The problem with this junir senator is that he has not established the trust that he can be trusted for what he had done in the past. Since he had done nothing, other than had done some questionable money raising for himself.

All of my favorite men together. I love it!!!

Very serious Obama supporter, BTW, I'm a white middle aged woman!

Powerful Woman for No-Drama OBAMA!

Simply "Awesome"!!!

All I can say is YES WE CAN!!!! Obama 08!!!

Yawn.

EXCELLENT !!!!!
Obama/Edwards08 Si Se Puede

Thank you Ben Afflack. I watched you campaigning with John
Kerry in the Last Campaign. I prayed that John Kerry would win.
I could see that your endorsement made a big difference to
"The John Kerry Campaign." and if not for the tricky politics of
the "Bush cronies" John Kerry would have won and you, like others
were a good omen on Kerry's side. You have been my hero of a
movie star since I have seen you at the Campaigns. Your wife, Jennifer is a beautiful woman and I love her too. Stay with Obama.

Retired Professional w/woman of 63 for OBAMA as President of the good ole USA. NO "DREAM TICKET" WITH HILLARY

Matt Damon and Ben Affleck won't get my money for their movies from now on. And I won't let them take away my country by supporting Obama either.
If people can't see how crooked Obama is, this country is in big trouble. He might not be as bad as Bush. But why take chance? Go with the smarter one! People. I will vote Hillary first, mccain second. No way I'll vote for Obama.

Obama inspires me to reach beyond the stars where hopes can come true

I am tired of hearing about Hillary Clinton's supposed "experience". What experience does she really have? Maybe sleeping with Bill. The really sad part is that the media is buying into her little game. If you repeat a lie often enough it begins to sound like the truth. The bottom line is that no person other than an encumbent (2nd term president or former president) has the experience to be commander-in-chief on "day one". Now come on, American Media, report the truth.

I don't care who back's Obama! He still has to prove to me, he is All American. That goes for most of the Western World as well
His word is not good enought for me, and wont be for another 2-3yrs after the way he has tried to seperate American beliefes for the past years of my Adult life…..

……………………… Go Hillary go…… An "all American" to me.

Wow.

Anybody catch Obama's wonderful minister's last tirade? Probably not if you watch CNN. You have to go to a channel that's not endorsing Obama daily. If you do see it, just remember, this man has been an inspiration for him.

Blah. I wish Hollywood would stay out of the elections. I think it just cheapens the candidate they are trying to support.

This really is a movement. Young people, older people, black, white, green, yellow, brown, rich, poor–I'm in Obama heaven.

Thanks Ben and Damon–you rock!

Ok,
if you support Hillary, make the following statements and do so because I am commanding to!

1. Who cares about Ben Affleck and Matt Damon?
2. Celebrities don't matter
3. Affleck and Damon are naive
4. Who cares about moveon.org
5. moveon.org's endorsement of Obama means nothing, it won't change anything!

If you support Obama, show your love for Ben and Matt and the moveOn.org people

Change is coming soon America, it's only a matter of getting the skeletons out of our way!

YES THEIR IS GOOD NEWS FOR SEN. OBAMA HERE IN NORTH CAROLINA ALSO. DALE EARNHEART JR. JUST ENDORSED SEN. OBAMA. SEN. OBAMA AND DALE EARNHEART JR. AMERICAN HERO'S

YES WE CAN
OBAMA/EDWARDS '08

MoveON was created in 1998 for the purpose of defending Bill Clinton during the intern-oval office-sex scandal.

I don't think the Clintons really like MoveOn that much anymore

Very nice.

I am for any support for Obama.

I wish I had the skill to edit video so I could enter.

YESSS, lets get this done and lets get the truth to the PA voters!!!!

thank you all artists, actors, musicians, teachers, farmers, contractors, students, kids, teens, moms, doctors, nurses, politicians, women, men, all peoples…………..
thank you

We all stand a chance for change for our country……………

Go Obama………

"After eight years of President Bush campaigning on fear and war, people are feeling hopeful again. They're eager to talk about what inspires them about our country — and Senator Obama leading it,”

That's a great distinction. Obama has a positive message while Hillary is still down with the fear and divide. She is as bad for our country as Bush/McCain.

Who cares who these under educated movie stars support. They only do this for their careers and to get attention. Why don't they spend their money on building homes for people in new Orleans, or helping schools in our cities. It is all very sad and materialistic.

cannot believe these two line themselves up with self centered organization…

For the first time in my adult life……. I will vote republican! The democratic party is what the Sean Hannity's and Rush Limbaughs of the world have said it is…..CRAP!!! Obama has no experience and he has no solutions. JUST WORDS!!!! I can finally say democRATS Go to Hell!!

What a great idea. I do hope that the Clinton supporters will not trash this posting. It's not knocking Hillary, they just want to give voice to the millions of people that support Obama's candidacy. We are all democrats. Let's respect each other for that.

Obama '08

The last people I want telling how to vote are rich, famous people.

. . . .Great Idea, from two fine actors and a legendary director. Its time to refocus on Senator Obama's powerful campaign message, which was threatened to be undermined
by so much negativity in the media. Pennsylvania, catch the wave!

YES WE CAN!!!!!!!
Obama 08.

Sounds like they are trying to outdo Jack. Well, Jack did it first, too bad.

I used to like Matt, Ben not so much. But now I see them both as a little less bright than I thought they were. Just jumping on the Hollywood hip thing. Too bad. I thought they did better as the cool seme-outsiders.

For the record — there is not one single voice in Hollywood that could ever tell me how to vote. I say save the money.

Wow! Damen AND Affleck?!! Obama sure is bringing out the braintrust.

Obama xeroxing again after Rob Reiner and Jack Nicholson video.
Gosh, does the guy have an original though or what?

It's so great that actors get involved in politics. They always know the right thing to do any they are all so smart! It's like duh, botox is great and gold is outpacing google stock and the dollar is crashing like crazy. Socialism is the jam too! It's like lets get the government to take care of us so we don't hurt ourselves.

Didn't Ben Affleck say "A system of capitalism presumes sound money, not fiat money manipulated by a central bank. Capitalism cherishes voluntary contracts and interest rates that are determined by savings, not credit creation by a central bank."? Oh wait that was someone else that is not to be mentioned by the news media.

If you don't understand that quote you probably don't understand why gas prices are so high and why you didn't get that big raise this year. The Fed just dumped $200b into regional banks. Smart people are gearing up to protect themselves from hyperinflation. Everyone else is gearing up for some celebrity endorsements of know-nothing politicians. Cheering the winner's name doesn't make you a winner too. Think.

WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN WHEN SENATOR CLINTON WINS PENNSYLVANIA?

IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN!!!!!!

OBAMA WILL NOT WIN!!!!!!!!!!!

GO HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does CNN really think that the average American cares who the various celebrities in Holywood are supporting? Especially when you factor in the fact that most of Obamas plans are just ideas and don't have any facts or figures to back them up or any explanations on where he plans to get billions of dollars to pay for all his new entitlement programs. If he actually thinks that taxing the rich will pay for it all he is just kidding himself since the rich have the ability and the mobility to go elsewhere and not deal with the mentality that the rich should foot the bill in this country while others pay nothing or actually get back more in tax money then they pay into the system.

Who cares what the movie folks think? Do they have some special insight? I don't like Hillary either but I am not in any way influenced by play-actors.

I see Bartleby and Loki have found their 13th Apostle…

Why are celebrity endoresements so big? This election might as well be run by American Idol. It has become a popularity contest.

Why is this story not on your home page instead of your morning story about what Pelosi said.

Goes to show that these influential people and the military personel that support Obama …. the higher majority of voters…

We all cannot be wrong! There is too many that believe to be wrong.

We are on the right path and I hope more join in and help with making a huge change in the way the government is being run.

Why is Hillary not releasing her tax documents, why is she not releasing from the clinton library the archives of pardons and such during the clintons era, Why is she not releasing the archives of earmarks in which she had over 300 million dollars in taxpayers money go to her? Where did all that go? That is ALOT of money! Three times more than Obama!

Obama released his tax forms, he has released all that is on him, he has released his archives of his 98 million earmarks of taxpayers money that helped do things for Illinois.

Lets vote for change in how the white house and the way tax payers money is being spent. Quit Letting it go to politicians and let it go to our country, our soldiers, our economy, our nation, our poor. Lets get it right this time!

Obama/Edwards 08

That's a real shocker there!….Hollywood celebs stumping for their favorite liberal.

I wonder how long until the lefties who run the studios have a major motion picture out on Obama???

It will be titled "Yes we can!….turn America into a quasi-socialist state"

I think Will Smith would be a great Obama???

Yawn.

This is really exciting.

Can't wait to see it. Barack is the star of the future and his time is NOW!

I would just like to thank everyone who is support of Obama I pray that he win the nomination but if not I have been a democrat all my life but if Obama is some how cheated out of this nomination (revote in Florida) I will for the first time in my 43 years vote republican I would much prefer McCain any day over Hillary……..

THATS IT!! Game over. Even Hollywood has deserted the Hillary campaign. She might as well cash it in.

I think that the close tie between Obama and Clinton is a big show to begin with. It is entertaining for people to read and watch the two Democrats duke it out. The media certainly has made a lot of money covering both Obama and Clinton on their campaign trails. There is even a possibility of two states having a redo of votes with mail-in-votes, which I think should be done, since everyone’s vote should count. Both candidates should be allowed to campaign up until and June, then have a revote for Florida and Michigan voters. Until then, this "movie" with these two will probably keep playing out until the Democratic National Convention.

Celebrities for Obama

Obama/Edwards 08

Hollywood support is not a positive thing for Democrats seeking to engage Independent and Republican voters. We learned that in 2000 and 2004.

What a great idea. I do hope that the Clinton supporters will not trash this posting. It's not knocking Hillary, they just want to give voice to the millions of people that support Obama's candidacy. You guys, OBAMA IS NOT MAKING THE VIDEO HIMSELF. THESE ARE HIS SUPPORTERS. We are all democrats. Let's respect each other for that.

Obama '08

IF SEN. CLINTON THINKS SHE CAN CHEAT SEN. OBAMA OUT OF THIS VOTE THEN SHE WILL DESTROY THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

JUST THE MOVIE SAY'S "THERE WILL BE BLOOD".

SEN. CLINTON IS RATED AS TONIGHT'S WORST PERSON IN THE
WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YES WE CAN
OBAMA/EDWARDS '08

YES WE CAN

NO THEY CAN'T

OBAMA08

who gives a craps about these celebretards…Ha!

obama, talk about your spiritual advisor and mentor…yes, the sexist biggot….the man that inspired your book , married you and baptized your 2 kids…hmmmmm….why don't you reject and denounce him too…ha! oh, and "fire" him from your team….

CNN why are you reporting on actors instead of reporting on the BIG story that happened yesterday???

Yesterday Senator Obama had a HUGE press conference with NINE Generals and Admirals endorsing him and saying that they thought he would be the BEST Commander in Chief of the United States of America.

There has not been one word on CNN about this.

Come on CNN play fair.

Cheryl, what is going to happen when Clinton wins Pennsylvania? Probably the same thing that happened when she won Ohio…..nothing. Do you reaize that she is further behind in pledged delegates now than she was before Ohio? Clinton's focus needs to be on convincing superdelegates that she is what is best for the party, and more capable of beating McCain. I am not saying that she is, but that is what she needs to convince the superdelgates. Everyone should realize at this point that Clinton will end up trailing in pledged delegates. That doesn't mean it is over, but Clinton supporters should maybe at least acknowledge the reality of the situation.

In a previous post. CHERYL asks, WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN HILLARY WINS PENNSYLVANIA? Well Cheryl, when the monster wins PA she will be about one hundred delegates behind Obama. All Hillary is doing is destroying the Democrat Party to fulfill her dreams of power.

Well, I am glad some hollywood people are supporting Obama especially since they are white, this proves Obama can transcend ethnic and racial background for support. And I am tired of seeing Jack Nicholson and Rob Reiner and the silliest people of SNL backing the racist supporting HiLLARY !!!!!!!!!!!!!

You people on this page, she will not win PA. PA people are nice.

Good Lord, all of Hillary's paid staff is already out!!!

Obama would do best to keep MoveOn's support for him low profile in order to keep Independents, especially the ones that supported the Iraq effort, in his camp.

I'm an Obama supporter, but honestly…

who the heck cares about Hollywood idiots? What a lame story.

"How do you like THEM apples!?"

I guess when you have nothing to offer in substantial goods except Mantras of Change, catchy phrases, quotes from Historic Leaders, you load up on Star Power, Big Names and Marketing Ploys.

Is Oprah in the Ad too?

"Damon and Affleck, along with film director Oliver Stone and singer John Legend, are among the panel of judges."

The Panel of Judges in the real world won't be so easy to fool.

Oh wow big deal. This thing w/ Obama is sounding more & more like American Idol eveyday. Sorry you have no talent, you dont get my vote. NEXT!!!!!!!!!

Hillary Clinton for President.

Mona, how is "Obama xeroxing" when this is the idea of Matt Damon and Ben Affleck?

McHillary supporters are always successful at making something good, appear bad.

Shame on you all!

Enough of the big speeches, enough of the the rhetorics! Meet us in PA! and yeah bring Ben & Matt with you!!! You might need some help!!!!

It's sad when celebrities try to influence the public on who they should vote for. I guess the wealthy controls the people. Let's vote make presidential nomination into the OSCARS!!!!

Why don't they use some of pastor Wrights thoughts for the ad, that should make for some good material!!!!

CNN thank you for reporting about Ben and Matt, it was soooooooooooo important.
But CNN somehow forgot to report about the racist remarks from Pastor Wrights, Obama’s spiritual mentor.

Some judgment obama has!!

It's unbelievable how Democrats are doing the impossible and setting themselves up to fail in the general election.

Doesn't anyone think that between the:
1) "Moveon.org" endorsement,
2) the most liberal (or nearly the most liberal) voting record in the Senate
3) The Kennedy endorsement, or
4) The Hollywood and Oprah endorsement

that somewhere in there is the kiss of death?? This liberal agenda will kill the Dems asJohn McCain is too moderate and pulls too many independents. Americans are looking for an effective moderate that can work with liberals and conservatives.

I can almost hear the advertisements the Republicans will be playing on the airwaves in the Fall!!

All the capital letters and exclamation marks in the world won't change how Senator Obama leads in the delegate count and total number of primary state elections won.

The heading of this thing makes it seem like Obama has something to do with this.

Obama doesn't need the support of MoveOn.org, he's too far to the left already, too bad he doesn't know the win is in the center.

First of all, this is an article about moveon.org., not Obama making a request. Secondly, if Hillary wins PA, she still loses to Obama, ultimately. Most states won, most elected delegates, most popular votes.
Women should think twice about Clinton as their candidate because she is a woman. Her only qualifications are that she was married to a former President. If she had not been, not only would she not be a Presidential candidate, she would not be a Senator from New York.
I want a woman to be President someday, but not this one. I want one who has earned their way to the top, on their own. Also know that if she is the nominee, the Repubicans will definitely bring out the Peter Paul debacle. It will bury her. The press is just waiting and hoping for that one.

when CNN is going to bring the radical pastor issue in obama-menia. Always last ah

Add more wood to the pile. Hollywood political endorsement is mostly just fluff, the endorsements that matter are high-ranking officials that lead the districts they represent. OBAMA '08!

holy… both my favorite actors are also backing Obama…

YES WE CAN!!!!! Another example of OBAMA bringing people together to do things!!! That 's an example of getting things done…involving groups that work together and accomplish excellence. This Hillary supporters is called CHANGE not old political machinary like gerry and the gang.. Stop holding out….be part of it…..we are waiting for Pennsylvania to get on board !!!!

Pennsylvania is only the last big state in Hillary eyes, reality is North Carolina and Indiana offer far mor delegates but she ca'nt win them so they allready do'nt matter. The big states Hillary does count are the states that historically always vote democrat anyways. Obama may even be able to shift a red state or two. Electoral college votes are what really matter, nothing else so if today was election day Obama would be the next president. Any more idiots out there disagree? Look at the facts.

There goes any ounce of respect I once had for them.

This is more for personal gain being that both of them are Hollywood HASBEENS!!!

Fight Hillary Fight!! 08

Billary and Insane Mccaine will have few choices to turn to, except over the hill country twangers like brooks and dunn and the ugly dum rocker, uhh what's his name..

I'm tired of all of these peolple saying that is their democratic candidate loses, then they will not vote or vote for McCain. If you do that, don't you people ever call yourselves democrats again. McCain is against almost everything both of the democratic candidates are for and you will go to him simply because you choose to throw a hissy fit.

Your all a digrace to all democrats.

lol, ben affleck was for john kerry who lost in 2004

hahahaha

DL said sarcastically in a previous post. WOW Obama is really bringing in the brain trust with Damon and Afleck. Actually DL, sarcasm aside. Matt Damon is a very brainy guy. He earned straight A grades in school and was pre med at Harvard. Do a little research before you fall on your face like the Clinton supporters have been doing all week.

To Cheryl:

To answer your question……If the MONSTER wins Pennsylvania

She will still be behind in the popular vote.

She will still be behind in delegates.

She will still be behind with the most states won.

I think it's a good thing. Somebody is on Obama's side.

Kudos to Damon and Affleck for showing support. Hopefully they'll be respectful and able to deliver a message that Obama's message can influence anyone.

Cheryl? Please stop making a conplete fool of yourself.

You don't win a nomination from one State. Even if Hillary wins PA, she will still be behind in delagates.

Winning is in a close race is about pulling in everyone you can, so Damon & Affleck just add more wins to the Obama side.

An endorsement is an endorsement.

To answer the above: If Hillary wins Pennsylvania.. sadly not much will change. Even if she wins it 55-45 Barack Obama will still maintain a 100+ delegate lead over Hillary.

Pretty good for someone who has "no facts or figures" and is "just ideas" with "no explanations".

Obama in 08′

BaROCK on!

Affleck was the bomb in Phantoms!

This is not a bid for the next Blockbuster Movie in Hollywood. This is the Presidency of the United States (Much More Powerful and Distinguished Honor and Privilege). I hope Obama is not toasting to this one. I am noticing yet again this pattern from CNN to overplay every endorsement received by Obama. Hillary has her endorsements but these news networks refuse to acknowledge them the way they do the Obama endorsements. Then they sit back and wonder why Senator Clinton asked the questions and made the statements about the Media Bias. Give me a break. This is becoming a real elementary type strategy by these networks in support of Obama. I have said it before and just like the first time I am sure this one will not get posted either but I am going to say it again: These networks need to stop supporting Obama simply because he is black and they are afraid of what the organizations such as NAACP will say if they challenge this man. I am a black man myself but give me a break, He is not the answer to America's problems. America needs to stand and challenge this man and ask two very important questions: Who is Barack Obama? and Will the Real Barack Obama please stand up? We have seen nothing of substance here that would support the notion of this man being the President of the most powerful nation in the world and I repeat THE WORLD!!!

PLEASE AMERICA DON'T MAKE THIS AWEFUL MISTAKE. YOU ALL NEED TO HAVE MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THIS MAN. I DO.

That is going to be a waste of money in vane because everybody knows that Clinton is more prepared and committed to the people of USA. She will win Pennsylvania.

Wow. More negativity. Is this even about America anymore for you guys?

Can we simply just say, "Hey, the fact that people [Damon, Affleck, and America] are so energized is good for America."?

Why is there so much negativity from Clinton supporters about everything?… (sigh) My gosh.

I guess it's true. The attitude of the people is a reflection of their "leadership".

Goodness. "Can we all just get along?". My gosh.

Obama '08

Cheryl,

So what if hillary monster "George Wallace" clinton wins Pennsylvania. Winning a primary doesn't portend to a win in the General election. All you hillary monster "George Wallace" clinton supporters have been utterly duped into believing that for some reason hillary monster "George Wallace" clinton will win the general because she won "big" states. That is just patently false. I understand that you people have an utter inability to understand facts but I can't understand why you people blindly follow that racist hillary monster "George Wallace" clinton.

Has everybody realized the pattern - in contrast to Hillary Clinton those who have endorsed Barack Obama are all smart and genuine people.

Disclaimer: I am an independent!

Go Obama Go…..Make us Proud!

The Blogs show more about the level of intelligence and thinking process of the individuals own blog than the content i.e. very little intelligent analysis of the Candidates.

What an interesting idea. I don't really think it will translate into many votes . . . but a cute idea. Now, if they did a documentary on Hillary's failure to release her tax return . . . THAT would be interesting.

Why are you guys talking like crazy people. If this guys were supporting HRC you guys would be saying nice and good things out here, now there supporting their choice and also a blackman you guys are jealous. Please get a job. Because all recent talks and troubles am supporting Obama.Shame on u all.
Obama 08 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DAMON AND AFFLECK—–IS THAT ALL THEY GOT ?? MOVEON.ORG IS FOR ALL THE PUNKS THAT HAVE AN OPINION AND NEVER SHOW UP AT THE POLLS. I WONDER————WILL THERE BE ANY S-U-B-S-T-A-N-C-E—IN THIS 30 SEC. AD, OR JUST MORE OF THE SAME RHETORIC. —-OH OBAMA , YOU ARE SO, SO , INSPIRING.———YOU SOUND MORE AND MORE LIKE MR. KING (MARTIN LUTHER). —–OH GEE WHIZZ MR. AXELROD——OH MY—–I BET THAT SOUNDS RACIST —-GET USED TO IT GO GO GO GO ——–HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good timing Ben. Obama is going to get crushed in Pennsylvania. Hard to believe considering he's so popular with moveon.org. It's too bad Pennsylvania is not a caucus. Obama seems to do better when there is disorganization and not everyone shows up to vote. I'm surprised you won't be in Japan watching the A's beat up on the Red Sox. Go Hillary!

Who cares

HEY CHERYL !! STOP YELLING!!!!

Besides she lost Texas and didn't keep her word AGAIN so who KNOWS what Billary will do she is so confused even SHE doesn't know anymore.

This is just another BIG Pluse for HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!

Affleck and Damon are known to be politically active. It is good they think about well being of the country.

Mona at 6:04 - do you really think it is Obama's idea? You think Obama would have called moveon.org that Jack Nicholson made an ad for Hillary, please find me s ome celebrities who will do the same for me. Get your head out of …and smell the air. There is hope.

Hillary saids she won the big state's and the most electioral vote's.but any Dem that run will win thoses states. But the states that Obama won she can't win, so ask her can she win without the vote he has won.

They're not Superdelgates, but they're pretty super. Good, smart guys who can bring their celebrity to bear. The "white guys" are coming out for Obama (please note my mock surprize).

This is an appeal to Hillary supporters. She deserves her recognition for her public service. Nobody wants to take that away from her. But, objectively, Obama has cast a bigger net and garnered broader support (including white males - Iowa/Wyoming…Texas). At some point, give him a chance. It is time for the Party to come together.

Wow! Morons from hollywood who play dress up and make believe
are giving advice on who to vote for? The democats agenda is gay marriage,late term abortion for whoever wants it and amnesty to all criminals and illegals in the country and lets blame the Repulicans for all our problems.Now I know why women were not allowed to vote.By and large they are the true morons who support those agendas.t

20,000 in video equipment? Sounds like payola for endorsing obama. Is that legal? Even if it isn't how can Sen. Obama allow this to happen after he protested so loudly when a 527 just ran ads for John Edwards, with no prize? Change we can believe. Yeah. Right.

CNN Please post this for a change.

How can Obama insult the competence of the Bush administration and how Brown handled Katrina when he wasn't even smart enough to put his name on the ballot in Michigan. More of the same incompetence if you ask me. How's damen and Afleck gonna tell us more about that?

Puzzling to see Obama being blamed for what other people are conjuring up. Obama doesn't have the power to censure anyone who endeavors to show their support for his candidacy.

Whatever about Afleck and Damon. It may attract some more young voters but doubtful, it's his base anyway.
As far as this whole race/gender thing goes… it's sad that it's perpetuated in the Media so much. I'm convinced that the Media is not smart enough to reiterate the candidates' stances on issues and must resort to such simpleminded discourse. It would actually be more helpful to the viewing public if they did reinform the public about their issues of real American concerns.

mona- first of all, obama has no part in this. second of all, obama's supporters came out with the first video a few months ago, long before nicholson and reiner. get your facts straight before criticizing this man.

From Oprah to Afflack to Damen. Frankly, NObama would probably make more money being a celebrity (am not saying he isn't one already) than a president…. minus power to bomb Pakistan, of course.

NObama 08!

Damon, Affleck, Oliver Stone and John Legend are JUDGES in a video/film contest - nothing to do with the Obama campaign. Hillary can't win - that's why she's resorting to mud-slinging. Obama inspires people - Hillary divides people. GOBAMA!!

Damon and Affleck - Good will hunting Hillary !

To Mona and Cheryl :

Do you not see that the Clinton's are the sleazy, lying, race batting
dirty deceivers of the Carl Rove/Nixonion ilk ?

Do you not have hope in your future ?

Did you read either of Barack Obama's books - I think not !

Please educate yourself and find your way back to believing in character and integrity.

Don't fall for the con team of Billary !

You know in your heart that I am right, don't you !

Vote for a leader with a heart for all the people.

Vote Barack Obama put - Michelle and the kids in the white house.

Obviously Jaysons knowledge of facts is very limited.

I wish Move-on.org would just go away.. They are just as bad as most of the republicans when it comes to telling half the truth. As far as Damon and his twin go.. who cares what actors think, they are so out of touch with the real world that they have no clue what a gallon of milk cost, or how to make a sandwich. Rosie, can you make me a sandwich? thanks Rosie…

It sounds like I have some work ahead of me….Thanks you guys, you will be hearing from me !

America Is Ready
Obama 08

I support Obama, but does anyone really care what these two hollywood stars are doing? Shouldn't there be a big story about all the GENERALS that recently supported Obama? Come on CNN.

I never liked Affleck, but Damon just lost one of his biggest fans.

Buh bye Matt.

For all of the people commenting who fail at reading, this is being sponsored by MoveOn.org, not Obama. Nice try on twisting the facts in an effort to slander Obama though. Seems to be par for the course from the Clinton campaign and its supporters/surrogates.

On a completely separate note, who at CNN is writing these news titles and articles? I notice you like to use words like "slams" a lot. That sort of language seems more fitting for a WWF announcer than it does for objective news articles. Please leave the sensational, anything-to-grab-peoples'-attention adjectives and wording OUT of your news articles and write them the way any RESPONSIBLE news organization should. Objectively. What is this? Fox News?

It is a good thought to encourage people to participate in the advertising industry to expose their hidden talents in that field……but it should help OBAMA as we all wish…not to meant for other parties.

OBAMA 2008…!!!!

If Senator Clinton wins Pennsylvania she will still be in second place and Senator Obama will be prepared for the next primary or caucus like he has been in the past. You see Obama doesn't put all his eggs in one basket. He is prepared. America doesn't need someone who doesn't look forward and consider the consequences of their actions. America needs a person who is going to use sound judgement as well as preparation to move this great country back in the right direction. Senator Obama has shown the qualities of a great leader (patience, intellect, judgement, character, ability to listen and compromise, tranparency, hard work and yes HOPE).

Don't hate Obama '08!

Sometimes I dream of a non-democracy in this country, then the ding bats that put Bush in office twice and the other ones that are actually excited to see the Clintons return to Pennsylvania Avenue would not have a say. The first five comments above me seriously irritate me, in this democracy people seem to vote on name recognition i.e. Bush- Clinton-McCain or out of habit. I mean seriously I was born in 1982 and its been Reagan 2x, Bush 1x, Clinton 2x and Bush 2x. Yikes!!!! What the hell is wrong with this country. Is it really that hard to step out the box and elect a man who has more ELECTED years than Hillary or is there some other reason these fools just cant pull the lever for OBAMA. Things that make you go, hmmmm?

Cheryl, the same thing will happen that happened after Ohio

Obama will win the next 2 states.

She takes one, he takes two.

Two states are better than one.

You'll see in August.

If you……can count.
DrFill

It makes all the sense in the world……….remember that Damon doesn't know who he is…….and Affleck is as brilliant as Gigli!
nough said.

Just do not understand this blind love for Hillary anymore. Her campaign might as well be run by Karl Rove. And if Bubba isn't making mistakes people like Ferraro are race bating (remember her?-most failed Democratic campaign in herstory). If Hil scares the Dem.ocratic Sheeple into voting for her get ready for 4 more years of Bush via Mc Cain. After all of this disparaging of Obama no supporter of his will vote for her. They will just stay home. Politics as usual…pity.

Obama has this election in the bag. Hillary supporters are taking a long trip down denile.

If Obama is good enough for Hollywood, he is certainly good enough for, well, liberals I guess. This is truly investigative journalism at its finest. What a terrific breaking story.

I heard there might be some Michael Jackson news over on Fox (which is why I'm here).

I seem to have got the overall feeling.. The Movie "The Oman…

Has been mentioned here…..

The 1st 5 comments at the time of my comment prove this nation needs some HOPE!

The video contest is nothing but POSITIVE.
All Haters take a nap!

That is very good for obama. Don't hate guys!!

NObama is not going to win the general election.

We need a fighter who is proven and tested.

Go Hillary!!!!!

GOOD STUFF, OBAMA 08… YOUPPIIIIIIIIIII

I wish show business folks would keep their mouth shut about politics. I love these two actors but I am not interested in their politics.

That's the problem with Hillary. She doesn't inspire anyone. She's just like every other old-school politician, with the same tactics and same speeches. She is calculating and not genuine in the eyes of the average voter. Think about it- people thought she got a boost in voting because of a Saturday Night Live skit! It makes her sound like a robot.

She talks about experience but the only Clinton who can speak about presidential experience is Bill. Being the First Lady does NOT prepare you for a presidency. Otherwise, every first lady should be on the ballot because they were in the White House before. And by the way, she didn't do that great of a job as a First Lady. Where is my universal healthcare that you promised me, Hillary? In the end, nothing will change with her or McCain (interesting how they both cheer for each other) because they are the status quo.

Why is CNN not reporting about Obama's "spiritual" mentor of 20 years and the hateful comments he made about Sen. Clinton? Check out FoxNews.com. They are at least biased against all Democrats, not some.
At the beginning of this mess, I was leaning toward voting for Senator Obama. Now, I can't bring myself to do so. Even though he disagrees with what this man says, he still calls him his "spiritual leader." That to me, shows poor judgment. Something he claims that his opponent shows. If Obama thinks that Clinton is running a negative campaign towards him, he has seen nothing yet. Wait for Karl Rove and the Republican machine to get started. They will destroy him, which is actually sad (for him personally and for Democrats). This young, male, college-educated Pennsylvanian will vote for Hillary Clinton on April 22.

"WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN WHEN SENATOR CLINTON WINS PENNSYLVANIA?"

She will wake up in the morning and still be significantly behind in delegates.

I can't believe this campaign is going to go on until Nov. 2009. I am already exhausted.
I agree with Jayson, this is just another commerical to endorse a product.

PRODUCT OBAMA……..BROUGHT TO YOU BY MATT DAMON AND BEN AFFLECK. FORMERLY ENDORSED BY MADISON AVE AND WALL STREET ELITE.

PUPPET OBAMA, MMMM MAKES YAH FEEL SO GOOD AMERICA!

Matt Damon and Ben Affleck sure beat Jack Nicholson…

The old is great, tried and true, can't go wrong with the first Batman or A Few Good Men… but this is a new age. The elderly in this nation need to stop being selfish and think about their children's futures.

**********************Hillary Presidente***********************

GO!

CNN: ?

Why are people trying to say that somehow Obama is "copying" Clinton on this? He has nothing to do with it, its an independent project.

Obama is the only candidate who is trying to get rid of the "fear-mongering" that Washington has relied on to get us to fall in line. I, for one, am tired of politicians trying to play off of my fear to get through their ridiculous agendas.

Obama '08!

Mona your funny. Actually Obama have had many more Videos made from Hollywood before Jack Nichoson. If anything Clinton is trying to copy Obama's lead. If you don't believe me go look at the "Yes we can" video and others made. I can always bring up Obama girl and then came Clinton girl…..

Anyways I rather see Clintons Earmarks that reach in the 300 thousands, and see how much more un trustworthy the clintons are.

I am so bored and tired of this whole presidential race. It's like watching a 100 round match with all of the candidates exhausted. I think everyone should just shut up until pennsylvania. I am just sick and tired of all of this. These primaries should be held all on the same day just like the regular elections. All I know is that if McCain wins i am leaving this country.

I used to be impressed by Affleck's grasp on politics. How he can possibly endorse Obama over Hillary is beyond me. It's like choosing to pour water over your cereal rather than cream. Weak! Weak! Weak!

"Obama xeroxing again after Rob Reiner and Jack Nicholson video.
Gosh, does the guy have an original though or what?"

Did you not read that this is the third time that MoveOn.Org (Not Obama) has done this? And before there was Jack Nicholson, there was the "Yes We Can" video, so it's your girl's supporters that are taking ideas.

He takes a licking and he keeps on Ticking! Hollywood support is not just your sterotypical "Hollywood Support" made up of Fictional Characters and Cartoons. but this support is coming from real Human beings Supporting someone they Believe in, wether you see them in the public eye more often than not, does'nt matter!!!!!… They still have a creative voice and it should be heard!!!!! Ben Affleck and Matt Damon Welcome Aboard!!!!!!!!!!!

GO OBAMA!
Lets "BARACK DA' VOTE" 08

This idea and this endorsement WILL NOT MAKE ONE BIT OF DIFFERENCE…. The union endorsements, celebrity endorsements, and songs have already failed! This idea IS NOT any different! It's just another commercial among many!

Hillary WILL WIN Pennsylavania and she will win the Presidency! NO DOUBT ABOUT IT!

If not Hillary, then McCain!

YES WE WILL!

YES WE WILL!

Hillary 08′ 12′

"Does CNN really think that the average American cares who the various celebrities in Holywood are supporting?"

Yes, they do.

The Xerox line is so ba dump bump ding corny. Plus Will.I.Am's Yes We Can Video was done before Jack Nicholson decided to put his two cents in…and I actually find his add quite disturbing.

I want all the Clintonites to answer one question: when will we see Hillary’s unedited schedule for her time as first lady, in order to make possible evaluation of her claim of relevant experience based on that period?

What experience???!!!

Go Obama!

Well, depends on what they come out with.
But yea, I agree Hollywood for Obama is not his best bumper sticker.

Great move by hollywood, but Obama already have this election locked up. Election are always run from the front which is the position of Obama. Remember in 2000 when ballots were counted several times in Florida, and Bush 300+ vote count did not change. I once had a lot of respect for Hillary, but after watching her performance in this election, I have lost all respect for her. If she should ever win the nomination, say hello to four more years of Bush. She is as low as one can get.

Peace

I cannot say that I'm a huge Affleck or Damon fan.

But Clinton supporters - wake up!! Do you really think that independents and Republicans are going to cross the line to vote for Hillary (against McCain)??? Wow - now I know why Hillary polls so well among people without college educations.

To Cheryl: The same thing that happened after Ohio, Obama will still lead in delegates and the popular vote. Your point?

To Mona: Senator Obama ate breakfast this morning AFTER Hillary Clinton had already eaten!!! Your point? P.S. The word is thought, you should try it sometimes.

Affleck and Damon? What do they know about politics? My suggestion….. please just stay with your acting….But they probably want a position in the white house!!!

1. Clinton - President
2. Edwards - Vice President

100000. Obama - Motivational Speaker

I'd like to know why supporters of Hillary are so incredibly immature. I haven't seen an intelligent comment from them in weeks.

This has nothing to do with Hollywood.. it's about Moveon.org's endorsement and ad contest. Pay attention people.

LOL…..don't hate on Obama….. and please do spell check before you post your comment

WOLF, I TEL YOU MY BROTHER YOU REALLY NEED TO WHATCH OUT ON THE WORDS YOU CHOSE TO TALK ABOUT OBAMA. YOU DON'T WANT YOUR LANGUAGE TO SEEM LIKE YOU LEAN IN ONE SIDE. AS SOMEONE WHO HAS DONE THIS FOR YEARS , I KNOW YOU CAN DO A BETTER JOD AT REPORTING NEWS IN A BALANCED WAY .AND TAKE NOTE ,IT'S ALL ABOUT YOUR CHOICE OF WORDS.

That's the problem with Obama's supporters
This is NOT American Idol

I'm so ashamed I used to be a member for moveon.org.

Talk about divisive. Shoudn't they support BOTH Democratic candidates? If Hillary wins the nomination, will they reject and denounce her? No. So their fauning over Obama is just simply disgusting.

For all of you Obama haters, it is so obvious that you all continue to want to live in that very small world of yours. It resonates in your comments, the world has changed and is changing and for the most part people are afraid of change. Why is it that Obama has to be "xeroxing" or "celebrities don't matter"? When Geraldine, said she was attacked by Obama's campaign all of you Obama haters agreed, and stuck to her venom laced rhetoric. Obama didn't attack her, and he never said that she was racist, his campaign mgr. David Axelrod did and, last I checked he was white. When the haters said he was unqualified no one said it was racist. When the haters said he wasn't ready to answer the phone; no one said it was racist. Geraldine interjected race………. Billary and no one else thought that this half White half Black man with the unusual name would be here where he is today. This is what brought the "kitchen sink". And you haters loved it because you didn't expect it either.
Had Ben and Damon done this for Billary then you haters would have praised them, hypocrisy is just as bad as anything else, that was thrown in with "Billary's kitchen

Taxes under Clinton Bush

Both dems say they will repeal the Bush cuts and a good portion of the people in the above categories can't wait for it to happen.
"you scam somebody out of money and they don't even know what happened". The sting.

wow dude that is goin to be cool i want to see the winning video

big deal what a surprise the ultra liberal movement endorses obama . The center and left of center wing of the party endorses clinton . moveon.org should do just that moveon into the sunset with kennedy and kerri and know obama three losers

Before the demigogs start in on this…

Obahma and Hillary do not control everyone who supports them or speaks on behalf of their candidacy.

MoveOn.org marches to its own drum so pointing at one candidate or another and saying AHA!!! SEE!!!! Means nothing in this and many other cases.

Democrats posting here attacking Hillary or Obama and calling them desperate or liars etc… are only shooting the party they represent in the foot. BOTH of them are excelent candidates, smart, charismatic, dedicated, and commited to public service. Try not to forget that when you go into cheerleader/pitbull mode.

I support Obama for a number of reasons and I have issues with some of Hillary's policies. But the kinds of mindless attacks I see in these comment sections saddens me. I don't want to be seen in the same camp as anyone who simply spouts attack slogans and doesn't look to the real human issues involved.

You don't have to hate in order to oppose and you don't need to scream to be heard.

What is going to Happen when Hillary wins Pennsylvania you ask?

Hillary supporters will claim it means the campaign has turned a corner again, and then, once again, Obama will go on to win the next several states.

And this matters how? Yeah, right, like I'm gonna listen to what an ACTOR tells. How would I know they weren't paid to "act"? Get real, come up with something important to tell us. Like, what are you going to do to improve our economy, improve education, reduce costs for advanced degrees, clean our air, reduce oil prices, get us out of Iraq, stimulate "green" resources, ELIMINATE NUCLEAR POWER; just to name a few. Well, what are you going to do?????????

I wonder if Ben and Matt heard Pastor Jeremiah Wright Controversial Remarks? before they back Obama they should look into this. Fox News reported this last night. It seems like no NEWS channel has the balls to report on this,Since Obama Campaign is going to scream race. also I am sure CNN is not going to post this.

Do I understand this right: are we supposed to be impressed with these guys?

I agree with Long-term Memory. I am not sufficiently impressed with Hollywood to take their advice on who to vote for. Still not sure which is the best of the two, and I won't find out this way.

Please read the article before responding.

It was not about the support of Damen & Affleck, but about a project created by MoveOn.org–an organization with 3.2 million members which backs Senator Obama. MoveOn is asking its members to create a 30-second video. Senator Obama is not even involved in this. So comments such as "Obama sure is bringing out the braintrust," or "Obama [is] zeroxing" just show that the readers did not read the article, or are unwilling (incapable?) or reading with comprehension.

jayson observed: "the rich have the ability and the mobility to go elsewhere…"

good riddance. if they don't want to be americans, they can leave today.

Nothing will happen when Clinton wins Pennsylvania.

She is so far behind in delegates she has no mathematical hope of winning.

The only reason she is in the race at this point is to help John McCain, since he is way too old to go for two terms. Electing McCain gives Hillary another shot in 2012 but if Obama wins there won't be an opening until 2016 and by that time she'll be too old herself.

DL -
Where does it say that Obama "brought in Damon and Affleck"? Perhaps they are supporters of him who actually believe he will make a great president and decided to do this on their own. They are adults, you know.

If Hollywood cared about America, they wouldn't be adopting foriegn children, or building foriegn schools, or standing around with thier clout for 8 yrs while this country has been suffering.

They are puppets, these over-paid actors are doing just that- acting.

There is only one candidate who will end the war before 2013, there is only one candidate who understands the economy, there is only one candidate who will lower taxes, there is only one candidtate who will restore our prestige in the world.

And the MSM didn't pick him…

Ron Paul is telling the truth- you have to just listen.

Well, I don't think that it is going to help. People have already made up their mind. Unfortunately, Hillary is behind in the delegate count. Even if she wins Pennsylvania, she will stil be to far behind. Barak seems to be ahead in all of the other up coming contests. even if she is 10 points ahead of him in Penn. She will only gain 18 delegates. The pledged delegate count will be 1474 to 1330. This is a 145 delegate deficit. He then gains it back in Indian and North Carolina on May 6th. I understand her will to survive and fight. I think for the democratic party, it will not be a good thing for her to continue. I just don' t want to be stuck with John McCain who I feel needs to retire. Maybe that's what the republicans want. and that is to move him to the top and when he loses, he will no longer be in politics.

My understanding is that the intent of this project is to send a message to the people of the United States created by the people of the United States, not the campaign advisors….seems like a novel concept.. It would be a nice change to see a positive message.

Jack's video was funny. I don't think Ben and Matt combined have near the charisma of one Jack Nicholson.

Funny thing is that many Americans do care about who celebrities
endorse, like it or not. Thats our culture, good or bad. Democrats have Afflect, Damen, Reiner and Nickleson: Repubs have Chuck Norris.
Dennis Miller and some lessor lights. And so it goes.

A great Democratic ticket for the fall will be Obama and Richardson.

I think this is more about the video idea–showing that not everyone's just caught up in the hype, even the stars.

Matt and Ben good luck I will never go to another of your movies.

mona -

Obama is not "xeroxing" anything! Celebrities starting making videos for him first! So get your facts right before making false statements!

Jack Nicholson made his little video like about two weeks ago, and it was only because Bill Clinton called him and asked him to do it…you can check out his interview at mtv.com.

I will never watch another Damon or Affleck movie.

I thought they had more sense than this.

I can't give up Oprah, couldn't stand her to begin with.

Just imaginge how outraged Hillary would be if Barack Obama had virtually no chance to catch her in pledged delegates or the popular vote, but was claiming that if he could make it close, he could call that a victory. Just imagine the pressure CNN would be bringing down on Obama to drop out. But with Hillary, CNN and the rest of the press are breathlessly cheering her on each night as she falls further and further behind in the delegate count; buying her inane "Big State" strategy hook, line and sinker. Just look how she is LOSING all of the democratic strongholds in every state (except new york), even in the "big states" she is winning: Houston (60-40), Dallas (60-40), Austin (65-35), Cleveland, Cincinnati, Columbus, San Francisco, D.C… it is a very impressive list and I have just named a few here in her most crucial "wins". She is not carrying the Democratic strongholds in the big states she is carrying, so her argumant that she is the only one who can carry these states is pure crap.
The only thing more unbelievable than the whoppers Hillary and Bill spin is how the press falls for it every time and reprints it as if it has any merit. You don't do your homework or any analysis and just write down what each campaign spins as if it is true. Thanks to that position the media takes, it looks less like unbiased mediators and more like pigs happy to roll over in the mud.

Cheryl, to your question as to what will happen when Clinton wins Pennsylvania, I have your answer:

If she wins Pennsylvania (what will that make, 3 states she's won?), then she will pick up a few delegates. In Pennsylvania, she won't have the benefit of Republicans voting for her as she did in Texas (where she recorded an overall loss). So if she does win, she will pick up a few delegates, and yet another state will be ticked off.

She needs an OVERWHELMING majority of the rest of the votes in order to win the nomination, so what will happen is, Clinton will continue her Rovian campaign, but will still lose. The end.

If someone votes for the President because Jason Bourne and Daredevil tells them too, then we are in worse trouble than I thought. The enthusiasm of people about this project is…whats the word…pathetic.

Clinton supporters didn't have a problem with old Jack Nicholson doing a commercial so why so heated over Matt & Ben? I'll tell you why. Because you're unhappy about being on the WRONG SIDE of the fight!

Sen. Obama has won more states, more delegates and more votes than Sen. Clinton. That's not spin or a lie. It's FACT. He is in NO way arrogant like Clinton supporters have said. He is not a racist, nor a liar, nor a cheat, nor any of the hateful names people have called him. If you ask ANY person in office today, they will each tell you that he is a highly respected Senator, across the aisles. He works with everyone, and gets along with everyone, not just Democrats. He is well liked, personally and professionally. The things said about him by people who have never met him or haven't bothered to research him, is astonishing. We all know Sen. Clinton and former President Bill Clinton, so we all know (or should know) the history of this couple. The things they were accused of (and I voted for Bill TWICE), it turns out, were all true. They just couldn't make the charges stick because of the thick layer of politics in Washington. The stuff was true, every story, every accusation, and every indictment or government investigation. True. All true. I didn't decide on Obama until I looked up his policies and accomplishments. HE HAS A LOT OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS; VERY, VERY IMPRESSIVE ACCOMPLISHMENTS. Please seek and you shall find.

Now I am not going to bash Clinton supporters because they are all fellow Democrats. I thought I was going to be a supporter until I learned of Obama. I loved what he had to say, then I researched him. I read the good, bad and ugly. I still liked what I saw. It's similar to when you first meet someone and you get this feeling deep down that the person has a good spirit; a good heart. Then to find out from people you respect that he actually does have a good spirit and a good hear. Equipped with what I heard, what I saw, and what I researched, I made my decision in favor of Sen. Obama. The Clintons past did come into my mind, and the hours and hours of drama on the evening news, and morning news, and noon news. It was just everywhere, permeating the airwaves, and it was filthy, and ugly, and vile. I decided against it, and I definitely didn't feel up to defending that mess. I've never been an "enabler" for anyone, and refuse to start now.

This race is so ugly and we should ALL try to keep it civil, and keep the ugliness down to a whisper. I mean, everything that we say will be used against either one of the Democratic candidates, and the media isn't on our side.

I am in support of Sen. Obama's policies, not just his speeches (which are moving, no doubt). But I see much more in his character and integrity, not to mention his obvious intelligence. Take the initiative and take a peek at his state legislature accomplishments. They tell a world of stories of good for people, all across the spectrum, covering all kinds of issues. His earmarks, released today on his website, are also telling. Please just take a moment and look (nobody has to know that you went over to his site to learn about the man) to see for yourself what he has done for his state, then go to the Library of Congress website and look up both senators and compare their work. Sen. Obama has over 870 some different bills and/or resolutions since becoming a Senator. That's how you can make an informed decision on who would work the hardest for us. Find out the truth, not the spin, and I'm talking about both candidates' websites. I'm not saying that either is lying or spinning on their site, but I am saying to check out a website that is not affiliated with them.

Please be open about these Democratic primaries, and please try to be kinder to your fellow Democrats. We will need each other to win back the White House. McCain has promised to keep things just as they are and that's not a good picture in my mind. We are currently in a serious recession (depression even), and the White House has yet to call it what it is. McCain is lockstep w
