Up until now, the front-runner in garnering Tinseltown support has been Howard Dean.
Starting with an early endorsement from Rob Reiner, the former Vermont guv has managed to reel in several more, including ones from Martin Sheen, Susan Sarandon, Michael Douglas, Paul Newman, Mary Steenburgen, Ted Danson, Mel Brooks, Carl Reiner, Whoopi Goldberg and Robin Williams.
Rob Reiner, Janeane Garofalo, Joan Jett and Sheen were actually spotted in Iowa, firing up the Dean devotees.

SACRAMENTO -- Californians rejected a $2.4 billion ballot measure on Tuesday that called for a tax on the wealthy to pay for preschool for all 4-year-olds in the state.
The "Preschool for All" measure called Proposition 82, best known for its star backer, liberal Hollywood director Rob Reiner, would have imposed a 1.7 percent tax on individual incomes over $400,000 and couples' incomes exceeding $800,000.
Reiner contributed $2.8 million to the effort. His wife and his father, comic Carl Reiner, pumped in another $1.8 million, helping pay for commercials featuring teachers who support preschool.

The Jewish Alliance for Change, a pro-Obama group, is launching a series of three ads in swing states that use humor and celebrity narration to go after John McCain.
An ad titled "Ain't Funny -- Vice President" features old-time movie and TV stars such as Carl Reiner, Danny Devito, and Jerry Stiller riffing on topics ranging from the price of gas ("it costs more than the car") to health care and Sarah Palin.
"He wants to put that girl who winks in the second position," says Reiner, of Oceans 11, 12, and 13 fame, "Oh God, we are in trouble."
"I am voting for 'that one,'" says famed actor, director, writer and producer Gary Marshall, referencing the snide remark McCain made of Obama in the second presidential debate.
The other two spots deploy a similar method, going after McCain for his use of scare tactics and urging grandparents to consider "think about your grandchildren" when casting their ballots.
"I got the chance to vote for Roosevelt and I'm still talking about it," says Reiner. "Obama's your person."
The spots will air Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania -- states that have large swaths of elderly voters -- according to a spokesperson for the organization. The group has bought time during the last week of the election on the major cable news networks.
