So...almost everytime I see Mike Huckabee now, I see a guy in the background who looks familiar. Oh, yeah, it's um, er, ah, Chuck Norris, that's right. Yep, he's endorsed the former Arkansas Governor... and Oprah is stumping for Obama...and Magic Johnson is for Hillary.
Do celebrity endorsements make a difference? Clearly in terms of star power endorsements, Oprah's has to outshine all the others. But is anyone really going to vote for Obama because Oprah likes him? The candidates themselves must think so...since they try to line up stars for their side.
I find the whole thing a little silly, but I'm sure the candidates think even if it just means a few votes, that could make the difference. As Lyndon Johnson used to say, "If you do absolutely everything, you will win."
