OG Russell Simmons have pledged his support for Barack Obama for Presidency.
The Hip-Hop mogul said he was ‘inspired by the diversity among the Illinois senator’s supporters. Obama has built an unprecedented national movement of people from all ethnic, racial, political, social and economic backgrounds’
‘If you could take Barack Obama’s image, add Hillary Rodham Clinton’s money and John Edwards’ voice, that would be my candidate’.
Seems like Russ is supporting Obama based on his personality and his popularity as opposed to his race.
The next Democratic primaires take place in Texas and Ohio tomorrow.
Obama has won the last 11 polls.
What do you guys think of Obama and the way he’s leading his campaign?
