Fashion, Politics, and other Synonyms

Ran across this is this weeks New York Metro -

Barack Obama may not be “the biggest celebrity in the world,” as last week’s controversialMcCain ad charged, but his wife’s a fashion icon. Harper’s Bazaar has   photographed supermodel Tyra Banks for the cover of its September issue, and, cheekily,   she’ll be featured in a photo spread imagining Michelle Obama as First Lady. (On the  cover, she’ll just be Tyra.) The September Bazaar hits newsstands this week. “Harper’s  Bazaar photographed Tyra for a politically themed feature in the September issue,” says a spokeswoman for the magazine.

Sometimes, I feel that the entertainment industry's love affair with Obama is going to lead to a backlash. Middle America (and Mccain is counting on this, i.e. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-kHLS5i61M) will probably not be convinced to vote for Obama 

by the endorsement of 

Ludacris (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulcGldJlKiA), Tyra, or any other celebrity 

short of Charleton Heston or Tom Hanks. In fact, I am worried that they will be turned off. 

Then again, those folks would probably vote for McCain anyway, and

the votes they acquire, somehow, from celebrity-lovers might be beneficial.

If those people ever voted. Which they don't.

Or do they? DISCUSS!!

btw how can I link directly to youtube videos rather than using these clumsy htmls? help would be appreciated.
