Alicia Silverstone looked mesmerized as Matt Damon took the stage to rally for Obama at VoteFest '08 in Miami Beach yesterday. Matt, Alicia, and Kerry Washington are touring multiple South Florida cities to promote early voting in the swing state. Matt said, "I took time off from acting until the end of the year to be with my family and enjoy our new daughter. But it is very important for me to do what I can to help the Obama campaign so people will go out and vote. We need change in this country and now is the time to be sure that happens." Matt may not be acting for a few more months, but he is not taking any time off from the various political matters he is so passionate about.

Mesmerized? Try INSANE! The more I know of Alicia the more I see that her "acting" in the movie THE CRUSH may not have been acting at all! Girl just gives me the heebie jeebies.
1Go Matt!
Also, he's still looking a li'l chunky, and I find myself loving it!

3That's hilarious how they set that up
Mykie... I've never seen that movie. I've only seen her in Clueless. (Dear God...that
movie...huhhhh...)

5Don't you just love Matt??
6don't get his appeal, but he seems like a good man, a good father, a good husband, and a good person so that makes him a better man
7OH Matt so CUTE me likey!!!
8I agree with analysts endorsements by public figures even celebs dont help at all. Go McCain and Palin.
9Hey Matt how about those Red Sox?
10well i guess as long as he's just doing a few appearances here and there, then he's being true to taking the time off to be with his wife and new baby and other children. i don't know - i'm still bugged about celebs all being involved in the political race, but i guess i can't really change the world can i?
11I wish I could see him tomorrow in Fort Lauderdale but alas I have work. Go Obama!
12I wanna see more of Alicia in serious movies! Why isn't she in them!!!! She's so beautiful..I've watched an interview with her, she's really down to earth and cute.
13MESAY, if you like scary movies, rent that one. OH MY GOD. That one made me warn my son off of Women for LIFE! You just don't know what you're gonna get! She was soooooooooooo good as a psycho! LMAO
14Matt's Obama fascination is a huge turn o-f-f! But Hollywood isn't thinking this year, I guess, led as always by Babs S. This year, character does not count...so neither does Matt:(
15Why do they call it things like "vote fest" and the like, when they are really just Obama rallies? Why not call a duck a duck?
16Right there with ya little k, right there with ya.
Part of his quote says
"But it is very important for me to do what I can to help the Obama campaign so people will go out and vote. "
He should have added "For Obama" to the end of that because you KNOW that's the only reason he's there, to get votes for Obie.
17i love this guy he is supporting Obama ell this is a known thing but wow Alicia Silverstone is supporting him too?
. go Obama go
18People shouldn't base their vote on opinions of a popular actor/performer.
19I don't know why people think celebrities can not have an opinion about politics. We are all citizens. I didn't knock Chuck Norris for backing Huckabe.
20Again, like on every post about this, no on is saying they can't have an opinion. They just need to express it like the rest of us and not take advantage of their platform.
21I'd take advantage of the platform. Whatever it takes, that's legal and honest of course, to get Obama elected :naughtyelves:.
Anyway celebs are a part of the class that will be hit by higher taxes, let him rally and show his support for Obama and Obama's potential impact on the country regardless to how it affects him personally.
22Otra vez
!!!
23Someone making 10 million a film will not feel the hurt as much as someone making 250k. They just won't.
24I love Matt Damon.
Obama Biden 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Obama or die! *wink*
I can't see how any intelligent person would vote for McCain, especially after he chose that idiot Palin as his running mate.... now THAT doesn't make sense at all.
25And I believe celebrities have a right to voice their opinions. Usually its conservatives who get mad when celebrities talk about politics because the celebrities happen to have opposing beliefs.... well how come no one complains when republican celebrities talk?
While I may dislike conservatives, they have a right to voice their opinions too as celebrities. Its a free country.
I don't think its fair to say "they're celebrities....what do they know? leave politics for the politicians". Well the same could be said for regular people like you and me.
26Well that's pretty damn insulting. Oh, I don't know, maybe they have different political views than Obama, just off the top of my head. Sheesh.
27Obama is an inspirational candidate, this is a historic election, and maybe people just can't help but do something and be involved. Geez yall'd be b*tching if celebs didn't care enough about current events and the country they live in.
28LittleMissM, I can raise my hand as a republican that DOES speak out when republican celebrities voice their opinions because to me it is WRONG no matter which side you are on.
I can't see how any intelligent person would vote for McCain.
The same could be said of Obama supporters you know.
29Mykie - I love that movie! The Crush is so good and Cary Elwes is hot in it (he plays the guy, Nick, that she obsesses over).
It's nice to see Alicia around, I wish she was in more movies.
Go Obama!
