The repugs have good reason to fear Obama's celebrity...
... they know that there is a sizable segment of American voters who will vote for (perceived) celebrity. For example the celebrity "thing" worked for guys like Arnold and Jesse Ventura, and they know that it could work for Obama too. In other words, you could actually get many people voting for Obama for some pretty facile reasons (not that we should mind their votes!).

1. Same reason people voted for Reagan...
the plus side this time 'round being our "celebrity" is NOT a B movie actor.

Repukes have alot of nerve to talk about "celebrity". The party of Gopher, Sonny Bono and Fred Thompson! :puke:

3. They are worried because McCain has no celebrity status.

4. McCain used his celebrity status as a war hero to get into politics. Obama
had no celebrity status when he got into politics.
