John Berman has been at ABC since 1995, and allowed to appear on television since 2001. He covered the 2008 campaign extensively, following John McCain and Mitt Romney during the primaries and then Barack Obama in the general election. He also spent more than 20 months chasing George W. Bush around the country as a producer from 1999 until 2001, earning the clever nickname, "Pain in the Ass," from our 43rd president. He is a frequent and sometimes welcome contributor to all of ABC's broadcasts.

6:40 pm MT: We've had a procession of interesting celebs come through our booth on ABC NewsNOW this week -- including will.i.am, Melissa Etheridge, and tonight, John Legend. Celebrities often get a bad reputation when they try to jump into the political world, and often they deserve it.
But let me offer a humble opinion about at least these three: These are serious, earnest people trying to make a difference. There are worse things you can do with celebrity than that.

There opinion and vote are not More important than any other American. But since they are more readily heard through the media, they influence others.
Of Course they are the ones lining these Politicians Pockets. Giving Them free adversting. I am sure they get paid back in different ways for it all.
If they did not most of them would not bother
