GOP Celebrity List Short, but Committed to Cause - America’s Election HQ

ST. PAUL, Minn. — Celebrity sightings are few and far between but some of the recognizable stars like Kelsey Grammar, Jon Voight, Stephen Baldwin, Pat Boone, Ben Stein and Elizabeth Hasselbeck were among the B-listers and below swarmed by Republican convention-goers this week.

Among the performers who offered their services to the convention were Latin recording artist and Reggaeton superstar Daddy Yankee and country singers Cowboy Troy, John Rich and Gretchen Wilson.

Though the election is still two months away, it’s pretty clear which candidate has secured the Hollywood superstar vote.

Last week’s Democratic convention in Denver was lined with A-list stars, including Steven Spielberg, Muhammad Ali, Kanye West, Ben Affleck, Jaimie Foxx and Jennifer Lopez. Stevie Wonder, Sheryl Crow, John Legend and will.i.am headlined a concert on the convention’s last day.

“You have to play the hand you’re dealt,” said Jonathan Wilcox, an adjunct professor at USC Annenberg School for Communication, who is an expert on politics and celebrity culture. “Maybe the Republicans would like to throw in three of their celebrities and get three more from the deck.”
