Watch Snoop Dogg talk politics.

(CNN) — Days before 22 states are set to hold Democratic primary contests, it appears at least one crucial endorsement is still up for grabs: Rapper Snoop Dogg's.

The rapper and music producer told CNN's Larry King he is torn between both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton's historic candidacies.

"I just want to see somebody win in the best interest of America — whether it be [Obama], a black man, or whether it be Hillary, a woman," Snoop Dogg, whose real name is Cordozar Calvin Broadus, Jr., says in an exclusive interview set to air Friday night.

"Either one is a great move for America," he continued. "We need change. We need somebody in there that's about listening to the people and representing the people. I think both of the candidates will do that."

Snoop Dogg also said he thinks America is ready for a black president, noting Obama is the first African-American with a legitimate chance to win the White House.

"In the past we had presidential candidates like [Rev.] Jesse Jackson. We didn't really think he can win," he said. "Right now people feel like this man could really win. He's got the right thing going for him. He's got the right conversation. He's in line with the right scenario to win. Whether he wins or loses, he made a great step for black America by even stepping to the table and pulling off something like this."

Catch Larry King's interview with Snoop Dogg, Friday, 9 p.m. ET.

Who cares what Snoop Dogg thinks!

Jacque Bauer   February 1st, 2008 7:22 pm ET

This is a FANTASTIC endorsement of the Republican candidate - whoever that is!

America America   February 1st, 2008 7:22 pm ET

This is one endorsement that Hillary can have…Sen Obama is better off without this one.

Who Cares!?   February 1st, 2008 7:24 pm ET

All this joker wants to know is which one of the two would federally legalize 'mary-jane'. Why would anyone care what this joker thinks?!

Janel, St. Paul, MN   February 1st, 2008 7:25 pm ET

For heaven's sake. . .who is "Snoopy Dog????

Vlad   February 1st, 2008 7:27 pm ET

let's not forget Barak is half-white …. I'm surprised there aren't more calling him a white candidate. I like Barak, I hate Hillary, … but I really want to put a dagger into the Right-Wing Evangelists who have ruined our country .. therefore I will vote for Hillary (and I'll also buy stocks of anti-depressant making companies)

beren   February 1st, 2008 7:27 pm ET

Even Snoop Dogg realizes Hillary is ALSO able to bring change…

Shaddy   February 1st, 2008 7:27 pm ET

Shidizzle man, I thought the dude would have endorsed another weed smoker, that just not right man.

LakeShore   February 1st, 2008 7:27 pm ET

Hillarious! When does Frankie Muniz make his endorsement?

Patrick Peavy Plano,TX   February 1st, 2008 7:28 pm ET

You can be for both Clinton/Obama 2008!!!

Aj   February 1st, 2008 7:28 pm ET

ok NOW this is becoming too much. CNN has kept my comments in moderation… is slacking on authentic news coverage… and now this…. who cares?????

Matt Canoga Park   February 1st, 2008 7:30 pm ET

Political advice from a pothead. Now there is a news story CNN.

Cathy   February 1st, 2008 7:31 pm ET

Really CNN…. is this news?!? Give me a break.

Robin   February 1st, 2008 7:32 pm ET

I am pretty sure Snoop's opinion won't carry much weight either way. Maybe he will pull for Ralph Nadir who is about to join as a third party and take away voters from the democratic base and therefore have a Republican in the White House again.

Ben   February 1st, 2008 7:34 pm ET

Don't know why this is a story but it just must be a slow news day….seemingly like every other day….

Tom Lee   February 1st, 2008 7:37 pm ET

Honestly….waiting for an endorsement by Snoop Dogg? If you're still wondering which candidate you should choose for and need this 'critical' endorsement to help you decide……..do use a favor and don't vote.

Anti Partisan   February 1st, 2008 7:41 pm ET

Snoop is a true hero of my generation!! I grew up with him on the airwaves and albums. I like his views on this, thank you snoop!

Frank   February 1st, 2008 7:43 pm ET

First, why should anybody care who Snoop Dogg supports?

Second, HOW IS IT NEWS that he's not supporting anyone?

Somebody who we shouldn't care about in the first place doesn't have an opinion. STOP THE PRESSES!

Geez…

Karen, Jersey City   February 1st, 2008 7:44 pm ET

Oh great, now we should care what a man who calls women h's and b's thinks about the Presidency… just great…. I guess snoop represents the 'real brother in the hood'?

pleaze……

RB, from the bay state   February 1st, 2008 7:48 pm ET

No wonder he changed his name……….

LeeAnn N. Taylor, San Francisco, Ca   February 1st, 2008 7:50 pm ET

Awww..me loves Snoop!

Sly   February 1st, 2008 7:52 pm ET

Come on CNN.. is this really news? Or are you mocking Snoop Dogg?

Jason in Connecticut   February 1st, 2008 7:59 pm ET

Fo shizzle.

chad   February 1st, 2008 8:01 pm ET

are you serious, what will America do if Snoop Dog can not make a choice. We are looking to him to guide us! Come on this is a really ignorant story as if we are sitting on the sidelines waiting for Snoop Dogs approval? Can we hear something more newsworthy?

Christine Atlanta, Ga.   February 1st, 2008 8:01 pm ET

At least Snopp is a thinker. Not endorseing a person solely on their race.

cesar rodriguez   February 1st, 2008 8:03 pm ET

THIS IS STUPID.

J. McKinney SW MO   February 1st, 2008 8:04 pm ET

Sounds to me like he is for Obama. I'm for Hillary!

David Snider   February 1st, 2008 8:07 pm ET

Snoop I agree. Also, as a Black man speaking. I think Obama represents the part of the Black Generation which never gave up. We need more Obamas and less Snoops!

I was a little amazed that Master P has said he wont cuss anymore on his songs or degrade women. Thats a step in the right direction. But One step for Master P, One Million steps for Obama.

Eliminate degrading words from songs, cancel crime related music videos which poison our children, get children to school and off the streets and for once Snoop….. Coming from a Black Man who loves your music. Stop poisoning my PEOPLE, OUR PEOPLE!

Obama 08

john q. public   February 1st, 2008 8:07 pm ET

OH MY GOD! Snoop, will you PLEASE hurry up and make up your mind! Millions of Americans, as well as myself, are just waiting for you to make up your mind so we know who to vote for!!!

J, Ca   February 1st, 2008 8:09 pm ET

Snoop dogg could have easily won South Carolina Primary.
Has a good shot at Georgia as well.

Wallace, Chicago, IL   February 1st, 2008 8:09 pm ET

Come on CNN, Snoop Dogg?

Well, I can see him replacing Jeff Toobin, but other than that, let's let the "experts" weigh in on the candidates.

Lol… Snoop Dogg? Larry King Live?
Has it come to that? :-)

Obama 08!

Disgusted   February 1st, 2008 8:09 pm ET

As a convicted felon, I question whether Mr. Dogg even has the right to vote? Well, at least he's making an intelligent comment, more than I can say for some of the posters on these blogs.

Michael Fox   February 1st, 2008 8:12 pm ET

Snoop Dog? Now I've seen and heard it all. You think American's really care who Snoop Dog endorses? I don't believe HIllary or Barack are being kept awake at night wondering if Snoop Dog will throw his endorsement behind either one of them. Here's a man who has killed a man, has been arrested numerous times for drugs, is considered a "Gangster Rap Artist" and has the clout of Britney Spears and we're to be worried about who he endorses? Come on America - we should be cared about who the shakers and movers of this country back not a rap artist who's a thug.

FV, Tampa, FL   February 1st, 2008 8:15 pm ET

The mere fact he's confused confirms that Hillary is the best choice.
Take out the obvious conflict of interest in him being a black man and you it wouldn't be an issue. If Obama was White he'd vote for Hillary in a second.
Let's fact it America, if Obama wasn't black, he'd never have gotten this far.

BV   February 1st, 2008 8:16 pm ET

You're right, who cares what an American Voter thinks! How preposterous! Voters are so SILLY!

Teri from Nashville   February 1st, 2008 8:16 pm ET

Ditto, to Allen.

George from Minneapolis   February 1st, 2008 8:18 pm ET

Well said Snoop. Alot of people will probally be shocked that he is not a dumb illiterate young man.

CHERYL   February 1st, 2008 8:19 pm ET

GO FOR HILLARY SNOOP SHES THE MAN! OH I MEAN WOMAN!!!!!!!!!! I LIKE YOUR SHOW! HILLARY CLINTON 2008.

Curtis   February 1st, 2008 8:19 pm ET

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!! Infotainment at it's best.

Kevin   February 1st, 2008 8:20 pm ET

Allen - That's nice. Really grown-up comment.

Snoop dog, as an entertainer, does have a lot of influence. You and I won't be influenced, but if his participation in this gets others, who do like his music and his lifestyle, to tune in and vote, then we all win.

L-Mani S. Viney   February 1st, 2008 8:22 pm ET

Snoop. We, the Obama Campaign, really needs you to come through for us. ENDORSE CLINTON!!!

Walt, Belton, TX   February 1st, 2008 8:22 pm ET

Just when I didn't think Larry King could reach any lower or interview anyone of a lower character and he comes through again. Congratulations, Larry, you are definitely the Sewer of TV Interviewers.

Mike Sullivan   February 1st, 2008 9:16 pm ET

#1 No one cares what an entertainer thinks, esp Snoop Dog. He is taking himself too seriously, just like Jesse Jackson did.

#2 In his quotes, he says "black America". I thought it was supposed to be African American America to be politically correct.

gene   February 1st, 2008 9:18 pm ET

Obama For President and snoop dog for Vice President, That is a great combination. It will sweep the nation.

Brian   February 1st, 2008 9:38 pm ET

His opinion may not matter to many of you older folks, but to us college-age people, this is someone our generation has grown up with. Last time I checked, American voters, most of whom are of the older generation, elected Bush, TWICE. Think twice before criticizing someone else's opinion.

John   February 1st, 2008 9:41 pm ET

I know if I were a candidate I'd want the endorsement of a misogynistic, convicted felon like Broadus, who preaches death to cops and abuse of women. And he can't even vote! I can't think of anything that would make me more popular with the American people than having a gang member and smut peddler like him on my side.

Farrell, Houston, Tx   February 1st, 2008 9:41 pm ET

Hillary if president will be tied up in the Iraq war hearings which have been going on during the Bush administration, she's in bed with John McCain. The republicans know this and if Hillary wins the republicans will take the White back after 4 years. Democrats you need to watch more than the debates, watch the hearings. Obama does not bring this baggage with him. Wake up and vote Obama.

Moe, NY   February 1st, 2008 9:52 pm ET

Ah….poor Snoop Dogg….study history….experience is what this country needs at this point in time. Love Obama, but will not vote for him due to the fact that he is clueless where experience comes into play. Hillary, hmmm…yea, guess I am going for that vote, because of her experience and her health care plan….must admit, it is much better than Obama's…she has had a lot of time to perfect it! What I do know for a fact..is…that there is no way I will vote for a REPUBLICAN. Best case senairo…..Clinton/Obama ticket….or….Obama/Clinton ticket.

joe   February 1st, 2008 9:52 pm ET

come on snoop…. VOTE AND ENDORSE HILLARY CLINTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!

VOTE FOR SENATOR HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

UC Mike   February 1st, 2008 10:31 pm ET

Snoop Dogg> James Madison

He is truly the greatest political mind in all of America

Kay   February 1st, 2008 10:32 pm ET

Hmm, America embraces ignorant and troubled Black Men… When they change or progress for the better, the are ridiculed even worse. . love to see Black men fail at every cost.

veronica lynne   February 1st, 2008 10:34 pm ET

OMG, what next??? Ha Ha Ha
I think he's going for Obama!

Linda   February 1st, 2008 10:37 pm ET

WIth all respect to him as a fellow human, who is Mr. S.D. to punditize about politics? Give me a break. Who gives a rat's ***?

TC   February 1st, 2008 10:39 pm ET

Stop bad mouthiing Snoop, he is entitled to his own opinion. Besides, he makes more money than most idiots who badmouth him, and that probably goes for most of you idiots on this blog. I agree with this, an endorsement from Snoop to Clinton will really help Obama, so do your thizzle fo shizzle dizzle.

Mona   February 1st, 2008 10:40 pm ET

Ditto Kay. They hate progress…. I watch the entire interview with Snoop and he has really change. I love that about him!!! He no longer refer women to Bit and Ho's in his lyrics.

Change means progress and some actually to see change in black men. they would rather them talk amout rims, money and gold chains.

Tom (TN)   February 1st, 2008 10:42 pm ET

Ya'll best back off my Dawg…

elena   February 1st, 2008 10:43 pm ET

Ditto to ALL on Larry's sleeziness!

JP, HI   February 1st, 2008 10:45 pm ET

Obama and Hillary must be falling over themselves for those Compton and Long Beach votes. Snoop should endorse who can do a better C-walk - I'll vote for the other person.

Maybe McCain can rap better than he can sing? That would totally steal my vote.

Joni   February 1st, 2008 10:46 pm ET

Snoop is a smart man. No presidential candidate would want a controversial figure like Snoop Dogg to endorse them. That does not mean Snoop Dog is not influential….many of you know that Snoop's lingo, lifestyle, style of dress and his music has penetrated even the most surburban areas of our nation. However, he realizes the potential negative impact he could have by saying WHO he supports. I'm glad he did not, both for the Clinton and the Obama campaigns. Fa shizzle!

Ian   February 1st, 2008 10:48 pm ET

As I sift through the news each day it amazes me what fark is put on here.

Every man is entitled to his opinion even though I'll admit I am not a fan of Snoops work… I don't see what it matters what he thinks about the canadates simply because he is a convicted fellon and can't vote ANYWAYS.

That would be like asking Ethan Hawking what he thinks about the Olympics and what sport he should compete in.

zellah60609   February 1st, 2008 10:48 pm ET

Snoop Dogg has a TV show he is promoting folks. Nothing else!

Jper   February 1st, 2008 10:48 pm ET

It is imparative for Obama to become the democratic nominee for President, otherwise we'll be witnessing the inauguration of John McCain next January.

If the Democrats fail to nominate Barack then there will be a moderate republican (McCain) up against a far-left democrat (Clinton). The Republicans would love this! McCain would be more appealing to dyed-in-the-wool republicans (to stay loyal to their party), moderate republicans (like McCain) and independents (voters looking for someone in the middle). Clinton would be way too far to the left, her base would shrink, and hence the democrats will surely lose this chance!!

I sincerely hope democrats understand this! Nominate Obama or you can kiss the Presidency goodbye.

Glen, Boston, MA   February 1st, 2008 10:48 pm ET

Hogan, Norris, Snoopy…

I wish society's brilliant leaders would come to a consensus so I could know who I should vote for!

Come on, Steven Segal, break the gridlock!

Alyssa   February 1st, 2008 10:49 pm ET

I think it completely ridiculous that Obama is called a "black" presidential candidate. He is just as white as he is black.

Gobama   February 1st, 2008 11:08 pm ET

Ha ha!

Snoop most likely needs to have the smoke cleared from his brain before he's able to come to a clear decision. lol

Considering Snoop's awesome power over females, he will no doubt have good use for Hilary who cannot resist a strong male figure. lol

Vic   February 1st, 2008 11:13 pm ET

Please, please, everyone. Follow Snoop Dog in considering both candidates very carefully before making a decision on your voting.

Each of the candidates is knowledgeable and have good reasons for wanting to lead this country.

But we all should remember that there's more to being President than being able to speak beautiful and attractive words. Also, how much better would it be if Barack Obama had a record of any sorts that could be compared with Hillary Clinton's, but it just simply isn't there. At this dire time in our country and its threats from terrorists, whomever is elected is going to need all the experience and world standing they can possibly possess. In my mind, Hillary Clinton is that person.

As for Hillary's voting to depose Saddam Hussein, she should not have to be on the defensive. Heck, we sided with Bush because he told us things that simply was not true. This is not Hillary's fault; it is George Bush's.

Barry   February 1st, 2008 11:14 pm ET

Oh Boy, oh boy , oh boy Well done America, if you could only get your children to share the same dislike for " Snoop the Dog " among others like him, jail funding would be cut 95% Oh, back to the politics. If either Democrat or Republican could find a white male candidate that was as eloquent and right on target as Obama, Hillary Mcain and others would be yester - year news.

Independent   February 2nd, 2008 7:10 am ET

rolling down the street smoking… sippin on gin and juice

glad he is telling us how to vote!

Nora   February 2nd, 2008 8:18 am ET

irrelevant.

Sam Rose   February 2nd, 2008 9:38 am ET

Snoop Dogg? are you kidding Larry King with this interview???
Larry, I watch you every night—except this one…….and who cares about
"Chicken and Waffles" when people in NOLA still don't have homes, others are losing their homes , and honestly we have many children in this country going to bed hungry every night??
Larry—I have two words for you ; GET REAL

Gren   February 2nd, 2008 10:09 am ET

Go Hillary!

Richard Rote (California)   February 2nd, 2008 10:32 am ET

Snoop Dogg is not an intellect, and not a politician. This is one endorsement I really don't care about at all.

BobW   February 2nd, 2008 10:43 am ET

"The mere fact he's confused confirms that Hillary is the best choice.
Take out the obvious conflict of interest in him being a black man and you it wouldn't be an issue. If Obama was White he'd vote for Hillary in a second.
Let's fact it America, if Obama wasn't black, he'd never have gotten this far.

Way to keep racism alive with comments like yours. Do you really beleive people are basing their vote on skin color or gender? Are black people incapable of making informed decisions? How about Latinos? Are Asian people better informed because they aren't black? Please! Sounds like more Clintonesque racism. Ranks right up there with the Jessie Jackson comment.

Jim Loomis   February 2nd, 2008 10:44 am ET

This is NEWS???? No wonder we're in trouble!

Casey   February 2nd, 2008 10:55 am ET

You all are being too hard on Snoop. He's allowed to have an opinion (it might not matter to anyone, but he's still allowed to have one).

veronica lynne   February 2nd, 2008 11:04 am ET

Should we care what Snoop Dog thinks?? Good grief.
Go Hillary!!!

Trev   February 2nd, 2008 11:06 am ET

I don't think this is news either. It is amazing though that this is one of the more sophisticated opinions I have heard on this issue in awhile. He is actually THINKING about it rather than making an uninformed decision. It took me over 8 months to choose between HRC and Obama (I chose HRC). It seems like there are a number of people in this campaign who are voting on gender or race alone.

Bob   February 2nd, 2008 11:13 am ET

Funny that everyone shouts "Who cares about what Snoop Dogg thinks?", yet every one of you had to click to the story in order to leave a comment. That must mean that at least you were curious what the man had to say. And why is his opinion any less important than anyone elses?

mike   February 2nd, 2008 11:13 am ET

why should we listen to some joint totin' rapper about who's going to run this country???

Rip   February 2nd, 2008 11:14 am ET

Wow!!! This is a snapshot of the Democrat Party as a whole. A convicted felony, drug user, thug rapper, wondering which candidate he would vote for if he was allowed to vote. But without having to provide a photo ID, he'll probably get to vote anyway.

Theresa   February 2nd, 2008 11:17 am ET

Yikes, lots of harsh criticism for Snoop Dog.

Remember people he is AN AMERICAN AND HAS THE RIGHT TO HIS OWN OPINIONS.

I suggest some of you who don't think his opinions matter should possibly move to a country where there is no Democratic process. That way your opinions, which you seem to think are so much better, will not be listened to either.

Patrick L.   February 2nd, 2008 11:24 am ET

It's over, GOP.

You can't win in November no matter what you do.

veronica lynne   February 2nd, 2008 11:27 am ET

Should we care what Snoop Dog thinks?? Good grief.
Go Hillary!!!!!

Roy M   February 2nd, 2008 11:32 am ET

Theresa, sometimes it is better to sit and look like an idiot, and not open your mouth and prove it, thats the real american way. And by the way, I was born here over fifty years ago, and I am still amazed that people like you think this country is an EDEN, just for you information, its not! Thats why I keep running into more and more people like me that are trying to get away from people like you. Veterans like myself have defended so called free speech for people like you, but we don't have to like it, and as free speech is, I can express it. So please sit there and look beautiful, just don't open your mouth and spoil it.

Tim   February 2nd, 2008 11:39 am ET

At least Snoop is hornest, he knows that both would make good presidents. Hillary has the best chance to beat a Republican to become president. Let your votes count.

observer#1   February 2nd, 2008 11:52 am ET

And???

Ground Hog   February 2nd, 2008 11:59 am ET

Who cares! Why not ask the ground hog who he's supporting since he just predicted six more weeks of winter. Snoop Dog, Attack Dog, Yellow Dog, Blue Dog et al., but this thread is just plain "doggone stupid".

j. styles   February 2nd, 2008 12:00 pm ET

it's easy for mega stars to sit on the fence of support, because they don't live where we live and haven't looked back since leaving where we live. i mean, it would be great if we lived in a time and place where the principals of choosing a leader were based who's the best person for the job? who's going to take us where we need to be? not on who black, or who's a woman. unfortunately we live here and now and we do choose who we want based on things of that nature. what I've observed living in a capital city with about 6 colleges, ("the record # voter") is lack of campaigning and barely any poster's. It's a big "minority" area so the name Clinton ring bells. Most of the voters where i live are chanting Clinton. the younger crowd non-voters (not under age just don't vote) are yelling Obama. all it would take to get the people where I live (and areas like where i live) to vote, would be Snoop Dogg or JayZ to get on BET and support one of them. which everyone gets supported on BET will have a smooth ride. but the people where i live don't vote. and people like 50, BET, hill and obama know this. its the same everywhere, even in local elections so.

AJ   February 2nd, 2008 12:04 pm ET

And Snoop Dogg is such a fine upstanding American…..
Lets hope he endorses McCain!

Mr Bob   February 2nd, 2008 12:08 pm ET

Who really cares what Snoop Dogg thinks? Larry King should be ashamed for giving this individual an audience.

ruby marshall   February 2nd, 2008 12:14 pm ET

Snoop, Obama will be a "trial and error" president…
and Hillary will be a "proven and tested" president..
Hillary' strong will and dedication to serve the people
and the country are worth voting for her…

GO HILLARY!!!

ANTI CLINTONS   February 2nd, 2008 12:23 pm ET

Larry King is so hard up for people to come onto his stupid show, he has to settle for a washed up, old haggard rapper! talk about hitting the bottom of the barrel!

Who really cares what a crimminal is torn about voting for. He's just an idiot, so when he votes for Hitlery, you can see what an idiot he is.

Obama!

Ron Bennett   February 2nd, 2008 12:27 pm ET

Snoop Dogg

My son liked him so much years ago that they named the kitten we got from the pet store after him. Snoop Cat…

ginny   February 2nd, 2008 12:33 pm ET

Oh get a grip you jerks! I was never a fan, but I did watch Larry King last night and it was an excellent interview. In case you were not aware, Mr. King does not just have political guests, they are chosen from many facets of life, and Snoop has an interesting story to tell. Like it or not, his opinion may indeed be relevant to some of his fans. The mere fact that he stated clearly he intends to make up for the wrongs he has committed, made me listen to his story. He DOES want to make the country better for young African Americans, very few celebrities are standing up and doing as much as they can in this regard, so my hats off to him for that. Cut him some slack people, at least he's trying, are you?

votehillary2008   February 2nd, 2008 12:36 pm ET

I think it's interesting that Snoop Dogg can speak with this much intelligence.

It proves that his "gangsta rap" image was a front in order to make millions. During the 1990s, I saw many of my peers go down the wrong path because Snoop, Dre and others made it look cool. Granted, their parents have most of the blame, but the music certainly didn't help. Now, many of those young men are in jail and Snoop is rich, being a good father to his son and talking about politics on Larry King Live.

African-Americans should be enraged about what gangsta rap helped do to our community and stop whining over whether or not Bill Clinton played the race card.

Jarmar Gaines   February 2nd, 2008 12:37 pm ET

I read all these comments and I have to say this is a shame that you demise Snoop because of his name and occupation. I think if he chooses to endorse one of these canidates they will gain boosted popularity in the urban community. Snoop is a not only a rapper to some people he is role model. He just as Obama over came the obstacles given to them at youth and still made something themselves. Yea Snoop has had problems who hasn't.. I think he would be a great addition to Obama 08′ Endorsements

Satch   February 2nd, 2008 12:37 pm ET

Snoop, what a joke. Who is this guy anyway. The poster boy for an America that turns into that move "Idiocracy" and Hillary is at the helm? How poetic….

Snoop probably sold the weed to Bill Clinton who smoked it, but didn't inhale….
Yeah I know Bill….

GO OBAMA !!!!!!

TJT   February 2nd, 2008 12:44 pm ET

Obama is inspiring people but his lack of experience is the problem. So it is difficult for him to get the nomination eventhough he got many endorsements. The endorsements wont matter much. It is the peoples decision to elect who they want to be in the oval office when we have economic problem, national security issues etc.

Mike, CA   February 2nd, 2008 12:49 pm ET

Why is this on the Ticker? When Rep.Maxine Waters, a respected Congresswoman and powerful figure in the Congressional Black Caucus endorsed Clinton recently, it was barely mentioned. Now here comes Snoop Dogg with a photo and article even though he hasn't endorsed either candidate.

I feel badly for Hillary; she has to try to get her positive message out in spite of a biased media and dirty tricks from the Obama campaign. What an uphill battle! But, she is strong, dedicated, and I think, will persevere.

F Lane   February 2nd, 2008 12:51 pm ET

Wow, so many haters here but one thing you guys have overlooked is that a lot of folks obviously do care. The fact that these two are running has brought everybody back into it. Democratics, Republicans, Independents, right vs left, young vs old, and its good to see this much excitement over politics and get us communicating with each again, for better or worse. The only thing I credit GW and his current administration for is creating such an environment that this would have been possible if it weren't for his poor governing that the people of this country are so fed up with. So, you bigots keep up the bad work, we know that will never change but we'll all talking brightly and boldly again so lets get this country back on any course again and take it back!

Just because one smokes pot or has smoked pot I don't think this diminishes his or her opinion. To all those who keep saying who cares about this story, obviously you do ar you would not take the time to post here.

This being America Snoop is entitled to his opinion. McCain will win anyway if EITHER Clinton or Obama is the Democratic nominee. Joe and Jane six-pack will see to that.

Snoop should endorse Ron Paul, because he is the only one who advocates the end of the senseless Drug War.

Respect…..the American presidential race will be a true sentiment of your Country's true colours on democracy for outsiders like myself especially the democratic campaign. Snoop is a great guy, his opinions are politically correct because your politics are still full of such and I believe he is a true reflection of that…..Come on America lets see….who will be the democractic candidate.

A vote for Snoop Dogg is a vote for our children

See you in the White House, Snoop

Michael   February 2nd, 2008 2:06 pm ET

He is smarter than most postings on here.

Snoop Dogg looks like Obama with girly hair like Hillary.

rich   February 2nd, 2008 4:02 pm ET

Not knocking Snoop Dog for getting into the mix, but since he has this question has come to mind: Can Snoop Dog even vote given his criminal past?

Diggs' Crew   February 2nd, 2008 4:36 pm ET

A futile attempt to have a pop icon to sway the 18-36 voters, who btw Obama has inspired and apparently support him—-Snoop, dude, go smoke one and do your homework….Obama 08!

josh   February 2nd, 2008 4:37 pm ET

Independent he is not telling us how to vote! He is merely expressing his opinion. Everyone lay off snoop, he's a good guy!

30%er   February 3rd, 2008 6:42 am ET

dont think snoop can vote in the first place. This is a guy who made his wealth glamorizing the decay of society, violence in our youth, and degrading women. Now some want to hear his oppinion on politics ? I clicked on this site to see who would acually voice in favor of what he thought, NOT to read or care what he thought.

If this character had endorsed Obama, all of you would praise him.

Snoop Dogg is as entitled to his opinion as any of us, and he happens to be more thoughtful and articulate about it than many posters on this board.
