McCain Gets Obama's Rejects

Filed under: Politik > John McCain

wenn5168092.jpg

As we mentioned earlier this week, Puerto Rican Reggaeton singer Daddy Yankee is endorsing Republican presidential hopeful John McCain.

Papi went on and on about McCain in a recent magazine interview about how great of a person he is.

It's probably best that Daddy Yankee, who's well known for his raunchy lyrics and who also has an assault charge, is endorsing McCain and not Obama.

In 2007, Daddy Yankee was accused of assaulting a soccer player at his hotel. And somehow during the altercation, he got shot in his leg.

So who would have thought Yankee and McCain would even have their names in the same sentence????

And, even less, have McCain introduce the famous Gasolina singer at a Phoenix high school to perform????

Odd.

However, here's the best part.

Looks like Daddy Yankee was just doing it for the publicity.

Surprise, surprise.

According to reports, a source for the Democratic Party says Daddy Yankee had originally approached Barack Obama's Latino outreach staff earlier this year with the possibility to endorse Barack.

However, Barack's people weren't interested in his support, for obvious reasons.

That's when he moved over to try and use McCain for some publicity.

However, an email from McCain's spokesman, Michael Golfarb, says, "That’s a 'Ludacris' suggestion, and given the number of shady characters and organizations that have endorsed Barack Obama, we find it hard to believe the Obama campaign has turned down any endorsements at all."

What good would Daddy Yankee do????

One, he's Puerto Rican and P.R. is a U.S. Territory - so they don't vote in Presidential elections. And, Daddy Yankee primarily appeals to the much younger, non-voting crowd.

Good choice there, McCain.

Who's next to endorse you, Snoop Dogg?

  26. 26

    And this endorsement is a boost for which party?

  27. 27

    Re: bouge – As would I.

  28. 28

    Re: Andy27 – You have lost it. Really. It has gotten so bad that I think its time someone force you to go see a psychiatrist. There are people who have no lives, then there's Andy27. Damn, I doubt thats even you in your pic … I believe you are probably some 49 year old, balding, overweight hunchback that sits infront of his computer in his crusty ripped boxers, stained wifebeater and rolled up socks. You're that creepy old man that neighborhood kids avoid going trick or treating to on Halloween.

    Perez..Kepp your politics to yourself. Just cause some people vote MCCAIN does not mean they are " try and use McCain for some publicity". Man oh man. Everyone has a righ to vote. Once people like you start telling us who to vote for it is a huge turn off! I use to like Obama.
    p.s I like Daddy y music

  30. 30

    McSame should be so lucky as to have Snoop endorse him.

  31. 31

    OBAMA FOR PRES!!!!

  32. 32

    I honestly hope that those of you who are being swayed by celebrity endorsements aren't old enough to vote, and if you are hopefully you'll die before you get the chance to do so. idiots…

  33. 33

    Re: bouge – I agree with you on the Angelina thing. But I don't know if Brad's all about it, so she might keep her views private.

    OK Perez. Puerto Rico might ne a territory, but there is about 6 million Puerto ricans living in the States. Unlike your family thats from CUBA who really have no business voting for any president unless it's CASTRO wild ass, you really are the last person to say who can VOTE. and unlike CUBANS. Puerto ricans ARE AMERICANS AT BIRTH…!!!
