Hulk Hogan backs Barack Obama
(CNN) - Until this week, it looked like Republicans might have a lock on the famous tough guy demographic this year: Mike Huckabee has hit the campaign trail with martial arts star Chuck Norris and WWE star Ric Flair, and John McCain got the nod of approval from Rambo himself, Sylvester Stallone.
But on Tuesday, as his home state headed to the polls, Florida resident Terry Bollea Hulk Hogan to millions of wrestling fans announced his own presidential pick: Democrat Barack Obama.
During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Bollea was asked who he would like to see in the Oval Office. "If I had to step out, and say who I really believe in - that catches my ear, that makes sense, that really can make a change - I would say Obama," he replied.
"Everybody plays this card - the bad guy card, you know the dirty politics thing, talk about the way people dress, act and look - and, he's the choice. He seems like the real deal, you know."
Florida's Democratic vote, which awarded no delegates, went to New York Sen. Hillary Clinton.

PLEASE...SPARE ME.
HILLARY ALL THE WAY TO THE WHITE HOUSE.
I think The guy from 7-11 down on Main street is backing Obama also....you want to call him for a statement??
Haha. It's funny. We will take it too. Go Obama.
Great news:) Too funny
Obama 08' to Dominate
Ron Paul is the most overlooked candidate on the ballot. If he was given the chance to speak, to answer questions and share with the people his vision~he would have so many more backers. Hes telling the truth, he knows what needs to be done in Washington. He can get the economy back on track. Romeny cant do it and neither can McCain. The best ticket would be Ron Paul and Mike Huckabee together supporting American!
This is now turning into a circus.
wow... this is retarded. yes.. i'll listen to a washed up former pro wrestler.. i'm sure he is just brilliant.
Breaking news: Obama gets endorsement from Mickey & MIni Mouse.
Dennis Hof, owner of the Moonlite BunnyRanch is raising money for Ron Paul, John Mayer is making videos endorsing him and Hulk Hogan answering a question on who he is voting for is Obama "needing a celebrity endorsement"? Riiight.
Finally! An endorsement with some true political clout! 🙂
Now I convinced! Yes, if the hulk is for Obama that so I am I, darn it. Ha-Ha!!! That is how I chose who to vote for. Could it be that he came out because his employer VH1 is owned by CNN (and we all know how much CNN wants to put him in office). CNN, your bias is becoming too much. Go Hillary!!!
Well, we already know who Mr. Kennedy is endorsing....
i think that the president of the us is the most under reted job in the world
so y not let obama get in office
Hulk Hogan a right to his opinion. He made a wise decision. The rabid response from some seems indicative of a larger problem. You know, the one that has haunted this country for over 400 years. Barack Obama's election would go a very long way toward making America the kind of country it could be......one nation, undivided with liberty and justice for all. It is, I suppose, understandable that the same forces that benefit from division would oppose his election and say silly stuff on boards like this in an attempt maintain their corrupt advantage.
In a fallen world filled with people on a stage saying "like me! like me!" but their words speak half truths... what is the point in getting mad because a celebrity endorses someone! Seriously!
I don't believe CNN posted the news to sway people's opinion... it is just fun and interesting to see people what people have to say. Our opinions are being posted as news... why not his?
Seriously, to get mad b/c CNN posted that news is ridiculous.... unless of course you never speak to anyone that finds your story uninteresting.
Again Bloggers for Hilary!!

Twenty years of yuk!!
GO OBAMA, WE NEED YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MIKE GET OVER IT AND GET A LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Come on. What cares?
You should have covered Edwards campiagn more.
seriously.... The news has multi media outlets covering a wide variety of daily instances... so what if CNN reported on Hulks approval of Obama... Not every part of the news needs to cover all the horrors and atrocities being commited. Learn to be less pessimistic ppl.
This Just In – Homeless lady under I-95 Bridge is Backing Obama also..More on story to come latter!!
CNN....the best Team IN News!
whatever!!
Joe – that is aweful to use animals as a figure of speech to endorse someone who you think would lead this country. So your view is the dog would eat the cat and the parakeet wouldn't tell who did it. That is just like the Clinton's, throw a brick and hide their hand. Good luck with the animals but Obama could care less because he is thinking an focusing on winning.
Obama 08
THIS IS AWESOME!!!
GO OBAMA!!!
GO OBAMA!!!
WITH HULK'S ENDORSEMENT, OBAMA WILL ACTUALLY GET A LOT MORE VOTES!!!
HILLARY IS TOAST!!
GO OBAMA!!
The saddest thing about americans in general is that you fell for the greatest sucker puncher, you started believing your own hype, you so felt the need to believe you were relevent to in this world that you let one man, sorry stupid imbicile destroy any ounce
of credibilty that you had in the world.
Obama is your best bet for the simply reason that he offers america a way forward, a face that of a man who is intelligent has travelled and embodies what america is today, this is not the wild west where you can go in guns blazing.
The truth is very few people actual like you and a lot would love to see you go even deeper into recession, but the really sad thing is that you had in your power to prevent this happening and you chose to sot back and do nothing.
Now you have another chance to do SOMETHING or do NOTHING AGAIN.
I heard THE ROCK is endorsing Obama too! I think The Rock plus Hogan can take on Sly and Norris. I feel a "People's Elbow" comin on for hillary!
Hey Hillary –
CAN YOU SMELLLLLLLL .......WHAT........ BARACK....... IS COOKIN"???????
