Holy shit, that was unexpected. At the big rally at UCLA with Michelle Obama, Oprah, and Caroline Kennedy, Maria Shriver just unexpectedly showed up to endorse Obama.
I wonder how Ahnold took that.
Update: Keep in mind, this is now top-of-the-fold news in every California newspaper tomorrow, it will lead every newscast. And it should push into Tuesday as the governor is forced to answer questions about it.
Did this just clinch California for Barack Obama? What will Ah-nuld have to say?
P.S. Shriver is the only daughter of Sargent Shriver and Eunice Kennedy Shriver, the sister of the former President John F. Kennedy.
Annabel Park is one of the most intelligent, articulate, talented people around. For those of you who don’t know Annabel, she was a major force in helping to elect Jim Webb in the fall of 2006, founding the “Real Virginians for Webb” effort, helping (along with her friend, filmmaker Eric Byler) to create several popular videos (e.g., “Generation Webb”), and rallying the northern Virginia Asian-American (especially Korean-American) community to vote for Webb. Since then, Annabel and Eric have become very well known for their work on their 9500 Liberty project about the issue of illegal immigration in Prince William County, Virginia. Now, Annabel and Eric are backing Barack Obama for President, and are working hard to make that a reality. I invite you to watch her video. Thanks, and Go Obama!
Wow, this is huge:
