The actress and activist officially endorsed Clinton Friday.
The actress and activist officially endorsed Clinton Friday.

(CNN) - Actress Elizabeth Taylor urged voters in next week’s Democratic primaries to back Hillary Clinton's White House run, saying in a statement released Friday that the New York senator was “not a flibbertijibbet.”

“It would be magnificent for our country if Senator Clinton won the votes, hearts and minds of the people in Indiana and North Carolina on Tuesday. She’s a brilliant teacher and powerful leader. We all know what she’s about. We know what she isn’t. Senator Clinton is not a flibbertijibbet [sic]. She’s strong,” said Taylor.

“It’s also important for great leaders to have a sense of humor about themselves. The future of our great country rests in the hands of the next president. Who sits in the Oval Office will be determined greatly by the citizens of Indiana and North Carolina. In my heart, I know they will choose wisely and they will choose well.”

The actress and activist is a longtime Clinton supporter who has donated the legal maximum of $4,600 to the senator’s campaign.

In January 2007, Taylor also pointed to Clinton’s toughness as the reason she was contributing to her presidential bid. "I have contributed to Sen. Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign because she has a mind of her own and a very strong one at that," Taylor she said in a statement then. "I like the way she thinks. She is very savvy and a smart leader with years of experience in government, diplomacy and politics."

Tim Pare   May 2nd, 2008 8:28 pm ET

Spaeaking from a more removed perspective from up here in Vancouver, Canada, I am stunned that voters aren't fully backing Barrack Obama....One has rarely seen a politician with more integrity, honesty and genune concern for the average person....I can't believe that he may not make it to the White House....WAKE UP AMERICA and don't let this opportunity slip through your hands!

Phil-Little Rock   May 2nd, 2008 8:27 pm ET

This coming from a woman who's seen more pricks than a second-hand dart board. Flibberjibbet? Is that a word she learned from her best friend Michael Jackson? Was that the Sesame Street word of the day?

Go away Liz. And take that musty perfume of yours with you.

Terri in ARKANSAS   May 2nd, 2008 8:27 pm ET

I will vote for HILLARY if HILLARY is not on the ticket I will vote against OBAMA and go with MCCAIN.

OBAMA is not even on the list

Patrick U   May 2nd, 2008 8:26 pm ET

SHE CARRIES NO VOICE. SHE IS NOT IMPORTANT AT ALL WHEN IT COMES TO POLITICS. END OF STORY.

josie   May 2nd, 2008 8:26 pm ET

elizabeth was very right.

Brian   May 2nd, 2008 8:26 pm ET

Thanks for helping to prolong the inevitable. Math must not be her strong point.

lookyhere   May 2nd, 2008 8:26 pm ET

Wow, this is a real winner for Hillary. She should really feel good about her chances now. Flibberjibbett??? Uh...yeah....

NC Dem   May 2nd, 2008 8:26 pm ET

oh,please another senior citizen for hillary

sing a song   May 2nd, 2008 8:23 pm ET

celeb endorsements mean nothing, but I respect Ms Taylors long standing of supporting Aids research and victims.

Still I love hillary and anyone who supports her...

Jessica, GA   May 2nd, 2008 8:22 pm ET

Ok

Clinton/McCain 08....The real dream team! :(

Bobby tray   May 2nd, 2008 8:22 pm ET

and we should care about her comments why?

Rick   May 2nd, 2008 8:22 pm ET

Who cares what Liz Taylor, or any of the out of touch hollywood socialites thinks? Liz should go back to helping Michael Jackson. That is more up her alley, as they are both in show business...

WhatHasCNNBecome?   May 2nd, 2008 8:21 pm ET

Elizabeth Taylor, really? If I want the news I'll turn to the daily show, at least they admit how ridiculous the news is. CNN you have seriously disappointed me in the past few weeks, your reporting is manipulative and self-serving. Please reaffirm your values and report the news not flibbertyjibbet!

Mike in Houston   May 2nd, 2008 8:21 pm ET

An endorsement from nobody.

RufusVonDufus   May 2nd, 2008 8:20 pm ET

Who seriously cares what an old shriveled up former actress who got ahead by doing who knows what for producers and directors thinks. An old has been, just like Hillary. Too funny!

Del   May 2nd, 2008 8:19 pm ET

Hmmm...and WHY is her opinion on the candidates news worthy? OH I get it, she appeals to a certain segment of the population who need to be told who to vote for.

joaquin   May 2nd, 2008 8:19 pm ET

Oh come on CNN. Is this a newsworthy endorsement? The woman is just a campaign contributor. So what. Is she a super delegate?
This is the same Elizabeth Taylor that was married to Republican Senator John Warner. I have thought for awhile now that Hillary is acting more and more like a Republican in her campaign tactics. I forget she was ever a Democrat. This reinforces my sense of Clinton as Republican. Why doesn't she just change parties. Then her continuous Obama bashing would make sense.

Del   May 2nd, 2008 8:18 pm ET

Elizabeth Taylor! If you like the way Clinton thinks, then you probably are the only one left in the U.S who does not see Clinton's poor judgments from when she voted for the Iraq war.

hsl   May 2nd, 2008 8:18 pm ET

I like Elizabeth Taylor's insight!

Go Senator Clinton!

Tammy   May 2nd, 2008 8:18 pm ET

And we would take her advice why? How many times has she been married? Yep, that's someone I'd listen to.. NOT!!!

Esoxslayer   May 2nd, 2008 8:18 pm ET

She is also Michael Jackson's closest friend. Go figure.

Jenny   May 2nd, 2008 8:16 pm ET

Sorry Liz, you may know perfume, acting and diamonds, but you never picked the correct husband, who thinks she can pick the correct candidate????

Anonymous   May 2nd, 2008 8:16 pm ET

I live in North Carolina and have received 2 phone calls urging me to vote for Hillary Clinton. Is this legal?

Paul   May 2nd, 2008 8:12 pm ET

Who cares what Liz says anyway. Holleywood is dead and it should be with the literal crap they put out nowadays.

lol   May 2nd, 2008 8:12 pm ET

thank you elizabeth, you are so right about hillary!

sand   May 2nd, 2008 8:11 pm ET

That wonderful...Thank you !! Elizabeth Taylor is loved and respected..thank you for your support. GO HILLARY

Robert Corya   May 2nd, 2008 8:11 pm ET

Ms. Taylor and I are almost the same age, and I've loved her for decades, even carrying a Life Magazine cover pix of her during my active duty Navy days. in the early '50s. But she knows all this.–RC

Jackson   May 2nd, 2008 8:11 pm ET

I love Elizabeth Taylor ... and I agree with her 100%.

MCD   May 2nd, 2008 8:10 pm ET

Yeah, because ol Liz is really in touch with what this country needs.

Great article over at the Huggington post about the media hit that has been pulled out of the GOP playbook and slapped on Obama.

Mike From Texas   May 2nd, 2008 8:09 pm ET

When do we stop worrying about the thoughts of celebs? She lost her relevance years ago. Kind of funny how y'all slipped in that she "weighs in". Freudian slip?

Herman in LA   May 2nd, 2008 8:09 pm ET

She need to go and find all of the men that has left out of her life.

Red   May 2nd, 2008 8:08 pm ET

Okay, if Liz told me to give money to AMFAR, or to take an HIV test, I'm all for it. That's her area of expertise.

AND WE ALL KNOW THAT ELIZABETH TAYLOR KNOWS A LOT ABOUT GOOD JUDGMENT ! HOW MANY MARRIAGES????

Joy   May 2nd, 2008 8:02 pm ET

Not much of an endorsement coming from Liz. In her younger days she had the morals of a cat.

some guy   May 2nd, 2008 8:02 pm ET

instead of "winning the votes" how about earning the votes.

Obama earned mine.

Yes We Can!

Cody S. - Montgomery, AL   May 2nd, 2008 7:59 pm ET

Well add one more superdelegate vote for Clin... wait.

What?

Elizabeth Taylor isn't a superdelegate?

Ron   May 2nd, 2008 7:59 pm ET

I love Elizabeth But unfortunatly alot of young people are probably saying who the hell is she so I doubt she will make much difference.But I am encouraged by the endorsement Way to go cleopatra

Sly in Seattle   May 2nd, 2008 7:58 pm ET

Clearly Elizabeth Taylor is a dummy too... that's why she is an actress, not a politician.

No Hillary   May 2nd, 2008 7:58 pm ET

Sorry Oldtimer.... can't endorse your favoritte person... it is time for a new era in the US politic, it is time for CHANGE.... No to old style politic...

Regular Voter   May 2nd, 2008 7:55 pm ET

Why do famous people think that they should have more say who is nominated than regular Joes? Aren't our votes worth just as much as theirs? Why doesn't CNN do a special about who I am supporting and encourage people to follow my example?

billylee8   May 2nd, 2008 7:54 pm ET

Do you really want to listen to people who use words like "flibbertijibbet?"

Obama '08.

IHH   May 2nd, 2008 7:53 pm ET

Was she hooped up on pills and booze when she said this? I thought she was already dead.

D   May 2nd, 2008 7:53 pm ET

Big surprise – one old hag endorses another old hag.

Y   May 2nd, 2008 7:53 pm ET

I wouldn't look to Elizabeth for advise. She does not have the best judgment. She can't choose a husband much less for a President.

Obama 4 Our Future!   May 2nd, 2008 7:44 pm ET

If Liz is supporting Hillary she either has her skin pulled too tight around her brain or she has to be senile!

Billary will be the final blow to destroy this country if she gets elected!

meadowlands   May 2nd, 2008 7:41 pm ET

Who cares what Liz Taylor has to say. She is in Never Never Land with Michael Jackson half the time.

Dan (Kirkland, WA)   May 2nd, 2008 7:41 pm ET

Wow, what an impressive endorsement! "Flibbertijibbet"???

I would like to officially change my support from Barack Obama to Hillary Clinton due to this endorsement... NOT

What a joke.

Boy there's a heavy weight endorsement ! Jes ,this democrat thing has gotten LOONEY !

Julio   May 2nd, 2008 7:40 pm ET

SHE IS STILL ALIVE!!!!!!!

Pamela in Maryland   May 2nd, 2008 7:34 pm ET

The best CNN can do is to post an endorsement from a woman who has been married more times than she's probably ever voted? At least have an article dedicated to the weirdo has beensnthat are endorsing Obama.

Thomas in Florida   May 2nd, 2008 7:31 pm ET

Thank GOD!!! I was worried we would never find out who this old, alcoholic, violent, crazy, actress would vote for.

Now I'm sold. I'm switching my vote to HRC. Thanks for showing me the light Liz.

Good grief.

Do people even pay attention to Liz anymore? Shouldn't she be busy marrying another creepy guy?

GoHillary   May 2nd, 2008 7:30 pm ET

Obama is just a puppet for the bitter ex Clinton campaign managers. How is he going to deliver CHANGE with that lot pulling his strings?

The only one who is fresh and offers real change is Hillary Clinton.

alu   May 2nd, 2008 7:29 pm ET

you think white house is retirement viilage?

DT   May 2nd, 2008 7:29 pm ET

Why should I listen to an actress on who to vote for, let alone one who doesn't even understand the concept that marriage is a lifelong commitment?

She sounds like a good Clinton supporter –she understands the value of honest, committed relationships about as well as Clinton does; which is to say, not at all.

ShirleyY - Seattle   May 2nd, 2008 7:28 pm ET

TELL ELIZABETH TAYLOR TO GO GET ANOTHER FACE LIFT AND FIND HER 20TH HUSBAND AND SHUT UP. ELIZABETH IS OLD AND ALL HER FACIAL SURGERIES GOT HER DEAF AND DUMB.

This is just a desperate attempt by Hillary to get more people in her camp. Taylor's statement "she has a mind of her own and a very strong one at that" is nonsense, Hillary is a manipulative phoney!!

Deann   May 2nd, 2008 7:28 pm ET

Smart people will endorse the smart leader to be the USA presidnent.

Go Hillary!

DeJuan   May 2nd, 2008 7:27 pm ET

I am not trying to joke or make some thin-veiled attack, but I honestly thought that this woman was dead. I am glad that she is not, but her endorsement probably won't be enough to keep Clinton's candidacy alive.

This lady is crazy. You should see the clip that "Talk Soup" run every now and again. I crack up everytime. This lady also thinks Michael Jackson is a good person.

Has been , just like Clinton. Who cares?

lou   May 2nd, 2008 7:27 pm ET

one liar for another. how many times did this woman say "i do" Put the meds down Liz . Aren't you also the person who stuck up for Michael Jackson...What an endorsement. Who cares what this woman says?

KE   May 2nd, 2008 7:27 pm ET

"I have contributed to Sen. Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign because she has a mind of her own and a very strong one at that,"

And Hillary's supporter has a mind of their own as well.

I read somewhere some people complaining that Hillary never would be here today if she wasn't married to the president. That is so very wrong people. People are in their place not because of one single decision they've made but the series of decisions they've made throughout their entire life.

Hillary is here becasue of her own decison.

Go, Hillary!

Joseph, Los Angeles California   May 2nd, 2008 7:25 pm ET

I take it that Miss Liz never heard about Hillary's Clinton's rage about the white southern voters who became Reagan Democrats. When the Clintons were upset about the their congressional lost when Bill was president, the then first lady took a less than inclusive approach about the southern voters. She said; "Screw 'em," Bill, you don't owe them a thing. "They're doing nothing for you and you don't have to do anything for them!" See a book by Benjamin Barber called "Truth of Power:" Intelligence Affairs in The Clinton White House.

obomom   May 2nd, 2008 7:25 pm ET

Please..............is this the only superdelegate you can talk about for Clinton! The Clinton News Network does it again.

A.M.   May 2nd, 2008 7:25 pm ET

Oh! My. 'ElizabethTaylor' endorsed Hillary Clinton..WOW...how lucky 'Hillary Clinton' is...wow...wow...wow.

Hillary enjoy her endorsement which is probabaly worth no more than a 'DIME'.

Liz you are friends with Michael Jackson...you are no judge of character.

I'm not so sure this is such a good thing to have in the Clinton camp. How many husbands did she have? Like 8?

An old white lady supported another one. Race, Gender, and Age cards in play.

sorry elizabeth we will not support a woman whovoted on a war for oil......who lost many lives on a wrong vote......can we get te liv back NO...she sent the jobs away and lied about it.....Hillary will do anything for votes and money....she cares nothing for the people ,only for what she needs and wants..wether she kiss you or lie......s have them fooled......

Dal   May 2nd, 2008 7:23 pm ET

Is ET a super delegate?
May be Liz wants something in return for this endorsement. What is it Liz?

If Taylor thinks I shud vote for Hillary- here my vote for Hillary..:-))

Rick   May 2nd, 2008 7:22 pm ET

I'm sorry but who cares who Liz Taylor supports? She is not a Super Delegate, nor a former public servant. This is a much news as Bruce Springsteen supporting Obama. It must be a slow news day on the campaign front.

Former Clinton Supporter   May 2nd, 2008 7:21 pm ET

Well, they certainly have one thing in common – Failed Marriages!

Linda   May 2nd, 2008 7:21 pm ET

OMG – I just read up about Larry Sinclair and Obama – O_O

Chris in Va.   May 2nd, 2008 7:21 pm ET

Flibbertijibbet? I guess in the land of booze and prescription drugs this means something?

Also to CNN, This is newsworthy? And Paul vs. Clinton or Hillary's "screw 'em" comments are not? SAD.

Laura   May 2nd, 2008 7:21 pm ET

In 2001 President Clinton awarded Elizabeth Taylor with the Presidential Citizen's medal, but I'm sure that had nothing to do with Liz's support of Hillary. Nah...

Yeah, right.

Jonathan Grieder   May 2nd, 2008 7:20 pm ET

Well if Liz Taylor says so I'm changing my vote from Senator Obama to Senator Clinton. Why does CNN think anyone cares about what Ms. Taylor has to say about this election. Great she has an opinion, but since she's not a super and her state has already gone too bad so sad she doens't matter.

dgTN   May 2nd, 2008 7:20 pm ET

Eliz, you are right. She is smart but crooked

Sick and Tired   May 2nd, 2008 7:20 pm ET

Sorry Lizzie, I adore you but like so many of our octogenarians, your totally wrong on this one. Time to listen to our young better educated voters. Sense of humor is nice but the WH needs integrity, character, honor and we can't get any of these with your candidate. This is a fact, don't make me list all of her lies here and now theres the Peter Paul scandal being placed on hold until AFTER the nomination? I don't know...she can't be trusted. Think again Lizzie and join the majority who want real change in Washington. We want and support Barack Obama for 8/12 and we've got room for ya!

TC   May 2nd, 2008 7:20 pm ET

So basically she is saying Clinton is not an over talkative Dissociative Identity Disordered demon.

Yeah..ok...whatever you say Liz. I beg to differ.

If Senator Obama does not get the nomination ... we will all be in deep cow patties.

Ron L   May 2nd, 2008 7:20 pm ET

TWO COMMENTS...

SO WHAT!!!

WHO CARES???

Derek in Seattle   May 2nd, 2008 7:20 pm ET

She looks like she died and no one told her.

Thanks for your two cents, Liz! Time to lie down now.

Vanessa   May 2nd, 2008 7:19 pm ET

Either she's misusing the word flibbertigibbet or she's endorsing the wrong candidate. For all the seniors out there that find Elizabeth Taylor still relevant, a flibbertigibbet is basically a chatty gossip. The only candidate spreading gossip in this election is Hillary Clinton (a.k.a Tracy Flick).

bessie   May 2nd, 2008 7:19 pm ET

I totally agree with Taylor. We've known Hillary since she's in the public eye for many years and there will be no surprised. Hillary is intelligent, strong and she is a fighter and will fight for us. Hillary is the one with solutions and can help fix our economy, our country. Even Elizabeth Edwards has recently endorsed Hillary's Universal Healthcare Plan. Voters in Indiana and North Carolina, vote for Hillary!

NLS   May 2nd, 2008 7:18 pm ET

Wow! Super! You go girl! I'm going to vote for HRC!

(Not.)

Theresa   May 2nd, 2008 7:18 pm ET

I agree with Ms Taylor...if Mrs. Clinton doesn't get the Nomination....she should run as an independent

Crazy People support Hillary Clinton.

I'm so glad she's supporting Hillary, but I had to look up the word "flibbertijibbet.”

Mary Can.   May 2nd, 2008 7:17 pm ET

I like you Elizabeth, but I think you missed something. Do you ever watch Obama... Because if you had that chance you will vote for him.. No offense I still like you

Tony   May 2nd, 2008 7:17 pm ET

Are we now seeing who the real elitist is?

Liz SC   May 2nd, 2008 7:16 pm ET

Liz with all due respect I hope you don't think we will buy what you are selling. Hillary is a fake and so are you. Poor excuse for a women that is no better than Bill Clinton with all you husbands.

Bri   May 2nd, 2008 7:16 pm ET

Who cares???

Helene   May 2nd, 2008 7:16 pm ET

Frankly who cares ? Who asks you ? Being an actress qualifies you to talk politics ? Clooney support Obama but has the intelligence of keeping it to himself. You should do likewise.

Its True   May 2nd, 2008 7:16 pm ET

What about Michael Jackson and Bubbles? Do they agree with you Liz?

DB   May 2nd, 2008 7:15 pm ET

Did you say Elizabeth Flibbertijibbet? I cannot make up my mind on the advise of any person who never got to making up their own minds.

Precious   May 2nd, 2008 7:14 pm ET

I agree wholeheartedly. It is Senator Clinton's strength and determination that allows Americans to get to know Barack Obama,a little more. Time is everything and the most valuable!

Give Hillary a chance, she deserves it just as much as Obama. They both deserve the next 8-16 years. (Historically)!

Janice   May 2nd, 2008 7:14 pm ET

Wake up people. Visit paul vs. clinton – amazing reading.

Change Now!   May 2nd, 2008 7:14 pm ET

"She is very savvy and a smart leader with years of experience in government, diplomacy and politics." - Liz Taylor

You're right, Liz – Clinton is savvy, smart, blah blah blah – when you compare her against YOURSELF. However, your baseline is wrong my dear.

Try comparing her against Obama – you will realize he far outweighs her in savviness and smartness.

As for her experience? That didn't help us whole lot when the vote for Iraq war came up, did it?

Experience that doesn't translate to good decisions is no good. Sorry, but I will take Obama's "inexperience" anyday over Hillary's experience.

THE KID   May 2nd, 2008 7:14 pm ET

well thank you Liz, by the way when is the last time you bumped your gas. Also the saving $35 for a short term gain is not that smart of a plan especially ,if the replublicans have to go along with a windfall profit tax on oil companies, get real people. Most people called that
pandering, but she is not elite, yeah right .Also why doesn't she fire
Mark Penn a notorius uniom buster, paying him about $10 million, but can't find the money to pay her workers benefits, or for that matter
her old high school for rent she owe. Hmmm. And when will the
media report on Peter Paul. Did you attend Liz, inquiring minds want to know. Have you got your subpoena yet?

Rachel   May 2nd, 2008 7:14 pm ET

AAAH! Get out o' TOWN!!

Just another reason why I love the one and only:

Elizabeth Taylor Hilton Wilding Fisher Todd Burton Burton Warner Plotensky. (yep, count them.. there's 8.)

Airborne   May 2nd, 2008 7:13 pm ET

No I won't

OBAMA 08

Andrea   May 2nd, 2008 7:13 pm ET

You have made another bad choice, Elizabeth.

linbit   May 2nd, 2008 7:13 pm ET

Nobody ever accused Elizabeth Taylor of being the brightest bulb on the tree.

Janice   May 2nd, 2008 7:13 pm ET

US Magazine August 28, 2000 shows Peter Paul's Japanese partner Tendo Oto, with his interpreter VP Johnathan Rodgers, sitting behind the Clintons at the Gala Concert Fundraiser for Hillary Clinton (Event 39) paid for and produced by Paul. Oto was prohibited from attending and/or contributing to a federal fundraising event and he was unable to be vetted by the Secret Service because he had no Social Security number. He was "smuggled" in by Clinton agents Rosen, Levin with the approval of the Clintons because of his business relationship with Paul and through him the Clintons.

VA republican   May 2nd, 2008 7:13 pm ET

this person should be admitted. there is nothing more I can say.

Mr.Pi!-PDX   May 2nd, 2008 7:13 pm ET

Elizabeth Taylor's opinion matters how? Oh that's right she used to be famous.
Not going to sway many opinions here.

law   May 2nd, 2008 7:12 pm ET

Hillary is a politician.
Hillary is a senior in the white house.
Hillary has the heart and mind to work for public service.
But,
She can not be our president.
She can not unite people in this country. She does not truly understand how other governments works in their system, especially middle east and Asian countries. She has no clue about how they think. Therefore, she can not promote peace.
She has no integrity. She mends problems. She goes what is popular. She has no ability to think through a challenging problem so that to make a crucial judgment to solve a problem from its roots.
I warn you, vote for her is a vote for doom!!!

BJ   May 2nd, 2008 7:12 pm ET

Thank you Elizabeth!

YES! HILLARY '08

jason   May 2nd, 2008 7:12 pm ET

Why is this news? Neither Barack OR hillary are flibbertigibbets..

flibbertigibbet \FLIB-ur-tee-jib-it\, noun:
A silly, flighty, or scatterbrained person, especially a pert young woman with such qualities.

Sistah   May 2nd, 2008 7:12 pm ET

Coming from another woman, that can't keep a man.

Go Obama!

James   May 2nd, 2008 7:11 pm ET

Since when does Elizbeth Taylors opinion matter! I find it amazing that we act as if Celebrities that know how to act, have a more intelligent knowledge when it comes to Politics. Hillary is an actor want to be, and shows it each time she acts with her ever changing stories. If the Democrats cannot come up with anything better than Hillary, or Obama, then the Democratic party is in major trouble. Neither one will do anything to improve the economy, or the price of gas.

norvef   May 2nd, 2008 7:11 pm ET

And i should listen to Elizabeth WHY???

Peachy Keen   May 2nd, 2008 7:10 pm ET

Oh no, poor Liz is getting senile.

Jim   May 2nd, 2008 7:10 pm ET

She didnt have much luck picking husband so I suppose it figures she would pick Hillary!

Janet   May 2nd, 2008 7:10 pm ET

Ms. Taylor:
You are a person from the past; you are older than I, and I am older than dirt. What exactly are your qualifications for analyzing the Democratic race other than your sex?

Oh! Great!   May 2nd, 2008 7:10 pm ET

I will go right out and vote for HRC because this lady said too...get real! Elizabeth can't pick a husband but can pick the President...give me a break! How old is she? I am surprised she even knows what is going on, but then she has alot of money in the bank too, isn't in touch with America!

Barbara Roberts   May 2nd, 2008 7:10 pm ET

Glad to hear one more for Clinton, I state again if Obama gets it I will vote for McClain. So if McClain gets it it will be the fault of the big wigs in the party who are to bull headed to listen to what Obama is and want their own way. Such as not counting the FL and MI votes. Get rid of those and get someone with common sence in.

Skippy   May 2nd, 2008 7:09 pm ET

Taylor needs to stick to what she does best: Husbands, perfume and movies.
Movie stars, unless they are running for office, should stick to what they do best.
I take offense at her comments about Clinton being a good teacher.
The woman who acted like the intern her husband had sex with while at work was a major inconvience didn't teach us anything but deny, deny, deny.
She didn't have the grace or leadership to get him to admit the truth and move on.
NO MORE CLINTONS IN THE OVAL OFFICE.

The Corp   May 2nd, 2008 7:09 pm ET

Is this request for comment for real? Such relevance!!!

Bayou Joe   May 2nd, 2008 7:09 pm ET

Thank you Elizabeth. I have always liked you. It shows that you still have it girl. You know how to pick winners. At least in the Democratic race. If she loses you will vote for McCain. right.

Skippy   May 2nd, 2008 7:09 pm ET

Joe, Northern Virginia   May 2nd, 2008 7:09 pm ET

Who cares are what Miss Taylor says... she has never taken her own life seriously? How does she expect anyone in his or her right mind to treat what she says with any relevance? She is stuck in the past just like the person she is endorsing. Miss Taylor this about the FUTUER not the past. That same business as usual attitude in Washington that has turned things soar in our country isn't going to cut it this time around. We need fresh minds...

VIVA OBAMA!!

April in Texas   May 2nd, 2008 7:08 pm ET

Sorry Liz.. That isnt happening. Her husband sent my family in a tailspin and that I can not forget nor forgive. I don't think Hillary will be any better from her own lies / confusion, flip flopping on NAFTA and the list could go on.. Again its Obama or I stay home plain and simple..

Obama 08

Merv   May 2nd, 2008 7:08 pm ET

Not surprising. She is certainly emblematic of Clinton's key demographic: fat, elderly, white, & delusional

MW - Cali   May 2nd, 2008 7:08 pm ET

Paleeze! Go back to sleep. Now why would I take her word for it...how many times has she been married? Didn't she believe in Michael and later was not seen with him in public anymore? Liz, select your candidate but don't tell others who they should choose. Clinton has earned her own suspicions as a flibbertijibbet as have you!!!

Obama 08-12 – All the way – Yes we can change!!!

LA Ben   May 2nd, 2008 7:08 pm ET

Who the hell cares? Sound the alarm – yet another old white lady voting for Clinton.

Josef   May 2nd, 2008 7:07 pm ET

SHUT UP! Liz Taylor you wretched old wacko. You HAD your 15 minutes already. Why should ANYONE care what YOU think about WHO should be President. Who do you think you are? Sean Penn?

Carl Granieri   May 2nd, 2008 7:07 pm ET

Only ET could find a way to pry 'flibbertijibbet' into a presidential endorsement. The hollywood elite has stayed pretty quite on this race, I've noticed. There hasn't been lot of hooting and hollering coming from the West Coast during this contest. I wonder if they've gotten the hint that it doesn't help with the folks in fly-over America, and the silence is by design.

OC - CA - cubanamericanwoman   May 2nd, 2008 7:07 pm ET

Does that mean that JACKOWACKO also supports the Clintons?

LOL.........

Cowboy Jack   May 2nd, 2008 7:07 pm ET

Wait, she's not endorsing Obama? She must be pro-American

Evelyn   May 2nd, 2008 7:07 pm ET

I agree with Liz Taylor and Maya Angelou!

It's time for real change. After years and years of men at the helm–it's about time we have a strong woman steer the country back in the right direction! Historical? "Madame President!"...How that for Historical and Groundbreaking!
I hope the voters of Indiana and North Carolina steer this primary season back in the right direction.

Daniel   May 2nd, 2008 7:06 pm ET

So wait, this is essentially a good thing for Obama. Who wants this crotchety old woman's support? And since when is a hollywood endorsement news? Thank you again, tabloid CNN.

Newt   May 2nd, 2008 7:06 pm ET

Who cares what she thinks

Laura   May 2nd, 2008 7:06 pm ET

The state of our country is in worse shape than I originally thought if anyone actually cares what Elizabeth Taylor thinks. Does she even know her own mind? How many times has she been married...at least 8! Gimmeabreak!

Judy jones   May 2nd, 2008 7:06 pm ET

Talk about ELITE people. My Question How many pants suits does Hillary Clinton own. Does she ever wear a dress or is it more important to be "testicular". Doesn't fly with me.I don't care for women who think they are one of the guys! Men should run the country not a women who cries, lies and cheats our country.

mozartt   May 2nd, 2008 7:06 pm ET

coming from someone who has been married 7 or is it 8 times? and one who has been reputed to have addictions, does she have the kind of judgement that folks should pay attention to? I'm glad she endorsed Clinton – whew! I was afraid she would endorse Obama who has a loving wife (only one) and two beautiful children.

mick   May 2nd, 2008 7:06 pm ET

History will show that Hillary can take on anyone or anything besides the young voters and MSNBC

Colin   May 2nd, 2008 7:06 pm ET

Why do we care?

annie   May 2nd, 2008 7:06 pm ET

Good for Elizabeth Taylor – Keep going Hillary – We need a real person for president not someone who takes 20 plus years to figure out what his mentor is saying.

Kenny   May 2nd, 2008 7:06 pm ET

Is she still alive? And how does a has-been celebrity endorsement constitute news?

Luke   May 2nd, 2008 7:05 pm ET

I'm not racist personally but I just don't think america is ready for a flibbertijibbet president

Brian in Windsor Ontario   May 2nd, 2008 7:05 pm ET

Hummm, a woman over 60... Yes, it would be expected that she would support Sen. Clinton. Celebrety endorsements are pretty lame... except Springsteen, and he is supporting Obama...

Rob - Vegas   May 2nd, 2008 7:05 pm ET

HUH? she's the one people are going to listen to?

this is getting nuts, i'm sorry but this really is getting out of hand. first of all, it's not news, second, how is she the voice of reason to tell people how to vote?

Dave Bell   May 2nd, 2008 7:04 pm ET

Michael Jackson is not running.

HILLARY GO HOME   May 2nd, 2008 7:04 pm ET

And her endorsement means what?

Bitter Tommy in St. Louis   May 2nd, 2008 7:04 pm ET

An endorsement by a has-been for a has-been. By the way, what is a flibbertijibbet?

Will   May 2nd, 2008 7:03 pm ET

Takes an elitist to know an elitist.

jimmy vekmen   May 2nd, 2008 7:03 pm ET

ELIZABETH TAYLOR , ACTRESS EXTRAORDINAIRE, HUMANITARIAN
AIDS ACTIVIST, MUCH ADMIRED FOR HER PHILANTROPHY.
GREAT ENGLISH AMERICAN. I RESPECT AND ADMIRE YOUR MANY
ACCOMPLISHMENTS . I ALSO RESPECT YOUR CHOICE AND
COMMENDATION FOR HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON.

MY FAMILY AND I WILL INDEED VOTE FOR HILLARY CLINTON.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE FOR OUR GREAT COUNTRY.

JS   May 2nd, 2008 7:03 pm ET

That's all nice and dandy.

The problem with the Clintons is that they need to step aside and let some new blood lead this country. They had their time in the sun. More than that they have a history of deception. Of course, this is the dirty world of politics but Hillary is not truthful in almost every step of the way. Sooner or later people start to think about this.
And the conclusion they come to is that the Clintons are misguided or frauds.

Whatever   May 2nd, 2008 7:03 pm ET

While it's not a superdelegate, I guess you take whatever you can these days.

Matthew   May 2nd, 2008 7:03 pm ET

That's one resounding reason for us to vote Obama. ... character issues, you know...

CliffsofInsanity   May 2nd, 2008 7:02 pm ET

Why is this considered a story?

Ben   May 2nd, 2008 7:02 pm ET

Ooh, look, another shallow pro-Clinton "news" story. Great job, CNN. You're right up there with the National Enquirer.

Steve S. From S. Florida   May 2nd, 2008 7:02 pm ET

Now this is one old girl to listen too.

Ludovic   May 2nd, 2008 7:02 pm ET

mmmmmm!
is she a super delegate ?
can some one explain clinton the rule of the game ?

Joe   May 2nd, 2008 7:02 pm ET

Wow, another senile old woman for Clinton!!! What a surprise. She also endorses Michael Jackson as a babysitter.

Deanie, MO   May 2nd, 2008 7:02 pm ET

I'm sure Clinton supporters will be happy about this, but my vote will still go to Barack Obama. He will be my next president.

Love you Liz, but you don't know Hillary.

Obama 08

SLIM   May 2nd, 2008 7:02 pm ET

PLEASE!! Elizabeth Taylor ain't nothing. She's just another senior citizen. Elizabeth Taylor go play with your son Micheal Jackson. hahahahaha...

ron   May 2nd, 2008 7:01 pm ET

OMG again and again – who cares what she or any other actors says regards politics. She has no more voice than I do the average voter! She is no one special at all whether she was backing Clinton, Obama, McCain or the man on the moon.

CNN this is not news ad you shoudl be ashamed of yourselves!

jason   May 2nd, 2008 7:01 pm ET

what a ditzy sounding woman.

i wish the endorsers of any presidential candidate would just shut up. This article says to me:

"supporting hillary is so easy, a cave (wo)man could do it."

JF Las Vegas   May 2nd, 2008 7:00 pm ET

Elizabeth,y you could have spent your money on a more wiser candidate, but you didn't, too bad...

John   May 2nd, 2008 7:00 pm ET

Elizabeth Taylor,a woman of substance,makes a lot of sense,when she describes who Hillary Clinton is,when it comes to knowing who our President is going to be.Not the simplistic shoving of a President to be down, the throats of the voters.No No ,this is the United States of America.Due process are considered in Courts for every citizen and all that live and try to make life better for their families .The judiciary has not got the fix it quick and we move on.When it comes to disenfenchising voters,then something is not right.This is happening in the middle of a debacle in Florida and Michigan States.Now they want to dictate what suites them best,their candidate,who they think is going to win.What if it does not work their way???? Let true democracy work.

bob in LA   May 2nd, 2008 7:00 pm ET

Celebrity endorsments mean little, but it;s good to hear from Elizabeth!
Hang in there, baby!

Hank in PA   May 2nd, 2008 7:00 pm ET

Thank you Elizabeth! We are happy to have your support and hope your words will swing a few votes toward Hillary!

She is the best qualified, and even the DNC knows Obama is just about completely unelectable at this point.

R.M.   May 2nd, 2008 7:00 pm ET

Sure, I will listen to Liz of all people.... ha ha...

Samantha in Calif   May 2nd, 2008 7:00 pm ET

I am getting more and more convinced that there is absolutely no hope for America and that the old saying "Those Who Forget History Are Doomed to Repeat It" has never been more clearer than during this election.

The Lady   May 2nd, 2008 6:59 pm ET

CNN you can keep deleted posted blogs concerning Hillary's advisor Kanton making the comment the Indiana voters are worthless white N, but it is posted every where else so the word is out there.

How can she have a mind of her own when she lost it already?
Never mind...........

walli   May 2nd, 2008 6:58 pm ET

On second thought I think Mr Obama is too decent for that job. He over qualified. Im sure that he will end up better not getting it. ITS everyone else's loss and not his.

crownsy   May 2nd, 2008 6:58 pm ET

who cares?

is what a former movie star who hasn't had a meaningful project in years really supposed to be news?

hey CNN, what side does carrot top favor?

Unshrub   May 2nd, 2008 6:58 pm ET

Elizabeth Taylor sure does know how to pick them; Hillary Clinton and Michael Jackson.

prcleburne   May 2nd, 2008 6:58 pm ET

Hillary is too a flibbertijibbet ! ( Definition: a lying, scheming, calculating, manipulating, pandering, ruthless politician ).

Nora, FLORIDA   May 2nd, 2008 6:58 pm ET

Can someone tell me what in the world makes these entertainers the eye opener to the candidates because I will not vote for any candidate based upon the elite who back them. They are in a totally different tax bracket that I will be in if I win LOTTO. So tell me again, why does Liz Taylor or any other entertainer matters in this process!!!

OregonVoter   May 2nd, 2008 6:57 pm ET

Nuts! Obama just lost the filthy rich old white woman vote. Good job picking up on this stunning news. Going to be tough without their support. I will have to rethink my vote now too...I didn't know Obama was a "flibbertijibbet". Man, that has to hurt. I'm not sure I want a "flibbertijibbet" in the White House.

sophia nyc   May 2nd, 2008 6:57 pm ET

Good Lord. Run, people, run! This from a woman who couldn't hold on to 1 out of 8 men.

skylark   May 2nd, 2008 6:57 pm ET

I don't want her to have a mind of her own. I want her to represent all Americans. Perception is everything and on a global scale she will never be trusted after all the lies and nastiness she has spewed in this contest.
Obama '08
One old bat to another.

mumzy5x   May 2nd, 2008 6:57 pm ET

Boy has the cancer ever effected her brain, people better go and vote barack Obama, if they want this country to get back on track, i just don't believe how stupid people are when they voice support for Hillary Clinton...and john Mccain. they should have to starve, and walk to all destinations.. people if we do not elect barack Obama we ..the POOR
PEOPLE..will surely be in BIG TROUBLE.. open your hearts and see who in this election is for real..

Mom4Obama   May 2nd, 2008 6:57 pm ET

This mom bakes cookies and I taught my three year old how to read!!!!! Average American MOM WILL NOT vote for Hillary!

Moms get UNITED let your one vote4 Obama vote out Bush,Clinton,Bush,Clinton Dynasties the OPPOSITE of Bush,Clinton,Bush,Clinton is OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!

Carrie   May 2nd, 2008 6:57 pm ET

Diplomacy? I haven't seen much of that from Hillary, unless Liz means Bush-style diplomacy, of the 'Your either with us or against us' kind.

JohnLahai   May 2nd, 2008 6:57 pm ET

Hillary is NOT tearing apart the democratic party. Hillary is doing just what any Clinton does— take advantage of any situation given to them (e.g., Monica L., Sniper-fire; NAFTA, Michigan and FL votes etc.).

The real people splitting this party are the "bilnd" and uneducated supporters of Hillary. How can Hillary, with more negatives than any politican (except Gov. Bush), ever run a successful general election in this nation? The Republicans and Independents are praying for that day to come!!! We will have to thank, not Hillary (because she will be off somewhere with her $109 million), but her "bird-brain" supporters

obama supporter   May 2nd, 2008 6:56 pm ET

take your plastic body and do what you used to do best, bette yet go see michael jackson

Brandon NC Voter   May 2nd, 2008 6:56 pm ET

Thank you Elizabeth and all the work you have done for many charities over the years you are one of a kind!!!

There is a silent majority and we will see this Tuesday night. The strongest candidate will win and that will be another Clinton!!

Hillary or Mc Cain !

Carmen McKines   May 2nd, 2008 6:56 pm ET

I'm not sure what a "flibbertijibbet" is! But I do think that if Hillary had not begun to use her negative "kitchen sink" campaign strategy against her democratic opponent, she may have been more likable. After that, and a few other faux pas, her like-ability and trustworthiness went to flibbertijibbet!

NC for Hillary '08-'12   May 2nd, 2008 6:56 pm ET

Coming from the knee jerk mindset that is Hollywood,
Elizabeth Taylor is a breath of fresh air.

Stick that in your MOVEON.ORG PIPE AND SMOKE IT.....MR.OBAMA!

EDWARD SMITH   May 2nd, 2008 6:56 pm ET

I hope she is better at picking candidates than husbands.

scott   May 2nd, 2008 6:56 pm ET

lets only hope. People use there minds when they vote. But as you know just like the grace of hollywood has been lost I fear the US has gone to reality TV as todays veiwers are hooked on HOw they look and personality and not the real substance of the shows there watching

NC 4 Obama   May 2nd, 2008 6:55 pm ET

She has a mind of her 'own' alright in her mind she Dodged Sniper Bullets in Bosnia if that aint a mind of her own I dont know what is!!
Smart n Savvy Liar is right! The people of Indianna and North Carolina are not stupid they see right thru Hillarious deceptions and lies! If Sen Obama was so bad then why are soo many people in Politics supporting him even 2 of Hillarious supporters switched (1 major fund raiser and a Gov).
The folks in the political arena who are behind Hillarious Clinton are the ones who 'OWE' Bill 'Cigar' Clinton! Like that Judge in the Peter Paul vs Clinton case! Shhhhhh dont tell nobody till AFTER Nov!
What a disgrace!

Dave in Portland   May 2nd, 2008 6:55 pm ET

Hellooooooo look at the article below
70% of americans are fed up with the white house and washington
Dont vote for *SAME* vote for *CHANGE*
Get out and change your country while you have the chance!!!
vote for Obama!!!

Colette, NY   May 2nd, 2008 6:54 pm ET

Experience in diplomacy? Let's get serious. The Middle East and the UK are fired up over her reckless comment about obliterating Iran in defense of Israel. I can see the terrorists lining up now!

Tobias   May 2nd, 2008 6:54 pm ET

She's beautiful and smart!! Go Hillary!! Vote smart, vote Clinton.

KH   May 2nd, 2008 6:54 pm ET

Obama's campaign should now get former DNC chair Joe Andrew and make an Ad about why he has switched from Clinton to Obama. Cite all the reasons he gave in his endorsement letter and hammer in on the gas issue. Take that ad and run it in IN & NC over the weekend.

Larry from LA   May 2nd, 2008 6:54 pm ET

Gee an 80 year Mrs Taylor endorsing Hillay. Now what a shock that is. I beleive hillary gets 80% of the 80 and over crowd.

Hillary-who?   May 2nd, 2008 6:53 pm ET

I always suspect that Liz is a no-brainer. This proves that I'm right.

mike   May 2nd, 2008 6:53 pm ET

What next? the endorsement of Jerry Lewis? What relevance could Taylor possibly have in today's world? Duh – dumb beyond belief.

Bob Flibbertijibbet   May 2nd, 2008 6:53 pm ET

Well, quite frankly I'm offended...

Bob, Lyons Oregon,   May 2nd, 2008 6:53 pm ET

Well, I beg to differ with Elizabeth. Clinton is not a strong candidate, she does not tell the truth and panders to get votes. I will not be voting for her. She is a divider, and Obama is a uniter. With all her years of experience, I don't see that she has accomplished much of anything. She has not run a very smart or decent campaign. I will not vote for her. Vote for your children, Vote Obama. Its time to change things in Washington for your children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, not old actresses out of touch with what america really needs.

Job   May 2nd, 2008 6:53 pm ET

Yes and Lizzy is Bossum Buddies with all of the Clintons radical Freinds. Like the several members of the Weather Underground Terorist Group that Bill Clinton pardoned after they were convicted of terrorist bombings and sentenced to long prison terms.

Frank   May 2nd, 2008 6:53 pm ET

RIGHT ON LIZ TAYLOR!!!! I always knew why I loved you ! GO HILLARY
Another smart person thinking with their Brain. The time is so right for all Americans to support Sen.Clinton.

Cameron   May 2nd, 2008 6:53 pm ET

Way to go Liz; I am glad to see woman coming out for Senator Clinton. I've been trying to convince my women friends for 8 years that Hillary will be strong voice for women and ultimately for our country. Mrs. Edwards supports Hillary too. Go Hillary!

The path to our first woman President goes as follows: two wins on Tuesday will send the automatic (Super) delegates towards Hillary and when the DNC adds MI and FL as they have promised at the end of month the picture will become clear – Hillary is the most electable candidate for the Democratic Party. The icing on the cake, putting her ahead in the delegate count and the popular vote, will be when Hillary wins the winner-take-all primary with 63 delgates in Puerto Rico.

People do not give up the fight, because we have Hillary fighting for us.

Jay Shah   May 2nd, 2008 6:52 pm ET

this is simple one old hag supporting another. Liz taylor has no reason to saying about politics. She should get married for a 9th time instead!

Anastasia Beaverhausen   May 2nd, 2008 6:52 pm ET

Oh, Lord! Elizabeth Taylor? Come on! She hardly knows whether she's coming or going most of the time, so what difference does her endorsement make? In that crazy head of hers, she probably thinks Barack Obama is Hillary Clinton, and vice versa. A woman with her past can't commit to anything anyway, especially since she has married twenty different men over the years. She'll be rooting for Obama next week.

Beautiful   May 2nd, 2008 6:52 pm ET

Love Her!!

Daniel   May 2nd, 2008 6:52 pm ET

This is not news, I do not care who she supports. Superdelegates need to make up their minds, not Liz Taylor...

With all due respect for your longevity as an actress the only thing Hillary should be in line for is an Oscar for the most dubious characterizations in the shortest period of time.
God Bless you Miss Taylor

Thanks Liz! I always knew you where one of he smart ones in Hollywood. We all thank you for all your contributions also!

Sounds like Bush!   May 2nd, 2008 6:51 pm ET

She's probably on her meds! I for sure will vote for HRC because this lady said too....give me a break. Bet she picks her candidate endorsements as well as she picks her husbands....

I'm desperately looking for the "is this actually news" or "who really cares" button in the corner of my screen. Who in the world honestly cares about what Elizabeth Taylor thinks or who she endorses for president – much less if she thinks they're a "flibbertiwhatever". Give me a break. Come on CNN – help me out here – let's at least get something that resembles actual news.

Mandy, California   May 2nd, 2008 6:51 pm ET

Voting for Hillary because she is a woman is a wasted vote. Elizabeth Dole was a better candidate but the public wasn't ready for a woman President back then.

Why not wait until a legitimate woman candidate comes along wihtout all the baggage and negative ratings and vote for her!

Mark Anthony   May 2nd, 2008 6:50 pm ET

Elizabeth Taylor, great actress and I repeat actress. If you listen to any actor/actress on politics then you need to reevaluate where you get your news from.

I decide who I vote for, from listening to the issues not Wright, not Bill C., Not Bruce S., not 50 cent, I make my decisions not some actor/actress.

PS. I know this won't get posted I've yet to see any of my comments and I comment EVERYDAY!!!!

TX - Black Man   May 2nd, 2008 6:50 pm ET

LIZ.....WHY WON'T YOU URGE THAT THEY VOTE FOR JACK AND DANIELS OR PRO AND ZAC

YOU CAN GO BACK TO YOU DRUNKEN STATE OF MIND MS. TAYLOR – - – WE WILL WAKE YOU WHEN THE ELECTIONS ARE OVER....

Craig   May 2nd, 2008 6:50 pm ET

I don't think I can take anyone who uses the word "flibbertijibet" seriously.

woo hoo come on Indiana and NC bring her home

jafapete   May 2nd, 2008 6:49 pm ET

From the OED (in case anyone's wondering):
flibbertigibbet, n.
1. A chattering or gossiping person; a flighty or frivolous woman.

Rich in Seattle   May 2nd, 2008 6:49 pm ET

Crazy knows crazy. Maybe she is trying to lobby for Michael Jackson to be VP?

Lisa   May 2nd, 2008 6:49 pm ET

Thanks Liz!

Jodie from Idaho   May 2nd, 2008 6:49 pm ET

Yeah!! Lets extend this thing out longer. I think not!

J-Syxx   May 2nd, 2008 6:48 pm ET

Who cares what this old bag thinks? Why is this news? Maybe they should go to the Chicago history museum and talk to the fossilized skeleton of of the Tyrannosaurus Rex to see who he endorses.

mouli   May 2nd, 2008 6:48 pm ET

yep, Senator Clinton is strong, strong-armed with belligerent rhetoric showing a readiness to annihilate another country from the podium of the white-house, positively negative. The future of the country does not rest with the past pathways of status quo.

I too hope that wisdom will prevail.

Selina   May 2nd, 2008 6:48 pm ET

Wow... I'm convinced! Not! With all due respect to Ms Taylor, but Clinton is not for the people. She's for herself and only herself!

Karin   May 2nd, 2008 6:48 pm ET

“not a flibbertijibbet.”

Uh, okay. Thanks for the clarity, Liz.

*rolling eyes*

kathy in ohio   May 2nd, 2008 6:48 pm ET

watch out liz ..........obama people are going to start the attack

clinton   May 2nd, 2008 6:48 pm ET

wow lets all just vote for hillary lol. What a joke!

James, OH   May 2nd, 2008 6:48 pm ET

I'm switching to Clinton, that's it! lol

Honestly, who cares about her? It's obvious clinton is grasping at straws right now...

Amy   May 2nd, 2008 6:48 pm ET

Considering how out of it she usually is, I doubt she said that. Probably one of her people is a Clinton backer.

Ellie in Aurora, CO   May 2nd, 2008 6:48 pm ET

And we should care because? I don't recall Liz Taylor being any kind of a political activist or expert on any issues. Many Hollywood types are very involved in politics and I respect them for their commitmet. But Liz Taylor? Really?

walli   May 2nd, 2008 6:48 pm ET

Barack Obama is the best man for the job period!!!!!!!!!
If he had certain physical characteristics that all the former presidents have in common he would have been the democratic nominee a long time now and would be on his way to become president. What a pity! wat a shame indeed!

Dave   May 2nd, 2008 6:47 pm ET

Is this really news-worthy? Who cares?

Matt   May 2nd, 2008 6:47 pm ET

Wow. How relevant.

Big Al   May 2nd, 2008 6:47 pm ET

Has anyone noticed that no matter what blog CNN puts up for discussion everyone gravitates to the Clinton vs Obama race.

And so I would like to thank Elizabeth Taylor who still recognized talent when she hears it and see it...

Hillary R. Clinton, the first female president in the history of America and an Iron Women she will be for this glorious country...

God Bless America and God Bless Ms. Taylor

Tony, Miami   May 2nd, 2008 6:46 pm ET

She is formidable she must be around 125 years old and probably already change any big or little piece of her body. Don't listen to her she is senile that she can't correct yet.

James   May 2nd, 2008 6:46 pm ET

Is that surprising: Liz Taylor is exactly Hillary's demographic: wealthy, old female.

and flibbertijibbet, where the heck did she get that from? Was she trying to impress us with an obscure word or does she really talk that way?

raul   May 2nd, 2008 6:46 pm ET

Who cares what she says. E.T. doesn't know anything about politics and has done nothing for our country. Get back to Beverly Hills!

Brazza Man   May 2nd, 2008 6:46 pm ET

Oh yes – consider the source.

And a supporter of Michael Jackson as well, crippled for years with substance abuse issues, and a true spokesperson for main stream America?

Please good citizens of Indiana and North Carolina - look toward the future, leave aside the Clinton baggage of the past, and vote for a unifying figure, Barack Obama, with hope, trust and transparency to unite this great land after years of division, hatred and mistrust.

We did not have that under Clinton-I, and do not believe for a moment that Hillary will change stripes at this late date - although her "make-over" artists are doing a wonderful job of putting her out this week in cutsy pinks, yellows, etc. to show the "softer side?" Don't be fooled.

Roger   May 2nd, 2008 6:46 pm ET

who cares.

Gnomepark   May 2nd, 2008 6:45 pm ET

Go play with Michael Jackson.....who cares about your opinion. What have you done NEW in the past 25 years????

Norman   May 2nd, 2008 6:45 pm ET

Thank God! Elizabeth Taylor finally came out to back a candidate. For a while, I was lost. It's good that we have the views of people who have nothing to do with the campaign and obviously have done little else but gender research publicized in the hope of swaying some votes.

Niky   May 2nd, 2008 6:44 pm ET

so?

Good god   May 2nd, 2008 6:44 pm ET

This is practically an endorsement for Obama!

Can't you guys find a better photo?

Philandis Wimbush   May 2nd, 2008 6:44 pm ET

I have been waiting for a sign from heaven, and finally it has arrived. Liz Taylor, that model of stability ( she's been married , what, 7or 8 times?) has declared for Hillary. That's good enough for me. Whatever a flider..., filderb..., flipperty....Oh hell, whatever it is, I think Liz must be one.

Alexis   May 2nd, 2008 6:44 pm ET

Look who's asking for the people to vote for Clinton..... Does she even know what she's talking about????

Obama 08

Interested Reader   May 2nd, 2008 6:44 pm ET

Oh dear heavens – this woman is crazy!!

Ben   May 2nd, 2008 6:44 pm ET

Please PLEASE CNN.do not print my previous comment! I thought Taylor was backing Obama. This makes me feel like a fool! Maybe I am

Bill-S   May 2nd, 2008 6:43 pm ET

More from the same old sad establishment. Very much out of touch and from a different time. We need new leadership who has a vision for the future and is not tied in with the old corrupt oligarchs of the past. Hillary is not for the future, she is part of the problem.

Tim   May 2nd, 2008 6:43 pm ET

That's about as valuable an endorsment as her buddy Michael Jackson's. She's plum loony.

kayla   May 2nd, 2008 6:43 pm ET

your ship has come and gone liz!

Indiana   May 2nd, 2008 6:43 pm ET

Bravo Elizabeth!!! We will give you your wish!!! Hillary President!!!

Frank, San Diego   May 2nd, 2008 6:43 pm ET

I don't care much who Elizabeth Taylor supports. But I certainly hope that CNN will refrain from posting comments that don't have anything to do with this article.

In particular, please don't continue to promote the right-wing effort to gin up this Peter Paul nuisance lawsuit.

OMG!!! clnton gets another old fart on her side. WHOOPI!!!! old farts, and uneducated people are her voters. that's why we need to vote for obama. the educated gets it, and we need to educated those who are uneducated and maybe they will finally see the light. you can't teach old farts new tricks!!!

Tim from Eugene OR.   May 2nd, 2008 6:42 pm ET

Not surprised to hear the ancient supporting the old. I always wondered what the people who experienced the past turn of the centurys felt like. I thought this would be an exciting time full of hope and wonder. But we were robbed of that as we all were saturated with fear and scare tactics, day after day. Most of it designed to keep us frozen and afraid as the wealthy stole all the wealth. I am voting for Obama because he dosn't seem to be of the old guard, old politics. We are already about ten percent into this new century and I am sick of the old ways. I am ready for the future.
OBAMA 08

Hillary, will HEAL our Economy!!

Hillary, is READY on DAY ONE!!!

ObamaMama   May 2nd, 2008 6:42 pm ET

And who is Elizabeth Taylor, and why should I listen to her?

Not sleeping at the switch   May 2nd, 2008 6:41 pm ET

75% of the people taking part in this election don't remember who she is.

Paul   May 2nd, 2008 6:41 pm ET

Didn't she have Michael Jackson as the best "man" at her wedding....not really dazzling me with you judgement there Liz!

David Kolva, MD   May 2nd, 2008 6:41 pm ET

Right! Another fossil for Clinton. Way to go Hillary, you have the ancient order of has-beens vote all to own!

Wonder if Liz Taylor knows how to pump gas?

clintondestroyer   May 2nd, 2008 6:41 pm ET

Please take your senile opinions and return to the cave from where you have emerged you old hussy!! no one cares what you think!!

Colette, NY   May 2nd, 2008 6:41 pm ET

Liz Taylor is so irrelavant. I didn't realize she was still alive. I guess she doesn't have a new boyfriend or husband yet. I want to know if Hillary was under sniper fire in Guam?

MICHELE J   May 2nd, 2008 6:41 pm ET

Oh great! Just what HRC needs, another senior citizen speaking for her! Ms Taylor, like HRC, will not remember what she said tomorrow!

AZM   May 2nd, 2008 6:41 pm ET

Don't get me wrong... I'm in no way an Obama supporter... but I don't see where this helps Clinton at all... ha ha... Thanks anyway Liz...

Greg   May 2nd, 2008 6:41 pm ET

Thanks, Liz. Time for your lithium and scotch…go back to bed.

LMAO OOOOOOOBAMA 0000008!

North of the border   May 2nd, 2008 6:41 pm ET

ELIZABETH WHO? JUST YOUR AVERAGE LITTLE OLD LADY, IN TOUCH WITH THE PLIGHT OF THE AMERICAN PUBLIC. MRS. TAYLOR , WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, IS PART OF THE ELITE CLUB, THAT THE CLINTONS AND MACAINS BELONG TO. SHE WANTS TO TELL THE GOOD HARD WORKING PEOPLE OF INDIANA AND NORTH CAROLINA WHAT'S GOOD FOR THEM?

Allen   May 2nd, 2008 6:40 pm ET

Well gawrsh, I was gonna vote for ol' Obama, but since Liz Taylor says I should vote for Hillary, I reckon I'll do that instead.

If your vote is swayed by a celebrity, you should lose your right to vote.

Jean   May 2nd, 2008 6:40 pm ET

Taylor wants some of Slick Willy

Shel, SLC UT   May 2nd, 2008 6:40 pm ET

Great. One loon endorsing another.

Yves larochelle   May 2nd, 2008 6:40 pm ET

and I am urging people to vote Obama, because Clinton is a member of the same old clan. Hillary is a Republican!

mark   May 2nd, 2008 6:40 pm ET

After seeing Mrs Clinton's interview with Bill Oreily I have to say it was the strongest I have heard her sound yet. Mrs Taylors endorsement is welcome I'm sure but more interviews on Fox news will do her much more good. Eat that cnn !!!!!!! so much for the fox news boycott, there ratings sky rocketed for the last two nights,,,,,, I wonder who or what party was watching ??????????

Janet in KC   May 2nd, 2008 6:39 pm ET

Hillary had her chance to make a difference and she failed.
Its time to bring on the politic of Obama.

I will not vote for Hillary.. No matter what happens.
I will not vote for McCain.. No matter what happens
I will vote for Obama, because he is going to bring a change.
I believe in what he has to offer..
I don't want no quick fix on the gas prices.
I want some changes on the gas prices.

Educated Voter = Not Hillary   May 2nd, 2008 6:39 pm ET

This is good news for Hillary, but I'm still waiting on the highly-coveted Sinbad endorsement. That will really put me over the top to vote for her...

H Martin   May 2nd, 2008 6:39 pm ET

And this is news why?

Kim   May 2nd, 2008 6:39 pm ET

Okay Then! Now Hillary is supported by the very old who think a Black man has to use the back door to enter the White House. The uneducated and ignorant who also think the same . And now Crazy old Hollywood has beens. A coalition is forming. Now gather in the Hitler Youth. Add the right wing nut jobs who are impressed by Hillary's Nuke Iran threat. And any other Racists that just cannot sleep at night thinking that a fine, honest,intelligent Man might become President. Now we have the NEW DEMOCRATS and their standard bearer Hillary (Bush lite ) Clinton.

John Driscoll   May 2nd, 2008 6:39 pm ET

This is the same chick that thinks Michael Jackson is such a great guy!

She is NOT a good role Model for My girls, or my grandaughters..I am sure we will see a woman elected President down the Road, BUT she is NOT the One !!!! We need change, and Hope and Unity in this Country, and Hillary is NOT going to be doing that.... OBAMA will Will win the Nomination ,and Once again , Please stay OUT of this Election... Obama 08

Calif Dreamin'   May 2nd, 2008 6:38 pm ET

All these celebrities who are waking up from their political comas need to be quiet. No one cares. Their choices hold as much creedance as The Man On The Moon. And I'm insulted that they think we can't think for ourselves and that somehow we need their help. Give me a break.

aware   May 2nd, 2008 6:38 pm ET

Right Elizabeth!

Hillary Clinton the smart choice 2008 and 2012! :)

Obama, the freshman senator, is too inept, too dishonest, too elitist and lacks judgment/credibility. He keeps some very questionable company and says some very questionable things behind closed doors. He is extremely slow to respond – 20 years? Also, for a campaign with a mantra of unity, his bloggers/supporters are just plain mean! :(

The far left media doesn't get to decide for America on their far left choice!

America is centrist and will vote accordingly in the General Election!

Elizabeth   May 2nd, 2008 6:38 pm ET

I agree with you Lize I see things the same way you do. Hillary is our only hope. Please North Carolina and Indiana vote for her. I dont think you will be sorry

David D Kollie   May 2nd, 2008 6:37 pm ET

Being a president is not an actress' job. Hillary is a good actress but not for the presidency. She lied three time about Bosnia and said she misspoke. Actors and actresses misspeak and inpersonate. Hillary should not be misspeaking when men and women of the United States military are putting their lives on the line each day abroad.

Fran Martin   May 2nd, 2008 6:37 pm ET

In certain circles, Clinton may not be a flibbertijibbet, but on no account can she be considered a hortonwillersnit. I hardly see how we can back someone who actually lacks definition.

NO OBAMA EVER!   May 2nd, 2008 6:36 pm ET

Get ready for the Obama morons to flood this with irrelevant comments and lies. Guess what Obama? You are your supporters and today they spread around a doctored video for you – how disgusting. If you win, I can't wait to abandon the Democratic party and vote McCain – I will EVEN CONTRIBUTE TO HIS CAMPAIGN JUST TO SEE YOU LOSE. AND I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE!

Victor in NC   May 2nd, 2008 6:36 pm ET

Hillary has problems that will cause her to take focus off the coutry.. Hint (Jail) Peter Paul Case is a big issue.

Hillary is a lier
Hillary is said, God Bless the Rich..
So no wonder she has Eliz Taylor backing her.. She is rich too..
So naturally she would want Hillary to win..

Poor people like me need a president to help us, not drain our wallets to cover the taxes for the Rich.

Down with Hillary

female grad student, NYC   May 2nd, 2008 6:36 pm ET

Leo from NV   May 2nd, 2008 6:34 pm ET

Thank you Mrs. Taylor.
I know you will get disgusting attacks from the acid tongue Obama supporters for your comment. But again, tough ladies like you and Mrs. Clinton are probably used to these cruel attacks.

Ken   May 2nd, 2008 6:34 pm ET

Yeah, because the endorsement of a 76 year old actress actually counts. I can't wait until Michael Jackson and his monkey endorse John McCain.

Venus The Super star   May 2nd, 2008 6:33 pm ET

I'm glad one of these celebrity backers are actually paying attention to the issues that actually matter. I say good choice, she actually picked someone that has solutions that would not only change but benefit the American people.

Lorna, NY   May 2nd, 2008 6:33 pm ET

Is she still alive?

GL   May 2nd, 2008 6:33 pm ET

She's still alive? Is she a superdelegate? If not, who cares....

CNN- Can we possibly get some news today?

Tenicka   May 2nd, 2008 6:33 pm ET

Wow, that'll really persuade me. Is she serious?

White voter for Obama   May 2nd, 2008 6:33 pm ET

Clinton is not a strong, independent woman. She is nothing more than a feminist doormat. Most women with far fewer resources would not have stayed with a spouse like Bill Clinton. But she needs his filthy lucre and network to get what she wants. Heaven help this country if they return to the White House.

Janice   May 2nd, 2008 6:32 pm ET

Go back to sleep Lizzie. Your comments mean nothing to the world.

RJL for CHANGE   May 2nd, 2008 6:32 pm ET

Well, Liz, everyone can change their mind once the honeymoon is over... you did. The honeymoon for Hillary was over a long time ago... it's time for a divorce.

Beverly, NYC   May 2nd, 2008 6:32 pm ET

Definitely will be following this advice, NOT!!! Don't need advice from someone who has been married 8 times. She will probably switch to Obama on Monday. Stich to what you know dear, writing checks and getting rice in your hair.

ObamaSupporters   May 2nd, 2008 6:32 pm ET

Sallie Mae, Ex-Hillary Supporter   May 2nd, 2008 6:31 pm ET

Hillary is a smart liar who knows how to bend, manipulate, cover up and distort the truth. But the voters in Indiana, North Carolina and the rest of America are on to her! What she fails to realize is that we can think for ourselves. We're smart, too! Say NO to Hillary Clinton and the politics of the past! ANYBODY BUT HILLARY IN '08!

I'm Sallie Mae and I approve this message!

OBAMA '08

H Martin   May 2nd, 2008 6:31 pm ET

GO LIZ! GO HILLS!

H Martin   May 2nd, 2008 6:30 pm ET

Again just another old woman who wants to see a woman in the oval office.

Obama would be better than Clinton could ever hope to be. We need a leader who is truthful not one who lies every time she opens her mouth.

mary   May 2nd, 2008 6:30 pm ET

Boy. An old actress who has had all sorts of drug and alcohol problems, been a big supporter and pal of Michael Jackson a pedophile.
. WOW.
Why in the world should that influence Me??? It is more significant that Clinton cabinet members have come out for Obama! And more Senators support Obama over Clinton having served with both.

Belle   May 2nd, 2008 6:30 pm ET

What in the world is a flibberttiget?

Any way...Liz, you are one the best actresses of all time! You go girl!

Jenny   May 2nd, 2008 6:30 pm ET

Ok so Elizabeth Taylor slept with how many married men? and Married Bill Clinton slept with how many women? and Hillary stayed with him to further her political carreer? No wonder they stick together.

None of the 3 have any morals and I don't want that kind of morals back in the White House.

Shawn from Kansas   May 2nd, 2008 6:30 pm ET

This endorsement should carry some major weight !!!! Guess Obama has been knocked out. I didnt know Ms Taylor was still alive... I just dont keep up with those elitists..........

Shannon   May 2nd, 2008 6:30 pm ET

Liz, you have it exactly right, Hillary is the best hope for this country!

s.positive   May 2nd, 2008 6:30 pm ET

Andy, N.C.   May 2nd, 2008 6:28 pm ET

Elizabeth Taylor is as old as the Old Politics she supports.

Sharon from Dallas   May 2nd, 2008 6:28 pm ET

I wouldn't listen to Elizabeth Taylor if she was the last person on earth. How many times has she been married? She does not have very good judgement in her choices of men let alone tell others who to endorse for president.....Go Obama!!!!

Griff   May 2nd, 2008 6:28 pm ET

The Lady who won, The Grand National.. Maybe she help in this Race.

marie   May 2nd, 2008 6:27 pm ET

If Elizabeth Taylor is jumping into the ring, Michael Jackson is next. Point taken in judgement – I'm definitely voting for Obama!

SO?!?! Liz Taylor did ONE good movie (no, not Cleopatra). Even if she'd done A HUNDRED good movies, who in the hell cares what she thinks?!?! That's like saying, "Vote Obama - George Clooney says he's neat!"

hillaryskank on myspace   May 2nd, 2008 6:26 pm ET

Thanks Lizzy.....National Velveeta is now going in the trash where it belongs

Hillary is NOT tearing apart the democratic party. Hillary is doing just what any Clinton does— take advantage of any situation given to them (e.g., Monica L., Sniper-fire; NAFTA, Michigan and FL votes etc.).

The real people splitting this party are the "bilnd" and uneducated supporters of Hillary. How can Hillary, with more negatives than any politican (except Gov. Bush), ever run a successful general election in this nation? The Republicans and Independents are praying for that day to come!!! We will have to thank, not Hillary (because she will be off somewhere with her $109 million), but her "bird-brain" supporters
