It's V Day

If you're a U.S. voter and haven't already cast your ballot, this is the big day. Let this picture of Jake Gyllenhaal motivate you. It should be used as THE get-out-and-vote poster:



Jake's been out of the country for most of this campaign. But here are some pictures and video from Jake's 2004 efforts for Kerry and for voter registration.

Those of us in the U.S. who live in or near states with early primaries for the 2008 presidential election are now subjected to political ads on top of endless coverage of the race. It makes you actually consider leaving the house!

One of the big questions for celebrity Democrats is whom to endorse. We know that Jake was a Kerry supporter in 2004. It's a shame that we probably won't get to see him hitting the campaign trail next year the way he did then:



But how cool would it be for Stephen to direct a new "Rock the vote" ad, maybe with Reese this time?



Also, one wonders if Jake's old friend Chelsea Clinton is pressuring him to support her mother! Perhaps that was one of the topics du nuit when Jake and Chelsea had dinner recently.

I had always assumed that Reese was a conservative. When I learned that she supported Hillary Clinton in the past, I immediately liked her more. I wonder if Jake did, too!

Reese might be less of a partisan than I am, though. She recently did a PSA for "Divided We Fail," a campaign for all citizens to work together. Nice sentiment, especially at the holidays!
