Freedom of Speech, everybody. I think having celebrity endorsements may influence voters to take a look at the candidates closer. They are actually trying to influence our country to look into the candidates and actually research about them. Making their own choices.

if anything it turns me against the celeberity for trying to use there influence to get me to vote one way or the other.

No Way, Still love Oprah,(BUT)

I would not vote for Obama just because Oprah is backing him, but I must say I will take a look at Huckabee now that his name is in the news.  There are so many candidates its hard to learn enought about them all.  I do hate celebrities getting involved though.
