Obama dilemma as celebrities descend on Denver

(Breitbart.com) - Barack Obama's status as the rock-star candidate of the US election campaign is highlighted yet again with an array of celebrities descending on Denver for the Democratic Convention.

Yet as Hollywood prepares to decamp to Colorado for a series of VIP events held on the sidelines of the convention, presidential hopeful Obama is likely to keep a careful distance from the glitterati, analysts say.

Republican rival John McCain's campaign has recently sought to turn Obama's surging popularity into a weakness, scoring some direct hits by likening the Democrat to gossip-page perennials such as Paris Hilton and Britney Spears.

"But people like negativity -- they love it, they wallow in it. The Republicans know this and thrive on it."


What in the world has this guy been smokin'?!? Since this guy lives out in California, he must have his head buried in the sand.
