Three people who are considered “celebrities” of some sort - America Ferrera, John Legend, and Will.I.Am (WTF?) - all appeared on “Larry King Live” on Friday night. The topic, ostensibly, was the importance of the “youth” vote in the 2008 Presidential Election. Let’s see…which of those three celebrities supported Mitt Romney? Or Ron Paul? Or Mike Huckabee? Or the eventual Republican nominee, John McCain? Nope…not one of them. All three support the Democratic candidates: the gal is cheering for Clinton, and the guys are rooting for Obama.

So which celebrities did Larry King invite on his program to talk about how important it is for young people to vote for Republicans? *crickets chirp*

Oh, but it’s probably because there isn’t a trendy, hip, suave music video singing the praises of any Republican candidate, unlike the “Yes We Can” video on behalf of the Obama campaign. And you can tell that the Yes We Can video is genuine, true, authentic, sincere, and moving, because (from the clip that I saw) it’s done in black-and-white, and shows serious faces of young people and celebrities. It must be Important and Mean Something. That’s why it was featured on Larry King’s show.

The good folks over at the Right Wing Nut House have obtained an advance copy of John McCain’s speech that he will deliver to CPAC today. It is pretty funny, cause parts of it are true, if somewhat painful…but I’m slowly coming to terms with McCain as the Republican nominee, warts and all. Of course he doesn’t hit all of the right notes - none of the candidates do or did. But I will not vote for the Democrat nominee nor sit at home on election day. Whatever flaws McCain has, he also has many strengths, and is the only remaining viable candidate to challenge the Dems at this point. I won’t even hold my nose when I vote, because at this point, winning the election - not party purity - is what matters.
