    Well, the Eddie Vedder solo tour had Obama signs, if im not mistaken, and some of the tour posters had Obama stuff on them as well.

    (Can someone confirm?)

    that, with the Rock around Barack Song, Im guessing Barack Obama.

    Enlarge and check out the Button on Eddie's coat.

    He helped to design these.

    it's kinda funny that Ed isn't 'officially' endorsing anyone this time around. "officially" meaning VERY publicly.

    remember the Iconoclast thing with L. Hamilton... Ed says "I fucking hate politics" or "I hate fucking politics".

    very quiet this time around.. other than that poster, of course.

    Isn't there some essay contest or something that Ed was on the panel of judges...regarding Obama....

    I always thought that when he said "I fucking hate politics" he was referring to recording industry politics, office politics, that sort of thing - not political politics...

    But hey, what do I know? I can't vote in the US anyway...

    do you really have to even ask? you were wondering if one of them was actually endorsing McCain? (who by the way is going to win, like it or not, the dems don't stand a chance in hell this time)

    unfortunately that is exactly the case.



    this may one of the only times i don't agree with ed on a political matter

    Maybe Ed doesn't like Obama and that's why he hasn't said much? I wouldn't like Obama if I were him. Obama is just as shallow and sleezy as any other politician.

    Both candidates suck.

    EDIT: I don't mean that Ed doesn't like Obama per se, but, like, maybe he's not so sure?
    I pledge to you a government that will not only work well, but wisely, its ability to act tempered by prudence, and its willingness to do good, balanced by the knowledge that government is never more dangerous than when our desire to have it help us blinds us to its great power to harm us.

    Okay, so he doesn't like the guy, but he wears his fucking pin.. is anyone else lost here?

    Are we all hoping Ed likes who we like?

    regardless of preconceived notions, i'm sure anyone who's going to a show will certainly find out where he stands... deep breath.

    I always think celebrity endorsements are funny because they don't realize that a politician is supposed to ask for an endorsement.

    But celebrities just go ahead and endorse candidates anyway.

    McCain wouldn't be another term of Bush at all. McCain is practically Democrat in some of what he believes. I just hope the American public isn't brainwashed into voting Obama, because he's much worse. You think gas prices are high now? Oh boy, just wait.

    By the way I'm not a Bush fan either. I hate both McCain and Obama.
