Hollywood For Obama & Romney: Star Surrogates Out On Final Campaign Day
Hollywood has been one of Barack Obama’s biggest supporters during this Presidential campaign, and with less than 24 hours until polls open, the town is out today knocking on doors, hitting the stage and picking up the phone for the incumbent. Mad Men’s Jon Hamm, longtime supporter Eva Longoria, Parks And Recreation‘s Rashida Jones and Natalie Portman are just a few of the 181 surrogates on the trail today, according to a list released by the Obama campaign (see the full list below). Mitt Romney has star support on the final day of the campaign too: American Bible Challenge host and comedian Jeff Foxworthy, Fight Club’s Meat Loaf, Kid Rock and the Oak Ridge Boys will be performing at Republican rallies today.
Not all Obama surrogates are from Hollywood — Bill Clinton, John Kerry and a lot of mayors are on the list — but many are. The Dark Knight Rises’ Ann Hathaway, who co-hosted a fundraiser for Obama at Harvey Weinstein’s Connecticut home in August, and The Avengers’ Scarlett Johansson, who spoke at the Democratic Convention this year, will be heard on Top 40 radio. Samuel L Jackson, who has been blunt about his support, and Chris Rock are calling into black radio stations, and Maggie Gyllenhaal will be out supporting Obama as she has before this year. Her brother Jake Gyllenhaal, who was the victim of a fake Twitter account last month that had the liberal actor endorsing Romney, is making his Obama 2012 debut today.
Bruce Springsteen just opened for the President at a Wisconsin rally this morning. Other musicians out for Obama today include Jay-Z, who co-hosted a NYC fundraiser for Obama with wife Beyoncé last month; Katy Perry; John Legend; and Ice Cube. Here’s the full list of Obama surrogates:
