No. Vote for Bush or die would though. In truth, I imagine these celebrities likely supported Kerry and wanted the youth vote to go that way. But that can't go further than being our opinions, as Combs never said WHO to vote for. Instead of the source, I'll focus on the result, and that would be an increase in the spirit of civic duty.

I agree and I mentioned that the other day that the Democrats were arrogant in thinking they OWNED the youth vote.

You just love a good gloat, eh? :) And telling them to vote and inserting politics ARE two different things, but you seem to be makiing a nonexistent connection there. But a pop star saying vote for Kerry is NO different than a conservative talk show host saying vote for Bush.
And I doubt if they'll ever learn any more than the OVER 30 group will.
