Celebrities’ Political Power

The recent election was a typical bipartisan division between Americans. Some of them stayed Democratic, others stayed Republican. Year by year, most states don’t change their political views much. For example, California is always blue on the map, while Texas is always red. It all comes down to a few “swing states” that make the difference.

In addition, after, I also noticed the amount of celebrities that have backed up the two candidates as the elections progressed. According to Policymic, by August 2012, the celebrities supporting Obama raised $75 million dollars to support his campaign while Romney, minus Oprah’s millions, raised astounding $105 million dollars.

Money played an extremely large role in politics. As a business student, it was very interesting as to how much business, money and celebrities are involved in politics.
