    I'm not totally convinced that Ed is supporting Obama but.. it's not hard to imagine. He has my vote if he is the nominee. I tell ya though if somehow Hillary ends up his running mate (to many the so called "dream ticket" (yuck!) that vote will be much harder to cast. It's early still.
    On December 4, 2001, Bush was asked: "How did you feel when you heard about the terrorist attack?" Bush replied, "I was sitting outside the classroom waiting to go in, and I saw an airplane hit the tower - the TV was obviously on. And I used to fly, myself, and I said, well, there's one terrible pilot. I said, it must have been a horrible accident. But I was whisked off there, I didn't have much time to think about it." [White House, 12/4/01]
    *This is the seventh different account of how Bush learned about the first crash

    I was just about to post something similar to this. I'd rather the band not tell us who they support because I feel too many of you here will vote for that candidate based solely on that. There are too many worshipers here. Do some research and make a decision for yourself.

    I second that. There are too many people out there who are followers. I am not saying everyone on here, but there are a fair share on here.
    My whole life looked like a picture of a sunny day.

    Lets face facts... people generally come on here because they are hard core Pearl Jam fans, and with being a hard core fan often comes a sense of adulation. When that is the case, people tend to want to do what their "idols" do, whether it be drive the same car, drink the same soft drink or wine, or wear the same clothes. That is why we have celebrities and role models doing ads for so many products. It also means getting behind things that the "idol" gets behind, whether it be a candidate, a social issue or a charitable cause.

    Having said that, there are always going to be those that are only slightly influenced by the objects of their affection. I know there are many reading this that will say "yeah, but that's not me! I liked _________ just because I always thought it was right, cool, hip or whatever." At that end of the day, many of us are influenced (even if subliminally) by those that we admire, and that will never change.

    I agree that we should all do our research and make informed decisions, not sheep-like decisions that our role models or idols make. If we factor that into the equation, let it serve as just that... a piece of the puzzle.

    Okay, I am stepping down now. Anyone else want to get on this soapbox before I put it away?
    For those who scoff at "Jamily" in my name... 9 years ago, when my first daughter was born there were jokes about whether my priority would be my family or PJ. I smiled and quipped "I am a JamilyMan." What was a family joke became a hated term among jammers. Didn't see that one coming!

    OH REALLY, NO WAY?????????????????????????????????????

    Christ, not everyone follows what the band does. It's just interesting to see who the band is supporting since you have a great amount of respect for them. And it's upsetting when you see someone who has such respect support someone that you think is a piece of shit candidate.
