Have you heard of "Obama Girl?" A young, attractive woman cooing about how Obama is the cutest candidate in a video called "I Have a Crush on Obama." It was a major Internet hit with several follow ups. Watch it here.
One definite primary vote for the Illinois senator, right?
Well, turns out, Amber Lee Ettinger didn't vote for Obama. The aspiring New York City model didn't vote for Obama, or anyone else. Couldn't make it to her registered polling place across the river in New Jersey. She said she was simply too sick after returning from a party trip to Phoenix for the Superbowl. She was able, however, to make it to a political results viewing party sponsored by a Vodka company in New York City on the evening of Super Tuesday.
Is she a misunderstood, well-meaning model inadvertently reinforcing stereotypes about apathetic young voters? Or, a future Playboy bunny doing all she can to make her impact on the national political scene? Who knows? But, this much I know – Obama could have the field to himself if he had been able to mobilize the bimbo vote.
Word is, Amber was lip-syncing on the video. I'm hoping the young woman with the actual talent made her vote count.
