter than saying "Oh, I'll vote Obama because Oprah likes him."

What other democrats have used celebs? I haven't really noticed/heard.

I think that TV celebs and movie celebs should stick to what they know best: acting!!! They need to stay out of politics.

I agree Obama doesn't need her, he's doing fine on his own. She offered and what could he do. She is respected and might give him a little edge but he didn't need her.

In the last election I remember Tom Cruise and quite a few others came out for those running. Now if it was a newspaper I respected or Tom Brokow or Walter Cronkite that would be different.

I think I am going to wait to post again until the middle of "08" , I do know this going to be one interesting race.

I had lunch with Rudy a few months ago at a small fundraiser. I worked at the Senate in 2004 and met Hillary Clinton. I think they will be the 2 candidates that make it out of the primaries. My vote will be going to Rudy. If he can do to this country what he did to New York City, it would be amazing.

I heard an analyst this morning on one of the news talk programs say this was an attempt to steal the women voters from Hillary.

But who cares who these celebs support - goodness do they really believe we don't have brains to think for ourselves. Actually, some of these celebs make me think less of the candidates who try to utilize them

yorkiekist · 12-09-2007, 02:22 PM

Amen!!!!!
