Sarah Jessica Parker stumps for President Obama.
 

So what?

You care about this?

Ditto

Never was a fan, now less inclined if that is possible. :icon_bored:

Yea don't you just love the intelligentsia among these prominent movie stars Jessica Parker, Sean Penn, George Clooney, Matt Damon, Brad Pitt, Charlize Theron, Angelina Jolie John Travolta, Tom Hanks etc etc. Can you imagine the kind of voter that really are swayed by what they folks say :loco::confused::faint:

There are a smattering of Ivy League grads among the Hollywood A-List. Not sure how much they are into politics though. I would be surprized though if John Travolta were a Democrat same with Tom Hanks.

Did check-- Tom Hanks is a Democrat-- Tom Hanks - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cannot really get an answer with John Travolta.

I would though be more interested in what some celebrity's politics were than some Ivy League Philosophy, Law, or Literature professor's opinion on politics. Some celebrities are out in the world meeting a wide range of people with many different opinions. They could have some insight on what a politician like Barack Obama, William Clinton, or Mitt Romney is really like as well.

Do not also forget Ronald Reagan. Probably would be considered a B level actor, A level radio commentator, and quite a celebrity. Celebrity Influences Political Votes - ABC News

I also would argue that Oprah's endorsement of Barack Obama pretty much made Obama into a huge political force in the US. Oprah Winfrey's endorsement of Barack Obama - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

None of the above mentioned celebrities could hold a candle to Mitt Romney intelligentsia supporter Ted Nugent.

You do seem to get some real heavy hitters in the intelligentsia supporting Republican candidates. :lipsrsealed:

Yeah, like Donald Trump, Sarah Palin, Sharon Angle, Christine O'Donnell, Sherrif Joe Arpaio, Orly Taitz, et al.

All important issues for November...yes sir !!

I am right there with RichieLion. Who really cares if Sarah Jessica Parker hosts a fund raiser for Pres. Obama? I know I am not going and having her or any other actor or actress support a candidate is not going to influence me. It would be mighty sad if people were influenced on a candidate by actors or actresses.

I often wonder if consumers really are influenced by celebrity endorsements for products. Would you buy Prilosec antacid because Larry The Cable Guy is an actual user? Makes me wonder why companies pay those big bucks for endorsements - which makes the product more expensive for us.

With products, it's all about name recognition. If a celebrity causes you to remember a products name, as Larry the Cable Guy succeeded with you, the sponsor's goal has been realized. People are more apt to buy a name they know.

How that's transfers over to politics is unclear. We certainly don't need Ms. Parker to identify BHO for us. So, does this celebrity twit help or hurt Obama? I figure the answer is, neither.

This seems to be more of a factor the younger and/or less mature the voter is. Doubt if many senior voters would be swayed by a Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett or any other such person backing a politician. Lady Gaga though could sway young people's votes one way or another.

I also do not think the advertisers would be so quick to pick up celebrity endorsements from people like Lolo Jones, Tiger Woods, etc., if the products they are selling did not get some boost in sales from these celebrity associations.

Lolo Jones? Who the heck is that?

Yea, I guess we can lump her with Jane Fonda that turned in POW's in Vietnam to be beaten and killed.
Hollywood will always have gays and liberals.
