...because Hollywood relates so well to average Americans...
MILWAUKEE (ABC News)
– After thousands of ads, hundreds of stump speeches and a record war
chest of campaign cash, President Obama is banking on a final burst of
star power to boost his get-out-the-vote effort in the final 72 hours of
the 2012 presidential campaign.
As Obama and his top surrogates – Vice President Joe Biden, first
lady Michelle Obama and former President Clinton – barnstorm the
battlegrounds this weekend, they will have a cast of Hollywood stars and
music icons at their sides.
The pairings are aimed at driving turnout, particularly among young
and minority voters, while bolstering enthusiasm in a handful of key
states where polls show the presidential race very close.
Here in Wisconsin, Obama will be joined by multi-platinum singer Katy
Perry, who appeared with the president at a midnight rally in Las Vegas
last week wearing a white “ballot” dress. Later in Dubuque, Iowa,
rocker John Mellencamp will perform, and actress Kate Walsh of ABC’s
“Private Practice” and “Grey’s Anatomy” will address the crowd.
Dave Matthews will open for Obama at a late-night rally in Bristow,
Va., where the president will also unite for the first time on the 2012
campaign trail with Bill Clinton....
