Tom Hanks Endorses...

The best part of Tom Hanks 's endorsement of Barack Obama is how he scoffs at the fact that a celebrity endorsement would actually make your mind up. However, his pre-written statement at least expands on his endorsement even if it sounds terribly rehearsed. If you're a regular reader around here or my (lacking attention) blog you know I am pulling for Obama to take home the Democratic nomination and I still think he will despite a few stumbles here and there.
