Will Bruce Springsteen's endorsement of Barack Obama carry weight on the streets of Philadelphia? I guess we'll find out.
In a statement on his website yesterday, The Boss made his support for the nation's next boss official. "After the terrible damage done over the past eight years, a great American reclamation project needs to be undertaken. I believe that Senator Obama is the best candidate to lead that project and to lead us into the 21st Century with a renewed sense of moral purpose and of ourselves as Americans. Over here on E Street, we're proud to support Obama for President."
Springsteen lent his support to John Kerry in 2004, heading up the Vote for Change tour and even trying to sway voters in Ohio with an Election Eve concert in Cleveland, though, in the end, Kerry came up short.
