Is there an endorsement, celebrity or otherwise, who would change your vote?

[Robb]

Just curious if there's someone out there who's opinion you so value, you'd do an about face? Or, at a minimum, seriously reconsider?

[jlake]

1. Joe Biden.

John Kerry
Hillary Clinton

[emilyg]

2. Nah

I like to think for myself.

[thunder rising]

3. No, I'm for Obama since the day he said he was running.

[TexasObserver]

4. not a snowball's chance in hell

I'm going to vote for who I want, who I choose, and no one, not family, not friends, not endorsers, will affect that.

And so should everyone else.

[ananda]

5. WTF?

Why would an endorsement make any difference
whatsoever in the status of a candidate?

It's her/his record and independence from corporations
and lobbysits that matter.

[Nailzberg]

6. Michael Jordan.

The best ever.

[BlackVelvet04]

7. Nope. n/t

[BuyingThyme]

8. I've never really understood the whole endorsement thing.

But then again, I don't really understand the whole speech thing.

[Eric J in MN]

9. No. NT

NT

[bigwillq]

10. No

I already voted in my primary and I will vote for the DEM nominee in Nov. so, no, no endorsement will change my mind. It didn't for the primary.

[rox63]

11. Gore might make me think hard about it

But I don't think he'll endorse. And if he did, I think he'd endorse Obama, not Clinton. The Clinton/Gore years did not end in sweetness and light.

[saracat]

12. None. It is MY vote and they are no more important than ME!

[Cleita]

13. If there was someone out there who knew what they were

talking about like the late Molly Ivins I might value their opinion, but otherwise no. I make up my own mind until it's made up for me by the press and the party and I go to the polls, hold my nose and vote for the lesser of, or the Democratic candidate if in the general election. It's always worked that way for me.

[Deja Q]

14. So if Britney Spears endorsed a candidate, her fans would go vote for the same?

If THAT example doesn't prove how shallow and petty such people are, to vote because some celebrity says "Vote for that one" while pointing in the relevant direction...

I would listen to people who have values I share, but that is hardly the determining factor when voting.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

15. No, non, nein

[marlakay]

16. Gore

But I don't think he would choose Hillary. And I am already for Obama now that he is out.

[AlCzervik]

17. no.

[calico1]

18. No, no one. n/t

[joshcryer]

19. Al Gore

[democrattotheend]

20. Possibly Howard Dean

but of course he can't endorse anyone. But I would be shocked if he was not privately pulling for Obama, who has inherited a lot of the grassroots organization he built four years ago, and running against the Clinton machine that worked behind the scenes to knock him down.

[MH1]

21. John Kerry's endorsement finalized my decision to support Obama.

Had Kerry endorsed Clinton, I would have taken a LONG step back and analyzed "why" and then I probably would be supporting Clinton now.

But Clinton is who she is and Kerry endorsed Obama, so there was no need for that bit of shock therapy. :)

[sniffa]

22. Lee Mercer, Jr.

Where he goes, I follow.

[Yossariant]

23. No. I don't substitute other people's judgements for my own.

[DesertFlower]

24. no. obama was my choice

from the day he said he would run. i voted for him.

[Annces]

25. If the trees could endorse, I would listen to them

[Crabby Appleton]

26. No

[Shine]

27. I would seriously consider Edwards' or Gore's endorsements

:thumbsup:

I'm not in either camp, full-bore, yet. I'm just biding my time and watching the drama unfold.... :popcorn:

I voted for Edwards in my CA primary, btw.

[HughMoran]

28. No

[Proud2BAmurkin]

29. krugman

[Kurovski]

30. no.

[Seabiscuit]

31. An endorsement is kind of just fluff, but if it was Al Gore or John Edwards who endorsed and

supported a certain candidate then I would think twice about that person.

[Guava Jelly]

32. Frank Sinatra...

If he comes back from the other side and ask me to vote Huckabee. than :sarcasm:

[Kurovski]

37. I changed my mind...maybe Zasu Pitts.

And I'm wondering what Liza Minnelli thinks.

[MethuenProgressive]

33. Oprah, Q-Tip, and Bob Kennedy.

[sellitman]

34. If GWB endorsed Obama then Hillary would get my vote.

:silly:

[RuleOfNah]

35. Naomi Klein would be an influential endorsement.

There are others, like Bill Moyers. Some have already endorsed candidates.

None would carry decisive weight.

However, I already voted (in the Primary), so it is all (D) for the rest of the year.

[LWolf]

36. No.

There are many people whose opinion I respect, but that doesn't mean I value or trust their judgment over my own.

[JohnBreauxDemocrat]

38. Yes, if Obama was in fact endorsed by Al From or Sam Nunn

I would strongly reconsider my support for Hill.

[Kurovski]

39. Just an innocent question here...

are you the "Robb" of DU "dingbat" fame?

If you are, you're a celeb, and so I may have to consider your endorsement. :-)
