Obama Vs. Romney: Celebrity Backers
While the candidates represented contrasts of many kinds, I’m not so sure that it’s fair to suggest, as these lists do, that Obama and Romney had a relatively equal number of celebrity endorsers. Obama’s roster is overwhelmingly A-list, Romney’s less so. The only surprise on Romney’s list is Cindy Crawford. Thanks a lot, Cindy: you wouldn’t have nearly as much of a career if not for gay men — you know, the group whose second-class status Romney wants to cement in the U.S. Constitution.
