It doesn't matter to Republicans, who sacrificed their humor for $$$.

George Lopez is not funny. Alex Raymundo is funnier...

Who is George Lopez?

And more importantly, why should I care who George Lopez is? Is this the guy who trains dogs on cable?

Thanks in advance....

Hell yeah George Lopez! Kings of Latin Comedy star! The man is a great figure in the Latino community. He has done some amazing comedy pieces dealing with all kinds of immigrant issues in the US and the world. He is one of the greats and Im so glad to see him supporting Obama. OBAMA 08 all the way!

TurnThePageGa, that was a clever reply!Spirited Dona says-- I support George Lopez as my favorite only child, Hispanic, comedian, and Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton has my former, nerdy, hippie chick, idol as the Next President of the United States of America! George can keep Barack laughing, win or loose!

Looks like it's Ugly Betty for HRC and Uglier George for BHO. Is Johnny Rodriguez still W's favorite singer? To the Latino community: here's your seat at the political table....do you still want it?

Uh, as far as influence among Hispanics is concerned, isn't George Lopez the latino Wayne Brady?

Now if he could get Carlos Mencia he'd really be on a roll.

Carlos Mencia isnt a good endorsement. He steels material from other comedians like no tomorrow and thinks racism and sexism is just hilarious no matter how poorly constructed the punch line. You can do racism in an ironic way that is funny to make a point but his stuff is just pretty much like his main alter ego, retarded.

Hahaha. Funny man. Believes a celebrity endorsement means something to those of us who live real lives.

Most celebrities dont think much of their own endorsements unless they are politicians. Its the media and the people who flip out and start saying screw you we dont care what you think when in actuality people do. Because people pay attention to celebrities especially in the United States where they are put on such a high pedestal. Ie Oprah endorsing Obama was a big deal for women who consider her to be an educated adviser on issues dealing with women. George Lopez on the other hand is a very well informed Latino comedian who is a great figure in the community. Good on him for endorsing and long live his freedom to do so. Bottom line, people pay attention to celebrity endorsements because these people are figures/leaders that others model themselves after.

Dora dora dora....George is viewed with great respect and love by Mexican Americans...and that will help hugely with Mexican American males...

It might. If his success is looked upon as an heroic achievement by the Mexicans, his endorsement might play big in Texas. In any event, I suspect it won't hurt.

I live in Texas, and, I assure you, there is a difference between Mexican and Mexican-American. Maybe, you hadn't noticed. By the way, George Lopez's show was a bomb, even among Mexican-Americans. I doubt that his endorsement will move many votes.

Well,
the reality there are few Mexican Americans who call their own shots on their own television show...if you think he has had that show for so long because he has a majority of whites watching him then I have an island to sell you. He is enormously popular among Mexican Americans...as our most stars from mexican heritage...

If his show is so popular, why is it only seen in late night reruns?
