The "Hollywood Left" deserves some thanks!

Eva Longoria was absolutely awesome in her support. There were so many others who were so vocal and public in their support for Obama/Biden!

They took the chance of losing a lot of fans by expressing their opinions.

Thank God, Goddess, Allah, Buddha or whoever that we won this election!

...The party that my team defeated on Tuesday was a nebulous, fiscally disastrous pitchfork mob - united by racism, xenophobia, self-interest, willful ignorance, hatred of the poor, and a puritanical desire to deny my gay friends their civil rights and me, PERSONALLY, equal access to health care and basic humanity...

my most favorite peeps in the world. Besides Eva.. I saw vids from Kate Walsh, Ashley Judd, Jane Lynch.. and the list is enormous of those who support our President! As well as musicians, directors, screenwriters, chefs, etc, etc, etc.

I'm glad you're acknowledging them, Kath, they had a huge part to play in our campaign!

Glad you mentioned Ashley Judd. She is also a very strong proponent of reproductive rights for women! A wonderful person.

"Hollywood left" is a hate radio term. I think it says a lot that all of these talented and artistic people are willing to speak their minds and publicly support things they care about.
