Thread Name: BS: Popular Views on Obama
Subject: RE: BS: Popular Views on Obama
Correction:

The "Yes We Can" music video whose link I included in my 02 Feb 08 - 08:58 AM post to this thread is based on Barack Obama's New Hampshire primary concession speech and not his South Carolina primary victory speech.

Here's some more endorsement news-Maria Shriver, wife of the [Republican] governor of California, Arnold Schwartzenegger [sp?] publicly endorsed Barack Obama at the UCLA rally held today that featured Michelle Obama, Caroline Kennedy [her married name?], and Oprah Winfrey.

This was a surprise endorsement. It's bound to get huge coverage throughout the California [and national] news media, and probably will have some effect on the already tight primary race between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

Stevie Wonder was also at that abovementioned UCLA rally. He also endorsed Barack Obama.

Joan Baez also endorsed Barack Obama through a letter she sent to a San Francisco newspaper. Baez wrote that, though she had been asked to do so many times, she had never endorsed any other political candidate. Yet, she did so because she believed in Barack Obama's candidacy.
