Answer 1

I don't think they are so great or so cultural, but left-leaning people, even some of whom are millionaires, support Obama.

The difference is that the right-wing media likes to make a big deal out of entertainers supporting Obama to get the kind of reaction from their listeners like you see in some of these responses.

One particularly noteworthy endorsement is Wilford Brimley.  McCain was apparently delighted that he was getting the support of younger voters.

Answer 3

Because he's got a D at the end of his name.

Answer 4

Why should we care what a bunch of Hollywood entertainers think?

I prefer to listen to people who have more of a clue about the issues than to a bunch of celebrities.

Answer 5

Answer 6

Answer 7

Think about this: do Hollywood celebs have any idea how to effectiveley run their own lives?

So how would they know who is the best candidate to run our country?

Oh, and all of Hollywood is liberal. :(((
