Madonna Endorses Clark

[Jerseycoa]

Just came over CNN. (no link)

[Patriot_Spear]

1. That's great.

Good for Wesley.

[Jack_Dawson]

45. Itz better than great

First of all...is it true? I haven't seen an article yet. But let's say it is. Madonna, while I'm not exactly an avid fan...is a huge star and many non-political types might sit up and take notice where maybe before they wouldn't. Maybe a few dozen register to vote. Maybe a few dozen get engaged where they weren't engaged before.

Plus, this dims the wattage of Al Bore's premature ejac from last week.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

60. This is the bombshell General is been waiting for.

Holi-i-da-ay!

[Cocoa]

2. I hope she called Lieberman first

:-)

[plcdude]

4. no kidding

Joe must go Joe must go Joe must go. What a cry baby

[edzontar]

29. LOL!!!! I'm not sure Joe ever expected Madonna's endorsement

He is always ranting and raving about media moraility and hollywood and all that.

Which is one of the reasons I do not like him very much.

[Liberal Veteran]

15. I heard Joe will be on CMT tonight to complain bitterly about Madonna...

...endorsing Clark.

[knight_of_the_star]

24. ROFLMAO!!!

That is great!

[ibegurpard]

36. Bwahahahaha!

:toast:

[slinkerwink]

3. that's nice.

[wuushew]

5. Why is this news?

Just another no talent hack

[slinkerwink]

7. because Madonna's a famous musician and almost everyone knows her

[Patriot_Spear]

12. She's very big in Europe.

Congratulations to Wesley.

[DS1]

67. jeez, that's handy

:wtf:

[Melodybe]

21. Jeesh, cuz she has one of the most recognizable names in the world.

Whether you like it or not, she is one of the most known people in the world. Her endorsement is a valuable one. Don't come here just to start flame wars. Support your candidate until the primaries, then the nominee. When you come here and say stuff like that you only cause problems and alienate potential voters. Divide and conquer, just like Uncle Karl wants you to do.

[liberalpragmatist]

32. It's cool and all...

... but you're wrong to say it's a valuable endorsement. I highly doubt that ANYBODY votes based on who Madonna endorses. This isn't a flame, merely a statement of the facts.

Now if you can show me someone who DOES then by all means, I lose and you win, but I'm not anticipating that happening.

[Jack_Dawson]

46. Actually, it means a lot

I can tell you for a fact, living in California, there are many many many people who voted for Arnold because he was Arnold. That is one degree away from voting for someone Arnold endorses. Star Power carries more weight outside political circles than you might think.

[VermontDem2004]

52. I agree alot of people voted for Arnold because he was Arnold

But I think maybe less then 1% voted for Arnold based on who endorsed him and as I am aware quite a few celebrities endorsed Arnold.

[in_cog_ni_to]

70. This is important because Madonna

is filthy rich, has friends who are filthy rich and they, hopefully, will give $$$$ to his campaign. :bounce:

Thank You, Madonna!

[roguevalley]

80. she can facilitate more fundraisers, etc. creds among the youth.

[DoveTurnedHawk]

22. You're Not Bitter, Are You? Can You Say "Million Dollar Fundraiser"?

I knew you could!

DTH

[maddezmom]

43. Hope there will be more than one!!!

Go Wes. BTW, I'm not a huge fan of Madonna, but I'm glad she's on Clark's side.

[jumptheshadow]

72. Bingo

1) Million dollar fundraiser(s).

2) Publicity galore. Perhaps the "at least you spelled my name right" type of media play. But better than being ignored.

3) Access to some of the most sophisticated marketing and production facilities in the world. Access to a woman who is no slouch when it comes to reading the public.

4) A lot of folks hate Madonna. But a lot of them like her, too.

5) You get a "cool" factor that competes favorably with the "geek swimming in Taco Bell wrappers" image of the Dean campaign.

[Cleita]

6. And........?

[deutsey]

8. BREAKING: Marcus is caught impersonating Madonna!

:evilgrin:

[VermontDem2004]

10. rotflmao

:evilgrin:

[janx]

13. Me too!

Where'd that guy go, anyway?

[edzontar]

31. That Damn Marcus!!!!

He'll do anything to support his candidate!!!

I am SO sick of that guy.....

[DemOutWest]

9. Does he

get a kiss? Britney did.

[VermontDem2004]

11. So did Christina

Maybe Christina and Britney are on the waiting list to endorse Clark, wait a minute Britney said we should trust our President.

[knight_of_the_star]

25. lol

I think Gert might have a problem with that. Maybe Madonna will kiss her instead...

[edzontar]

35. HMMMM, This endorsement is getting more interesting....

If Wesley makes girl-girl sex a part of his campaign, maybe he will finally get some "traction"...

[knight_of_the_star]

38. I should watch my mouth!

I didn't know that there were so many people in here who thought that way!

:hands edzontar some soap: You have a dirty mind. Clean it!

[edzontar]

41. I'm sorry--it has been a long day and my wife is late to pick me up...

Gee, is this becoming one of thoese "sex threads"?

[knight_of_the_star]

57. It's all good!

I've been accused of the same thing myself!

[Jerseycoa]

14. Calm down, children

It's news. I don't pull this juvenile horseshit on Dean's endorsements, but keep it up. I learn fast.

[janx]

16. Congratulations to the General. He is a fine man and

deserves high-level endorsements.

[VermontDem2004]

18. No one is bashing Clark

Just having a little fun talking about Madonna. :P

[incapsulated]

17. Way better than Gore!

[VermontDem2004]

19. I never heard Gore sing

How is he as a singer? :P

[incapsulated]

20. I don't know but...

I doubt he could pull the bustier thing off. :)

[edzontar]

33. Indeed. I am glad for Clark.

Maybe his campaign will become "hot" now...

[Ilsa]

50. I've never heard him sing, but he makes a great

Frankenstein for Halloween. I remember seeing a picture of him in costume on the phone having a serious talk with Bill Clinton over an international-policy-somethin'-sumpin'-sum'in.

Haven't you guys heard? Madonna is a hot mamma and author of children's books now. Totally respectable. Well, almost totally.

I'm happy if she's throwing million dollar fundraisers for him.

[edzontar]

47. Your picture does not lie.

HMMMMM.

[demgrrrl2004]

23. Big news!

This is great news for Clark! Say what you want about Madonna, but she's a very smart, articulate person. Plus, she has a HUGE following. Maybe one larger than Gore!

[chimpymustgo]

27. LOL - she can sure bring in some bucks, too. Go Wes!

nt

[knight_of_the_star]

30. This could be good

Now if she can convince her fan base to vote for Wes, we'll be in great shape.

[DrFunkenstein]

26. The Mother Of Christ?

That's going to be a huge bump, especially this close to Christmas!

[DoveTurnedHawk]

34. LOL!

Now THAT'S funny! :D

DTH

[knight_of_the_star]

37. LOL!!!!!

That was GREAT!!!

[Jerseycoa]

39. Good One

B-)

[jumptheshadow]

75. That's the funniest thing

I ever read on this board.

You just made the partner laugh, too.

[Rowdyboy]

82. Ok, so I'm reading this semi-serious thread, minding my own business

when I see something that cracks me up so severely, I nearly wake up my partner in the next room.

If Christ's mother doesn't trump the Gore endorsement, NOTHING WILL!

Thanks for your slightly warped interpretation...

Now I await the endorsements of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost :evilgrin:

[cally]

28. This is great news!

She's a great endorsment to have with her name recognition. :bounce:

[West Coast Democrat]

40. I Still Support Clark Anyway

:-)

[HuckleB]

65. Smile!

:)

[BJ]

42. The Pentagon's new secret weapon

[maddezmom]

44. OMG, is that really Madonna? n/t

[Jerseycoa]

64. Eeeeeeewwwwww

I guess I haven't looked in a while.

[webkev]

48. We need some more endorsements like this

[VermontDem2004]

51. Not a flame

But I doubt people will vote for Wesley simply because Madonna endorsed him. One of my favorite political figures Gregory Meeks endorsed John Kerry but that hasn't affected my views on Kerry the least bit.

[Tom Rinaldo]

54. Mostly it helps Clark's fundraising

Also adds a little luster to his own stars so to speak. Most Generals don't get major pop star backing. Madonna certainly knows people with money, and having taken the step of endorcing Clark, she will probably try to help him connect with more money.

[webkev]

55. it's still cool though

Clarkis already popular with young people, which is apparent when he won the "rock the vote" mtv competition

hopefully this will help

[maddezmom]

58. I admire Gore and voted for him, but his endorsement didn't sway me either

Still want Wes Clark in the White House.

[jonnyblitz]

49. Congrats to the Clark folks! This is a good thing.

Despite what anybody's opinion is of Madonna she is one of THE major pop icons of our time and when she does something people pay attention. This is a very positive thing for Clark and his campaign. :toast:

[bicentennial_baby]

53. Thank You Jonny

We appreciate your Congrats! :toast:

[CalebHayes]

56. Hell yeah!!!

Thank god!

[bluestateguy]

59. One of the most talented musicians of our time

She is also very bright. She knows more about politics than most of the Bushbots I have ever met.

Now maybe she can straighten out her friend Britney Spears.

[sujan]

61. One more reason

to not vote for him.

[Jerseycoa]

62. That's what I like

Courtesy, graciousness, good will. aaaaaaahhhhhhh

66. excuse me,

I believe that title belongs to Ms Britney Spears.

I think the endorsement is great - it shows that Clark has a broad range of appeal (no pun intended on broad,of course, she is reputed to be quite bright and obviously motivated, and she can bring in bucks and attention.

71. Bucks $$$ n/t

[Field Of Dreams]

68. Welcome to the Clark side Madonna...

now, throw some of those big Hollywood-style fundraisers. You can bring your children's books, but leave the cone-bra thingy at home!

:toast:

[CWebster]

74. lol

Ooouuuu, I am so impressed. She has as much chance of jumpstarting her career by kissing Brittany.

[jumptheshadow]

77. Isn't there a Birkenstock sale somewhere?

She has money and she's connected.

[in_cog_ni_to]

78. Look at the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ n/t

[Red_Storm]

76. You Go Girl !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Frederic Bastiat]

79. Material Girl has better timing than Al Gore

Couldn't resist :-)

[Piperay]

81. YIPEEEEE

that's TERRIFIC!!!! :bounce:

[RetroLounge]

83. This is good for Clark

All those little Madonna-Wannabes with their jelly bracelets and bullet bras are now old enough to vote.

Maybe now Clark will remain on the Borderline of the Polls.

Maybe she'll be his Lucky Star.

Or they can take a Holiday together.

Of course, since he just recently registered as a Democrat. he's kinda Like a Virgin in all this political stuff.

Thank you. I'm here till Thursday. Try the veal...

[gate of the sun]

84. she also supports the gap

by doing commercials for them it means very little that she is endorsing Clark at this point she has lost all credibility by doing a commercial for the gap.

[TrueAmerican]

85. And we all know Oprah is a close personal friend of Madonna.

Oprah is next! Clark/Winfrey 2004!

[BootinUp]

86. Madonna's ok

She has expressed her opposition to the war and Bushie before. I'm glad she is on the right side and hope some of her fans will take notice, and then take a look at the General.
