Hope so. Cause I like the diversity theme, I really do, I think it is selling. But I don't think that most of America would look at this list so far and see diversity, no indeedy, they would see that old "Hollywood liberal" coalition, easily and often very effectively ridiculed by the right wing media.

Wow, impressive.
So many diverse Californians and New Yorkers. And even some Democratic politicians.
And the ethnic diversity, ranging from white to black and back again with nothing in between.
You might want to pass this list over to Rush Limbaugh, perhaps highlighting Amiri Baraka and Louis Farrakhan. Could be your 15 minutes of fame!!!

Yeah, the Farrakhan and Baraka endorsements will likely be the Willie Horton ad of this election.

I'm pretty much a supporter of Obama's at this point, but I'm really not sure how much endorsements really even matter. Especially a bunch of actors. Sorry, not a lot of substance.

I'm sure that if most of these people didn't endorse John Kerry or Al Gore, it's because they didn't endorse any candidate at the time.
