CAUCUS POLITICS FROM CT TO DC

I’m voting for Barack Obama because Oprah is supporting Barack Obama and if Oprah thinks Barack Obama will make a good president, well, that's good enough for me. Outside of James Frey, Oprah never steers you wrong. Plus, Oprah seems like a real nice person, and is very generous, and she has a good sense of humor. Another thing I like about Oprah is that she is really good at dieting.
I'm voting for Hillary Clinton because Babs (Barbara Streisand) is supporting Hillary Clinton, and I agree that "People who need people are the luckiest people in the world." The other reason I am influenced by Babs is that she still has her original nose, which in a place like Hollywood says something about you.
I'm voting for Mitt Romney because JFK is supporting Mitt Romney (in spirit). Mitt Romney (a Mormon) and JFK (a Catholic) both had to talk about their religious views while seeking the presidency. JFK had to convince religious extremists that religion had no place in government, while Romney had to convince religious extremists that he was a religious extremist just like them.
I'm voting for Mike Huckabee because Chuck Norris is supporting Mike Huckabee. Chuck Norris says Mike Huckabee is Chuck Norris approved. Mike Huckabee says Chuck Norris doesn't endorse, he tells America how it's going to be. That's good enough for me.
I am voting for John McCain because Curt Schilling is supporting John McCain. Normally, I don't pay any attention to anything Curt Schilling says away from baseball because he is basically an idiot.
But because the Red Sox just won the World Series and I'm a huge Red Sox fan, I'm voting for John McCain because Curt Schilling is a big-game pitcher.
I'm voting for Fred Thompson because Arthur Branch is supporting Fred Thompson. Arthur Branch is not as big a celebrity as Chuck Norris or Babs, but he is one of the most well-respected district attorneys in the country. Arthur Branch is also very smart and a good political infighter, which is what this country needs to break the partisan deadlock in Washington.
I am voting for Rudy Giuliani because Pat Robertson is supporting Rudy Giuliani, and Pat Robertson claims he can leg press 2,000 pounds.
To put that in perspective, Robertson was 76 when he says he leg pressed a ton; the leg-press record at Florida State University is 1,335 pounds, and to get 2,000 pounds on a leg-press machine you have to stack 22 45-pound plates and one 10-pounder on each side.
I am voting for John Edwards because James Denton, the actor who plays Mike Delfino, is supporting John Edwards. Mike Delfino is the plumber on "Desperate Housewives," and I have always found plumbers to be good judges of people, especially when they are figuring out what to charge you.
I am voting for Dennis Kucinich because Sean Penn is supporting Dennis Kucinich. I would be more enthusiastic about Kucinich if Captain Kirk was supporting him because of the UFO stuff, but Penn is pretty far out there himself.
I am voting for Chris Dodd because Paul Simon is supporting Chris Dodd. If Paul Simon were not supporting Chris Dodd, then I would not be supporting him because he has abandoned Connecticut for Iowa and gotten this brutal haircut that makes him look like he's running for president of the Des Moines Chamber of Commerce.

Merry Christmas, De'on!
I'm voting for my dog, she's black AND white and a b*tch as well. And to top it off, she likes the cheap tennis balls, so she's a fiscal conservative.
Great article!
Hi Ray, Donald and Jenn and Merry Christmas!
