Clinton or Obama: Tough Ask For Hollywood Stars

Hollywood stars may be always busy with movies and showbiz but they have political likings and disliking too. Many famous celebrities in Hollywood are fan of the Democratic Party. Now, the stars are divided about whom to support. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are the two leading front runners for the Democratic Party candidateship for 2008 presidential election.

Washington Post reported:

Indeed, several Democratic consultants told Reuters that Clinton remains in a class of her own on the Los Angeles fund-raising circuit, with strong ties to the entertainment community dating back to her husband's time in office.


All indications are that veteran Clinton loyalists like producers Haim Saban and Steve Bing, former studio chief Sherry Lansing and magnate Ron Burkle remain firmly in her camp.

Nevertheless, a parade of celebrities have expressed support for Obama, including Oscar winners George Clooney and Halle Berry and TV talk show host Oprah Winfrey.

Obama launched his exploratory committee 10 days ago, and Clinton quickly followed suit.

So, we will wait to see who supports whom in Hollywood. It is going to be a tougher choice than Oscar Award.
