** This is smart because Pitbull is anti-Castro too, or was, his father was a Mariel Boatlift arrival. At the same time he'll probably be one of the first to perform in Cuba when things open up further.
Pitbull Joining Barack Obama in South Florida on Sunday
Dale! Pitbull may be Mr. 305 (where the vast majority of his fellow Cuban-Americans are voting for Mitt Romney), but he'll be stepping into the 954 on Sunday to join President Obama at a major pre-election rally.
Obama will be stopping by McArthur High School Football Field (6501 Hollywood Blvd., Hollywood) on Sunday. Doors open at half past noon. You do need tickets though, and those can be snagged here.
Naked Politics claims that there's a rumor going around that Pit was spotted at a Marco Rubio victory rally at the Biltmore Hotel in 2010, but lately he's been leaning blue.
During the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina, he co-headlined a party that benefited several Democratic PACs.
He's also been involved in campaign to get young Latinos to register to vote as far back as 2006, but at the height of his popularity it appears he's getting partisan.

But I could never understand why people would watch video when they could go out and catch a live gig.

(39,313 posts)My only concern is that the majority of die-hard fans may not be registered or citizens but the process starts with things like this - the connection between a beloved star and the Potus, yay!!
It's so expensive to attend a concert these days, in the end this might be the new way to get people interested in civics!

(39,313 posts)Hollywood FL miles and miles for President Obama!
Thousands and thousands - line wraps for at least 2 miles maybe more - to enter stadium where Pres. will be speaking today. We arrived too late- end of line way too far to make it inside and it is HOT out-- heading home to watch on CSpan. But these are the people who waited in lines if up to 5 hours to vote- and these people- WE THE PEOPLE are fired up!!!
** Some star power in Hollywood today - Hollywood, Florida that is!
