'Presidential Selfie Girls' Endorse Hillary Clinton

The teenage sisters who became New Hampshire celebrities for taking a picture with every presidential candidate, have decided to use their newfound clout – to endorse Hillary Clinton.

Emma and Addy Nozell took an “endorsement selfie” with Clinton at the Women’s Economic Opportunity Summit on Thursday in Manchester, N.H.

They are wrapping-up their pop-culture 15-minutes. Reasonable people already understand that these type of endorsements are for the benefit and entertainment and motivation of those already supporting the particular candidate. That's pretty much the case with most all celebrity (and pop-culture e-celeb) endorsements.

I'm not taking it seriously at all, it's just a fun little thing that happened.

(But if you want to fling e-poo at a couple of cute girls, go right ahead. Maybe it will make you feel better. Lord knows, Bernie's fans need SOMETHING to be proud of. Surely this will do it!)

Its really great to see girls and young women get excited about a candidate and politics. Hillary is a tremendous role model for them and many voters might see that as a factor in choosing a candidate. Nothing at all wrong with that.. in fact its very good.

They managed to get selfies with 22 presidential candidates, everyone except Webb, who dropped out before coming to their state.

And after all that, they decided to endorse Hillary. Addy will be old enough to vote in November 2016 and will be a Hillary voter.
