Why Lindsay Lohan's Endorsement of Romney Is Kinda Important

So, Lindsey Lohan plans on voting for Mitt Romney this November, according to a bit of information released by E! News.

Now, I generally discount the words of a serial rehab center frequenter as much as anyone, but Business Insider has given me a reason to be concerned:

Lohan, by all accounts, is a typical low-information voter. And low information voters, like it or not, will decide this election.

BI's Walter Hickey then notes that Lohan isn't alone in her low-information selection of a candidate to back, making note of Friday Night Lights author Buzz Bissinger:

Bissinger was a low information voter. He ignored the election, watched the debate, took everyone's word for it on the facts, and backed Romney.

But Bissinger is emblematic of millions of Americans. These people don't follow politics and plan to vote based on what little information they've gleaned.

Basically, it seems as if things are coming down to the fact that tangential things that may have won Obama the last election (potentially the first black president; a Democrat running following a widely-reviled Republican administration; convincing the electorate with simple introductions to complex issues) are working against him in this election.

She was so cute in The Parent Trap.

Don’t know what happened, it’s been all downhill since then.

4.5 million twitter followers vs
24K following George Clooney.
How’s that make sense?

“The significance of Lindsay is part of a broader movement that’s starting to gain traction.”

Bump.

I hate to refer to Lindsay as a shepherd, however, her followers are in fact sheep, and so she is one of a growing number of shepherds.

The "Not So Good" Shepherd.

It is the first debate that is watched the most. Pres. Ford didn’t lose because of the second debate, but, as Rush pointed out, commie clowns such as Chevy Chase parodied him falling all over the place.

Perfect candidate for Cleavage Czar in the new administration.

She was so incredibly gorgeous at one time...maybe she will get it together again.

My goodness, the mileage on that picture is evident comparing it to the pic of her 10 years ago.

Maybe she looks into the mirror and sees what living the "liberal" dream life does to a person. It might have something to do with her endorsing Mitt...
