[Us Magazine] V Backing Obama

[cassiemoy]

v's political leanings... :]

Vanessa Carlton is backing Democratic presidential nominee (and Us Weekly cover star) Barack Obama!

"Barack is a fantastic thinker and extremely bright, and I'm very relieved because I have a feeling it's a shoe-in at this point," Carlton told Usmagazine.com at Jawbone's CultureCatch Music Salon Series on June 17 in NYC. "I don't want to speak too soon, but I don't know how anyone could not vote for such an obviously prepared candidate."

...

Carlton originally was stumping for Hillary Clinton.

"I wholeheartedly wanted Hills to really come up, and it would have been wonderful to have a female president, but the team now is really solid," Carlton says.

Does she want to see Clinton join Obama as Vice President?

"I don't know how that's going to work out. But it doesn't matter anymore. Regardless, they are all endorsing Barack -- as they should," says the Heroes and Thieves singer who has a new single "Hands On Me."

^Definatly

was that quote printed in their magazine or just on the internet?

[SadAsBlue]

I'm not at all surprised she's democratic. I also agree with her.

[_all_is_well_]

I agree with her, but read read this comment somone left on it.

"""""11:01 AM concerned Says:

Vanessa Carlton's opinion has absolutely no value to me and in many ways will convince me more to think the opposite. Just because a person has a nice voice does not make them smart. As far as the Obama's, how can anybody trust somebody when they have made it clear that their life up until now has been one way, and now they change? How stupid can somebody be to think that Their views have changed. Look at what they have to gain to say what ever it takes.""""

Its in the quotes. Vanessas not stupid they are.

Woah people sure do take a lot of time on the Us official site to bitch and moan. As much as I'm a Democrat and support Obama all the way, his supporters who argue on the comments section are equally annoying. Anyway someone commented saying that Vanessa looked like Pee Wee Herman with longer hair, which was an incredibly lame insult lol.

I'll only vote for Barack Obama if Hillary Clinton is the VP, otherwise I still stand with the millions of other women and loyal clinton supporters who will either NOT vote or will be voting for John McCain within the next few months. After all he said and put her through...I cannot easily cross the line and vote for him. I wonder if Vanessa got a nice donation like all the others who backed Obama.
