Angelina Jolie Endorsement Sought By Both Obama, McCain Campaigns

Wilshire and Washington:

It may seem as if most entertainment industry figures are aligning with Barack Obama and just a few with John McCain, but there are still a handful of famous names who are still on the fence. And both campaigns are well aware of one star who stands out among the undecideds: Angelina Jolie.

Both campaigns have reached out to her, apparently to court her support. But in a statement to Variety provided by political adviser Trevor Neilson, Jolie says that she is waiting to make up her mind.

Huffpo... PLEASE!!!

Some writer says.."bot­h camps are "APPARENTLY" seeking her endorsemen­t... Then your article parades the headline " BOTH CAMP SEEK JOLIE ENDORSEMENT"- attempting to make this a TRUE STATEMENT.
Apparently???? According to WHOM????????????

Why do you keep trying to PRESS JOLIE TO FRONT PAGE?

It's really quite possible that AMERICA IS OVER THOSE 2!

Give us a break!!!!!

H-Post knows that they can create a lot of excitement going between the AJ addicts and protaganiists. It seems to engender worlds of posts and everyone has a great time. So let the venting go on. H knows when they have a winner.

So true! Brangelina is the best soap opera of this century so far. Let's all enjoy it because it's just so much fun. The snarky commentary between the two camps makes it frighteningly addictive.

HuffPo, make sure you let me know when Jolie decides who she's going to vote for so I can follow her lead. I'm such a huge fan that I'll let her sway my vote that will affect my life. PLEASE!!! Who cares who Angelina is voting for. The "celebrities" think they are so important and that people actually care what they think.

[FdeBear]

WHY????? Who the hell do they think she is - OPRAH?

[ShamusNYC]

I'd be surprised - Clooney's firmly for O & Jolie's 'political advisor' is Trevor Neilson - who's for O and writes for this site!

[demfriend]

Ok angie just had twin babies and I just cannot believe that these two candidates are holding their breath waiting for her to decide which one she likes? Who wrote this and who the hell belives this? Stupid is as stupid writes....­.

I was just thinking the same thing, you however, said it perfectly.

I am happy to report that while we are waiting for Jolie to tell us for whom we should vote... Billy Mays of OxiClean fame has come out with his endorsement:

"Billy Mays here with a new great product!!!!! Here are years of ground in political grunge... ruining your view of the American dream!!!! Now with Poli-clear, you can see the dream for yourself!!!!! Just a quick trip to the voting booth, a check next to Obama... and the dream is yours!!!!!!!!!!" (As he wipes the cloudly film off the camera lens so we can see him clearly)

Meanwhile, Neve Cambell has released a comment through her own Political Advisor that she will be bringing her dog to one of the McCain and Obama debates; will be letting the dog loose and which-ever person he sniffs first will get her vote.

It sounds just as crazy and hilarious as the candidates "seeking" Angelina Jolie's endorsement!!

[barackobama4prez]

OMG...Amer­icans are so stupid. Waiting for a celebrity to make up her mind before you do. Angie has time to wait...she­'s rich bytch!

[EggsBolinski]

I am glad to hear that at least she is not a knee jerk liberal leftie. I have a feeling she preferred Hillary.

[CKieffer]

Actually, she was a John Edwards fan.

[happycat]

Oh great, so was I. Look how well that turned out! Boo hoo!

[scorpioleidy]

Come on, Angie ... give it up for BO !!!

[mypov123]

I highly doubt she'll vote for McCain, she's probably already decided on voting for Obama. But she's portraying as if she's still undecided because she knows how most Americans feel about celebrity endorsements, and she doesn't want to be perceived as just another Hollywood celebrity jumping on the Obama bandwagon.

[americanwomaninpa]

Her father is voting for McCain.

[McChimp]

her father whom she hates and never talks to...

[SlippingInTheDip]

This no longer is about Jolie and her PuPs. Made up stories by greedy Mags. This is a "Cash Cow" for the internet Mags. Cha..Ching­......Cha.­..Ching...­...Cha Ching.

What? Just exactly who cares what A J thinks about politics? This is ridiculous. Why not write a piece about who Mickey Mouse wants to endorse?

[freedomisabsolute]

Her endorsement is weightless with educated knowledgeable voters, but don't pretend that many Americans don't look up to these people. Also she is not just an actress she is a humanitarian who has had audience with some of the most powerful people in the world. While I am not going to defend them wanting her endorsement. I think you are being silly. Mickey Mouse, you could have said Miley Cyrus or something a little more comparable. Who cares what you think, what have you done to merit a valid opinion?

[StephenBarry]

Will she be paid more than she was for the baby pictures ? Why do people worship these useless actors ?

[Kimberly46]

Geeze ... picking on Jolie is not the thing here.

Picking on the MSM for making a story out of this is the right way.

For crying out loud, this is totally ridicoulous.
