Obama's surge of celebrity backing turns the tables on the Clintons,
who have long enjoyed strong support from powerful Hollywood figures.
Clinton isn't without her share of Hollywood fans who are working to augment
her built-in name recognition ahead of Super Tuesday. Ted Danson, Mary
Steenburgen, Ron Howard, America Ferrera, Amber Tamblyn, Fran Drescher,
John Grisham and Magic Johnson have all campaigned on her behalf,
helping out with phone banks and making the occasional personal appearance.
At a Clinton rally in L.A. on Saturday, such boldface names as Sally Field,
Bradley Whitford and Christine Lahti were in attendance.

During a fundraiser with author John Grisham, Clinton said Mr.
Bush's promise last week to veto a bipartisan health insurance program
for children of low income and working class families is part of "a dangerous
experiment in extremism" by the White House that will help Democrats.
