Political Play of the Day: Edwards enlists some star power in New Hampshire

[Nutmegger]

HAMPTON, N.H.: John Edwards got some campaign help Monday from baseball groupie Annie Savoy and pitching phenom Ebby Calvin "Nuke" LaLoosh.

Better known as actors Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins, the couple who starred in the 1988 movie "Bull Durham" campaigned for the Democratic presidential candidate in New Hampshire.

Robbins offered the same rift that he delivered for Iowa voters, criticizing the saturation coverage of pop stars such as Britney Spears at the expense of real news. He urged people to imagine a world in which paparazzi ditch Hollywood and instead focus on working mothers, returning war veterans and construction workers.

"It's what the people that don't have microphones in front of them what they know, that's important," Robbins said as he paced a small stage surrounded by the crowd, which spilled up a staircase.

They have been fighting the good fight for a long time. Nice to see them on John's side.

so guess i have to vote for edwards. in all seriousness, if edwards somehow does pull a win out, i'd be happy to vote for him as president. if hillary comes back from the dead(she already looks like a zombie ) i'd vote for her, but i wouldn't be happy about it.
