Obama seems to be benefiting greatly from the various celebs that re endorsing him particularly Oprah. I'd like to think these things don't affect my opinions, but I must admit that when I hear that people I admire are endorsing someone, I'm curious about exactly why. I'm sure he's thrilled that people are lining up to tout him.

Hey all,

I agree with callenfallen: Whether or not a celebrity endorsement changes your vote, if you admire the celebrity and their beliefs, then their endorsment will, without a doubt, get you thinking critically as to "why" they endorse who they do. And regardless who the endorsment is for, these type of things ussually aim to get the uninterested people involved and thinking critically (Which thereafter, means they are more likely to go out and vote!)

I'm a 47 year old black women from Michigan. It's as simple as this:IT'S BEEN ALONG TIME COMING---BUT A CHANGE IS GONNA COME!!! OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT IN 2008...change is here people..DO NOT ALLOW IT TO SLIP AWAY... vct

If you can't see through this endorsement, then you are really, really dumb. Chris matthews would LOVE to be able to skewer Oabama once he is president. He's tried it for YEARS with the Clintons and needs some fresh meat. And since when is it news when some hack pundit endorses anybody? C'mon.

Dave Matthews, Not Chris Matthews.

BO is a Marxist. He preaches from the communist manifesto. Read it. In his letter he talks about corporate greed, what about top grossing band in 2000 greed. Make no mistake about it they are capitalists. You don't see them lowering ticket prices so the less forunate can attend their concerts. It's $250 up front and $50 in the back of the house when DMB plays. Socialism is great, and you know who it great for the people who don't have to live under it.

no one cares what celebs think! we pay to go watch them act like people they are not and we pay to go see them sing our favorite songs not give us advice about who we should vote for or what political veiews they have.Dave Matthews is one of my favorite song writers his work is beautiful but dave speaking out about cleaning the enviornment and living a better life and loving one another is different than telling us who to vote for and i completly understand you are only saying who you feel in your heart you are going to vote for ,but through your skill you have gained riches and some of the things you are preaching no longer apply to you while the rest of us have to in your words "Live under the table dreaming." So it isnt fair for celebs to tell us their veiws becuse 1. most of the time we didnt ask and 2. the do not live under the very social issues thay are speaking out aginst, they live over it.

dave, i love your music and you seem like a pretty good guy. but i would never listen to you in a political debate.

Dave M: i luv that you're against corporate greed, yet you're filthy rich... since you feel so strongly, just donate your money to uncle sam...

Looks like Dave Matthews might be a little more in tune to the coming storm than his detractors realized.

I would trust his Quaker based logic over the current group of evangelical nuts and greedy corporate hogs that have polluted our nation and who try to divide and conquer us at every turn.

How Ironic is that an American of the Quaker Faith (The religion of our forefathers)is asking us to stay American.

Dave is a Great Song Writer and his words inspire me to return to the traditional values that made us strong.

I WILL ALWAYS PUT THE PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY FIRST I JUST WISH THEY WOULD OPEN UP THERE MINDS AND QUIT FIGHTING AGAINST OUR SURVIVAL.

Dave is the man. Go OBAMA!!!!
