She has 8 major endorsements. She is trying to get a medal during this Olympics in London. http://olympics.ocregister.com/2012/...ying-a-virgin/

You know, I was chided publicly for making posts that will not be considered issues this year......just curious how this thread falls into that category ????

Since I am the only one being chided publicly about this, thought I had the right to ask.

The issue was celebrities endorsing candidates. I believe that Chuck Norris is in Wisconsin right now working for Walker. Kind of ironic since Norris is known for Walker, Texas Ranger.

Is it your thought that these celebrities are a contributing issue in the election this fall ?

Do you do this for the Republican celebrity backers too?? Or is it just those who support Barack Obama??

If you buy into Ann Coulter's spiels about 90% of Hollywood is Democrat.

Celebrities have dinners for the same reason both Dem. & Rep. leaders have $25,000.00 a plate dinners - to raise money! SJP certainly won't be inviting the guy off the street corner to attend; she'll invite her other monied star friends to come and rub elbows with the Prez. All about the $$.

SIDE NOTE: I find all of these campaigns absolutely embarrassing to the outside world, as well as to the average Joe who's trying to make ends meet.

Cannot think of any other countries politics which are any better. Some of them are much worse. The wining and dining is done at the end of a gun.

Not getting into politics. Just saying that spending hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars to attain just 1 political post is practically sinful.

this IS the political forum!! Your supposed to get into politics!! thats why we have this forum - to Vent our frustrations I would imagine as there are plenty to vent!!

That's true. These are however some extremely influential positions that draw millions of dollars of campaigning.
