Will you vote for a candidate because of someones endorsement...
I am so tired of all of these pundits speculating about who will vote for whom because of someone's endorsement. I for one am will not I am still watching and listening and what I am seeing I am not liking, these people are jumping on every little word the candidates say. The pundits really think that we are stupid no candidate will be everything to everyone. I continue to be amazed at how some would believe the RepubliCONS knowing that whoever their candidate is he will continue with bushco policies especially GHOuliani and Romney is a wimp who goes along to get along.

4. Depends on who it is; Al Gore could be a big help to a candidate.

5. No, but some resonate more than others.
I was thrilled when Lawrence Tribe and Seymour Hersh gave Obama the thumbs-up.

7. Personally? NO. But some are.I am influenced to respect an endorser "less" when
they endorse a less credible(In MY opinion, of course! LOL!) candidate than I expect them to. Some political favorites have gone down a notch or two in my estimation as a result of whom they endorse.But hey, thats politics!

8. Nothing means less
than a celebrity endorsement. The endorsements of others have about the same value.

12. I just posted that...I love Barbara
but she wouldn't make me vote for or against. I can't stand Oprah but same reason she wouldn't make me vote against or for. I PICK THE CANDIDATE AND NOT THE ENDORSER.

if a celebrity or anyone else I may like supports a Republican, I no longer like that supporter.

20. NO, but maybe we could talk...
Paris Hilton into endorsing Fred and that would give us headlines through Xmas and beyond.

(spoof of course)

Endorsements are by and large an attempt to gain column inches in the MSM.
