Kevin Bacon, Tim Robbins to campaign for John Edwards

[RiverStone]

Ok, y'all ready for the battle of the celebrity endorsements? Politics USA. :crazy:

DES MOINES, Iowa - John Edwards is the latest U.S. Democratic presidential candidate to show off his celebrity support, announcing Sunday that actors Kevin Bacon and Tim Robbins will join him on the campaign trail in early-voting Iowa.

Edwards' announcement came as talk-show host Oprah Winfrey campaigned for Barack Obama over the weekend in Iowa, and as Hillary Rodham Clinton's famous husband, former U.S. President Bill Clinton, planned to return to the state Monday and Tuesday.

Last week, Edwards, a former U.S. senator and the 2004 vice presidential nominee, was joined on the campaign trail by Jean Smart, who plays the first lady on the popular FOX series "24," and movie actress Madeleine Stowe, who appeared in films such as "The Last of the Mohicans" and "Twelve Monkeys." Last month, performers Bonnie Raitt and Jackson Browne campaigned in Iowa on Edwards' behalf.

In Edwards' newest effort, his campaign is offering memorabilia signed by the senator and his famous friends Bacon and Robbins.

Robbins was expected to join Edwards in Iowa on Wednesday, followed by Bacon on Saturday and Sunday.
