Do You Think Celebrity Endorsements Had Any Bearing in Barack Obama's Election?
Last night history was made when we elected Barack Obama as the next president of the United States. Yesterday we got a look at stars hitting the polls and there hasn't been a day in recent memory where we didn't have celebrities campaigning in some way — mostly for Barack Obama. Now that he's been elected and it sounds like the young voters finally came out in droves, what do you think — did the many celebrity endorsements, PSAs, ads, and blogs have an influence on the election?
Jay-Z and Scarlett Take Their Last Chance to Rally For Obama
It wasn't all about Halloween this weekend; across the country rallies were being held to get out the word in the final days before tomorrow's election. On Saturday, Scarlett Johansson hit Ohio to show her support for Barack Obama and get out the vote, while her husband Ryan Reynolds got ready to run the NY marathon yesterday with her support from afar. Jay-Z spoke at rallies on both Saturday in Virginia and Sunday in Florida about how honored he is to be able to participate in the campaign, saying, "Obama's running so we all can fly."
University of Miami Meets Matt and the Obama Mamas
On Sunday Matt Damon vowed to give his all to Obama in the last days before the election, and he kept true to his word, stopping by the campaign headquarters in Hollywood, FL and then over to the University of Miami yesterday. The crowd, including Luciana and newborn Gia, looked more than happy to see Matt's big grin and he was kind enough to pose for photo ops — some with ladies sporting their expecting bellies. Matt isn't the only celebrity spending time down south — Elisabeth Hasselbeck is busy campaigning for Palin and the "sexist" wardrobe issue.

Brad was without the rest of his family, but with his mustache all dressed up in a suit out on the town.
