With the election 15 days away we are closing in on a race till then end. In my own opinion, I believe it’s going to be extremely close on November 4th! But in the mean time these presidential candidates are receiving big endorsement bucks from celebrities and political leaders. Such people as: Hillary Clinton, Caroline Kennedy and the AFL-CIOhave endorsed Obama. President Bush, Gov. Schwarzenegger and the NRA have endorsed McCain. Some highly respected Republicans have turned parties and will being voting for Obama. Colin Powell, Christopher Buckley, William F. Buckley’s son, endorsed Obama. As far as celebrities in the Hollywood scene, actors like Matt Damon and the Baldwin brothers have donated towards Obama’s campaign. The one so called Hollywood celebrity that really caught my eye was Heidi Montag from the reality show “The Hills.” She has endorsed McCain’sparty. http://www.timeblog.com/swampland/2008/04/swampland_exclusive_mccain_rea.html
I think that is a very nice gesture to support your political leaders and I respect these peoples decisions, but the way John McCain responded to the endorsement from Hollywood celebrity Heidi Montag was extremely TACKY and a waste of time. Quote from John McCain “I’m honored to have Heidi’s support and I want to assure her that I never miss an episode of ‘The Hills,’ especially since the new season started.” Give me a break! I hope he was kidding. Like this man has the time to sit down and watch a worthless fake reality show like ”The Hills.” As well- like this girl actually knows the first thing about John McCain (political views on the economy, foreign policy, structure of the government, social policy, history, beliefs). You know what I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt to be fair, Yea right!! We are seeing the media in full force here to promote these Celebrities and Highly recongnized Political leaders help back the two running presidential candidates. It will be in Gossip magazines of all kinds to try and persuade the public to vote for a particular leader. “Hey if Heidi Montag from the Hills is voting for McCain and providing funding then hey maybe I should vote for him” REGARDLESS OF WHO YOU VOTE FOR GET OUT THERE AND VOTE!!!!! LAST DAY TO REGISTER IS TODAY OCT 20th.
I think it will be interesting to see how viscious these parties will get in the next to weeks. I wanna see the dirt that is dug up.
I think the elections are going to be very interesting as well.. but as far as it goes for whos supporting who. I don’t think Hedi is very popular and if anything, as shallow as people are she in my opinion will hurt his chances. If her audience even cared about the election they may vote due to her contribution. But as for the fan club who does enjoy her may vote against her just because of her. Which isn’t a good way to look at it.. but really?! does any one think her audience is paying attention?
