It's Bens right to vote for who he wants. I voted for Hillary in NH … GO Hillary!!!

Who gives a flip who Affleck backs. He's just a wannabe terrible actor, loose living bum.

Okay, the time has come for the next war, which unfortunately will happen.

Now Ben, don your full battle rattle (i.e. individual body armor, M16-A2, 20 round clip magazines), and let's defend America.

Oh, what's that? You prefer to direct and act in movies? Oh… Okay, well send us a care package with a DVD of your next movie. Sleep tight, we got your back!

Hey, this is still America, he is entitled to support anyone he wants.

As I understand the interview he intends to support the Democratic nominee in the general election.

That works for me.

Hillary Clinton '08

Oh, and yes we can do that we can say we made a mistake…something those on the right never do because they are perfected like Ann Coulter I suppose.

God is he cute. Ben has always been one of my favorite guys. Hey, he said he would vote for Obama in the primary but he will definetely vote for a Dem in the general. What's not to love. At least he's not like that stupid Check Norris voting for an idiot Repub. Even Merle Haggard who has always been a rebub is supporting a dem this time (Hillary). We got to get these repub crooks out of there. They are ruinging our country. I wish they would create their own little country with the 25% diehard who think they never can do anything wrong. We could give them Alaska and they could all live up there with the corrupt Stevens.

Ben is not a great actor, I wish he learn and study more about his acting, not a politics. I don't think he knows anything about Obama, he didn't mention anything Obama's accomplishment, so I don't care what Ben said, he just need spotlight for his popularity so used Obama.

Kudos! Affleck, that the way to go. Bravo! Obama 08!

Another wise man and great screenwriter/actor!

Why post who the actors are voting for president? If anyone would let these knuckleheads influnence their vote shame on them.

I will quote Chico Stick to acting and "directing" you dimwit. Osama, Oh sorry, I mean Obama is green. He carries little weight. We need a strong person to bring something to the table. We can't vote for someone on color – what's his color going to do in a problem arises? We need a someone who is strong. Clinton will win the nomination and the election. Hopefully she will choose Biden as VP. Not Obama – its not about what makes history. It's about who will make history. Clinton and Biden 2008!!!! Ben is a has been. No one cares who he votes for.

Another left wing hollywood Al Qaida supporter turning toward the Dems. When will Hollywood ever learn to support our troops?

And voters should listen to actors like Ben Affleck because… ?

Seriously, Affleck's about as intelligent and politically savvy as my pet cockatoo – and she's been dead for 11 years.

If you don't care for Affleck, than why wouldn't you just scroll down and not waste time by posting "who cares?"

I'm not usually a fan of Affleck fan, but he speaks well about why he supports Obama. Obama has been consistant with his opposition to these new, rash wars against Iraq and Iran.

Obama '08!

So Ben Affleck supports Obama. Who cares? The vast majority of Hollywood constantly supports the Democratic party so this is no surprise.

Larry King should have a random cowboy from the midwest, or a store clerk from New England, on his show to discuss their view on politics. At least they're not living in a bubble world.

Good for you, Ben. who cares!

It's good to know that some actors still dare to take straight stands. I liked Affleck's comment on not being "soured" by Bush's acts on politics. This is what it's all about, to try to find always the ways to achieve objectives. Of course, objectives and ways DO MAKE SOME DIFFERENCE. That's why Obama is at the right time to become president and show the world change is possible.

In related news, fellow irrelevant actor, Normal Fell announced that he's supporting Ron Paul.

WHO CARES about these people?

Many talented people are sheltered possibly because of their obsession with their arts. While I respect Ben Affleck's personal endorsement of obama, his choice should in no way affect his fan. His reasons for backing obama are misinformed or weak, however.

To Wallace in Chicago,I will be happy to oblige:

I hate Hillary, the entire country hates Hillary, and I have nothing better to do.

Swift Boat Vets for Truth!!!

$100 on Affleck against Chuck Norris. I say the kid can take him.

People on here can be so negative. There's no reason to call Affleck a "dimwit" just because (OMG!) he has a brain and uses it.

I swear, if the ticker is any indication of America, then we are a nation of rude idiots.

I wonder what planet you people are from. I think you guys are the reason why other countries hate America! Look at your comments regarding who Ben Affleck is supporting! It's his god given right to support whom ever. Just because he doesnt support your candidate he gets called all types of names! Thats a shame

No one care who actors endorse. End of story.

Ben is a side chair political junkie just like the rest of you guys posting here. He has a right to voice his opinion. To each their own. And to the poster who said Obama has no executive experience. I might add, HRC doesn't either.

Calling a married couple in politics a "dynasty" is rather odd. The Bushes and the Kennedys, with their political siblings, cousins, children, etc. – these are dynasties. The Clintons are not a dynasty: they do not have an extended political family on either side.

Clinton/Obama 2008!

Aren't there more important political things to discuss?

Obama certainly has a lot of work to do… The last national primary poll taken by LA Times shows that since Obama is now basically tied with John Edwards! Link.

Latest Cali. Poll:

Survey USA Clinton-57 Obama-20

how embarrassing ; Ben doesn't know that Obama has NO EXECUTIVE experience. Why anyone would vote for a candidate without a record of success is beyond me ?

Who cares? A clown endorsing an inexperienced politician has not stated an agenda that offers anything extraordinary to the American people. On the other hand, Tom Tancredo has the most to offer to all American citizens.

Wow, now I can sleep at night! Ha.

Who the hell cares?

Hell yes he should be backing Obama. Any sane person in this country should be as well. Obama is smarter, has more common sense, and better judgement than any other candidate. He's inspired more people and raised more money without the help of lobbies and PACS. he's a community organizer, a professor of constitutional law, and a civil rights attorney. He listens. He was against Iraq in 2002 and against Hillary's Iran vote last week.

Obama is the future of this nation. I'd put my life in his hands and my country. When he talks, I believe him.

This country needs vision and great ideas and the ability to pull it all off. Obama has all that.

This January and February, vote in your cacuases and primaries like your life depends on it, because it does.

Stand up for Obama, or fall over for anything and everything.

Obama 08

Who cares who Ben Affleck is backing?

Ben,that's a smart choice.Let stop the dynasty!

James Phoenix, Arizona

Please provide your usual dose of hate here. I'm waiting for more hate from you. My day is never complete without it.

Affleck is a racist right? No Oprah is a racist for backing Obama because she's black. Wait, everyone who is black is a racist for backing Obama.

And Affleck is crazy for supporting someone who actually cares about the American people right? I know. Please keep it coming.

Wallace

Never cared for Affleck anyway!

I'm a big fan of Ben Affleck and very disappointed in this! He has absolutely no idea what he's talking about and gave zero reason (or a very, very weak one!) for his support for Barack Obama. Augh! Ben – Why didn't you brush up on this topic 15 minutes before the show….so you could have made an informed opinion?! – And than the millions of misinformed Americans watching could have actually learned something from you. Its a shame!

i support ben's choice also…anything to stop her "pure evil magesty"..can you see bubba with a free reign while she is leading our (i mean ted kennedys) country…call a lifeguard!!!!

WHO FREAKIN CARES WHO IN CELEBRITY IS ENDORSING

It's about his judgement with regard to the war. It's about his consistency in opposing the current round of aggressive posturing that has further inflamed the middle east. It's about recognizing the incredible errors of the current administration and not putting a democrat into office who will continue the mindset that led to these errors.

Thank you Ben Affleck

I always knew this kid from hollywood when he and jennifer were on the news all the time. It never occurred to me Ben Affleck will ever mature but I can not believe how well he handles himself when he appear on late night shows. I share the same feelings with him. People have been drained morally and the goodness of people or humane is gone and we need it back really bad. I can not say more than Affleck has said all the time.

While he may be a talented actor, I don't think that the public needs the unsolicited advice of anyone with the turbulent personal life and lack of education that Affleck brings to the table. I would also enjoy recieving insight into complex political issues from someone who has more than a high school education and perhaps never had to resort to living on Matt Damon's couch because he couldn't cut it on his own.

And why should I care?

Stick to acting and "directing" you dimwit.

Don't care about Chuck Norris, don't care about Oprah and don't care about Ben. They hold no sway with me.

A very wise choice.
