Lindsay Lohan Endorses Romney, And It's Actually A Really Big Deal

Lindsay Lohan came out in support of Mitt Romney yesterday.

While most would, at first glance, write this off as gossip, it's the latest instance of an evolving trend that jeopardizes President Obama's chance at winning the White House.

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

The first person to pick out this trend was Dave Weigel after sportswriter Buzz Bissinger endorsed Romney after his positive debate performance. Bissinger, Weigel notes, was a low information voter. He watched the debate, took everyone's word for it on the facts, and backed Romney.

As Weigel notes, it's not like either side was falling over themselves to score the lusted-after and enviable Bissinger endorsement.

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.

Wrestler Hulk Hogan has backed Romney because he wants someone to "just take the lead and run."

Lohan said that the reason she was voting Romney was "employment." From The Blaze:

“I just think employment is really important right now,” the troubled star told E!, while at Mr. Pink’s Ginseng Drink event in Beverly Hills, California, on Thursday. “So, as of now, Mitt Romney. As of now.”

Here's why the Obama campaign should be worried.

Lohan is a low information voter convinced that (a) employment is really important, (b) thinks that employment is not being sufficiently handled by the White House right now and (c) thinks that Mitt Romney is better equipped to handle employment.

That arguably logical sequence is all that it takes for a low-information voter to support Mitt Romney. The thing is, there are millions of voters like her. That should terrify the Obama campaign.

Liberal tool David Weigel condescendingly calls voters like Bissinger and Lohan “low information” voters. But when Bissinger and Lohan see facts that tell them things are not going well, they make a rational decision to change their voting decisions based on those facts. Can the same be said for “high information” msm’ers like David Weigel?

She has been Republican her whole life. I don’t believe she voted for Obama last time. Some are saying the economy is why she is not working....Not. She is somewhat a mess but hopefully will get herself together.

[Wyatt's Torch]

Considering that “undecideds” are in this category of “low information voters then yeah. You have to be low information to be undecided with two people that are a billion miles apart.

I also read this week that Maine voters are the key to the election. Also Catholics.

So what Romney should do is go to Maine, find all the Catholics who are also dingbats and just buy their votes.

I’m waiting for the Paris Hilton endorsement...that would be, like, HUGH!

[RepRivFarm]

What little I know about Lindsay Lohan suggests to me that she's a slow motion train wreck.If that's correct I think we'd want to see her endorse Osama Obama.

I know, but give her a break for being on our side. I think Churchill said "If Hitler invaded hell, I would feel compelled to at least mention Satan favorably in the House of Commons."

[Right Wing Assault]

"Mitt Romney is not available at this time. Please leave your name and number at the tone."

BEEEP!

"Oh, wow, like, professor Romney, this is, you know, Lindsay! I saw you on the, uh, debate with that Obongo guy. And your friend Paul is SO hot! I love the muscles!

So, anyways, I'd like to offer my services to you. Oh, ha, ah, I didn't mean THAT way. At least with you. Maybe Paul, but I'd, you know, like to make an ad for you and Paul. I could, like, come out in a low-cut dress, and say, you know, how cool yooze two are compared to that Barney Obongo guy. Where did he come from anyways, and is he REALLY president? I mean, like, of the country? And the cities, too, I mean?

Wow! Dat bro not cool, tee hee. Don't taze me, like, bro, you know? Ha, ha. So, what do you think about me doin a little ad for yooze? Gimme a call! I'll be layin here on my bed just waitin to hear from you. Or, wow, even Paul, if he'd, like, you know, wanna talk to me?

Oh, groan, I'm so, uh, excited! I can't wait! Please, do it NOW! NOW! Yes! YES!! Oh, it's going to feel so good! To hear from, you, I mean. Or, OOOH, Paul. Squeal! Well, I'm going to go lay on my bed and cool down.

Do, call, please? Oh, please! Oh, I hope I won't have to lay on my bed alone all night waiting for the call, will I? Do it! Do it! I will fly to wherever you are to help. Just make sure, uh, Paul is there, too, uh, OK?"

First of all, I live in Kansas so it really doesn’t matter statistically. Second, you don’t understand. She’s more interested in Romney’s eyes and his smile. She likes the fact that Ryan does P90x. She thinks Obama is cool. If I try to convince her based upon facts that you and I think are important, even critical, she changes the subject or, even worse, starts filing my cuticles more aggressively.

Unfortunately, Dingbats do decide elections. How do you think we got BO?

This LL quote shows she is not quite the dingbat of the average BO voter:

“I just think employment is really important right now,” the troubled star told E!, while at Mr. Pink’s Ginseng Drink event in Beverly Hills, California, on Thursday. “So, as of now, Mitt Romney. As of now.”

She at least has the sense enough to understand that the average low wage worker who buys her movie tickets and glossy magazines is more likely to do so if they are employed.

If she thought it was tough getting hollywood work before her Romney endorsement, now she’ll see. She’ll be blacklisted.

[tophat9000]

Wow...if Obama’s has lost the drunken slut vote...he is done

[Dr. Ursus]

She’s dead to me -Steven Speilberg!

A highly intelligent, if complex, career actress who has forged an astonishing career in the toughest business in the world.

"low information voter."

What a joke. Jealous, voyeuristic, Same as it Ever Was.

[Cicero]

The writer’s basic argument is sound.

If only Mitt Romney can get the Nitwit vote, then he’ll win in a landslide.

Because the whole country is full of nitwits these days.

[American Constitutionalist]

I see the total failure of trying to convince this person, your right, it’s pointless....

[NFHale]

It’s the hair.

Gotta be.

With hair like that I could...dare I say it....RULE THE WORLD...

[fieldmarshaldj]

You just need some Dapper Dan.

[NFHale]

A li’l dab’ll do ya, as the old commercial says...

Or was that Brylcream...(say...talk about a product that went the way of all things...is that even still available?)

[fieldmarshaldj]

It must be... it’s the stuff ‘Tard Joe uses to keep the ass hairs stapled to his scalp nice and shiny.
