What do you think of celebrity political endorsements?

  • I think its great - being in the public eye, these celebs have influence over young people and hopefully their political support encourages more people to vote.

  • I don't really care...I guess you could say I'm politically apathetic.

  • I like how it used to be. When actresses, actors and news people did what they were suppose to do. Entertain or give the news. Not their opinions. I hear too many young voters say they are voting for the person their favorite celebrity endorses. They aren't listening to what each candidate stands for. That's scary to me and main and simple wrong!

    When you talk to them, they don't know the issues, what Obama or McCain stands for or know their experience. They say if it's good enough for Scarlett Johansson or Angie Harmon (other names mentioned) then it's good enough for me.

    It's sad for the process and our voting privilege. A vote given because your favorite actress or actor gave their endorsement or their opinion. It would be better for them not to vote.

  • Obama and McCain are both crooked politicians.
