The Governator may be campaigning for John McCain, but his wife is supporting Barack Obama:
LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) — California first lady Maria Shriver on Sunday endorsed Sen. Barack Obama for the Democratic nomination for president, becoming the latest member of the Kennedy clan to line up behind the senator from Illinois.
Shriver, the wife of California Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, told supporters at an Obama rally in Los Angeles that the state was “at the epicenter of change.” California’s primary is the largest of about two dozen contests scheduled for this week’s Super Tuesday contest.
“I would ask you to go out, to follow your heart, to be proud that you’re doing that, and remember that so goes California, so goes the nation,” she said.
Shriver is the niece of Massachusetts Sen. Edward Kennedy and President Kennedy. Both his daughter, Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg, and the Massachusetts senator have endorsed Obama in the past week. During Sunday’s event, Schlossberg appeared with Shriver, Obama’s wife, Michelle, and talk-show host Oprah Winfre
I’ll say this for Obama, he knows how to bring out the star power.
