Lindsay Lohan blog post spurs record turnout, Obama victory
A pro-voting blog post by Lindsay Lohan has led to more than 100 million Americans turning out to elect Barack Obama as the first ever African-American president of the United States.
Political analysts are overwhelmingly crediting a blog post that actress, singer and national icon Lohan wrote on MySpace Monday titled "VOTE" as the primary reason that a record number of people cast ballots and changed the course of American history. Many described it as an impassioned piece of political rhetoric that will be remember by historians for generations:
Sorry i haven't blogged in a minute.. i've been traveling and trying to catch up on sleep! I thought it was important to just put a message out there tonight for anyone that is on myspace at the moment.. So, here goes..I cannot say how important it is for everyone to get out there and vote tomorrow... The future of our country depends on it. Just one vote can make such a difference... Vote-because your thoughts are worth it..VOTE-because YOU can make this country a better place...VOTE-because you can.
I feel like i have so much more to say, but the only thing that needs to be said right now, is for people to get out there and VOTE.
PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"On Monday, Lindsay told America to vote and the next day over 110 million of us did. The connection is undeniable," said Andrea Tambor, a USC professor who holds the TMZ Chair for the study of politics and celebrities. "The fact that she took the time to write this post despite her hectic schedule and need to catch up on sleep, her capitalization of the word 'VOTE' in four separate places, and her use of 13 exclamation points at the end all combine to make a compelling political argument that Americans simply couldn't ignore."
Tambor added that Lohan's blog post may even turn out to be more historically significant than Will.i.am's appearance as a hologram on CNN.
