Celebrity endorsements currently seem to be reflecting the split in the
Democrat Party.
John Kerry has apparently captured the political hearts of Jamie Lee
Curtis, Kathleen Turner, Dennis Hopper, Aaron Sorkin, Moby, James Taylor,
Bradley Whitford, Jerry Seinfeld, Michael J. Fox, Penny Marshall,
Peter Yarrow, Kenny 'Babyface' Edmunds, Quincy Jones, Carole King and
Uma Thurman.

There’s no real organization in place yet, not even a rudimentary website.
Going by the formal-sounding name Voices for a Senate Majority, the group
has already signed agreements with a half-dozen Democratic challengers
— Maine’s Tom Allen, Alaska’s Mark Begich, Minnesota’s Al Franken, New
Hampshire’s Jeanne Shaheen and cousins Tom and Mark Udall from, respectively,
New Mexico and Colorado — and is pledging a minimum of $100,000 to each
of their campaigns.
The idea started with alums of the Hollywood Women’s Political Committee,
a Reagan-era power PAC that included Jane Fonda, Kate Capshaw, Penny
Marshall, Daryl Hannah, Laura Dern, Sarah Jessica Parker and others.
The political action committee disbanded shortly after raising $4 million
for Bill Clinton’s 1996 reelection campaign. Following some recent informal
reunions, former HWPC members brought along friends, and soon the gatherings
grew to include dozens of new activists, all concerned about the Senate
vetting process that might determine future nominees to the Supreme Court.
