The Hill might just be alive with the sound of music — J. Lo style. Jennifer Lopez slunk into the Hart Senate Office Building for a mysterious meeting inside presumptive Democratic nominee Barack Obama’s DC office. The surprise visitor was wearing a black cocktail dress and carrying an orange handbag, and caused quite a stir as she waited for the elevator to Obama's digs. When asked why Ms. Lopez goes to Washington, she demurred saying, “I’m not ready to do any press yet.”
Rumors have it that Lopez may be writing Obama a song. Poor Sens. Arlen Specter and Bill Nelson couldn't get any love as they strolled by the crowd unnoticed. After an hour and a half, an Obama staffer came out to break the bad news — J. Lo had left the building. Assuming the rumors are true — is a J. Lo song for Obama, sweet music? Could this signal a return to the campaign songs of yesteryear? I've got my fingers crossed. . . . Would you download?

When are celebs going to learn that they are not helping his campaign, but making it and
him seem like a joke!
1Don't be fooled by the rocks that he's got,
2he's still, he's still Barack from the block
it works!
3Oh no!
Hope not!
What if she helped him campaign in hispanic neighborhoods? That might help him. A song, not so much.
4I'm with Jillness here... I think it'd be a good thing for him to have endorsements from hispanic celebrities... probably not a good idea for him to have her sing his campaign theme. Meh.
5oh sweet Xenu enough with these celeb endorsements
6I'm on the fence until Christina Augilera makes her choice.
7Well she did make the choice to let her son pooped in the American flag....
8UGH
9HF come back! We miss you already!
10I hate celeb endorsements. Esp the ones that are just show...
Like, I don't mind ppl on Real Time w/ Bill Mahr debating ISSUES(the Susan Sarandons, the John Cusaks) because I guess I see it as them doing what we do here... discussing issues and debating interesting points in the news.
I just hate the I'm cool b/c I'm Rocking the Vote and going with the cool kids to the Obama rally. LAMENESS. It only hurts the politician.
(Unless you have Chuck Norris by your side and you are Huckabee. Then it is genius.)
11Hi Cab!
12Hey Harmon. Are you reay to jump back into the discussions?
13That should be Hey Harmony.
14My vote don't cost a thing!
Oh J.Lo, keep your pretty little head out of this race. Same for all you other celebs. I get annoyed by most celebs getting into the political arena unless they're trying to get out the vote.
I don't care what their affiliation is, just do what you're paid to do!
15Is there any case of a celebrity endorsement actually helping a candidate?
16I remember when Charles Manson came out for Jimmy Carter in '80. That really helped Reagan.
17"Could this signal a return to the campaign songs of yesteryear?"
Yesteryear used to write campaign songs? Cool.
I think that all this celeb endorsement for Obama sort of solidifies the rock star image and detracts from the content.
18I can care less if she writes the song, if it's good it's good. But honey please don't sing it.
19i like the songs created and sung by the regular folks on youtube. they're more entertaining. but i did dig will.i.am's song for about 2 days then i was tired of it.
20i wonder how many people in hollywood are closet republicans. i bet a lot more than we realize.

There are a lot, they just aren't all Patricia Heaton or Ben Stein vocal about it...
22You know for past elections I would have been annoyed, but the focus on the younger votes (especially for Barrack) are key for this election. I would be curious about how the song turns out and whether or not it is effective.
23oh bill nelson, how could people ignore him?

24When I lived there we called them "Crypto-Republicans". We hunted them for sport and their pelts were very sought after.
25There are plenty of conservatives in Hollywood, they're the ones that don't talk politics.
26I LMAO when they had the Black Eyed Peas sing at the Dem. convention "Let's Get It Started" because the real lyrics are "Let's Get Stupid". I am surprised the Republicans did not pick up on that one and use it against them.
27Can't these people just endorse him. They don't need to sing their speaches, or revamp old songs.
28testing a smiley...
29It works.
30Jillness you roll your eyes like a Diva baby!
31Oh she is going to help him campaign amongst the skank community! Dead on!
32Skank community? What is a skank community?
33No no no! Please don't! No more songs!
34Thanks, hypno!!
35Oh sorry I missed you liliblue. I'm back! I'm just really busy this week. It's the good kind of busy. Let me tell you though those couple of days NOT talking about politics certainly helped. Thanks for the advice.
36GREAT. Another Obama girl.
37It's so ctazy.
38"taco flavored kisses for Obama"---sorry for the South Park reference, but it was just to hard to pass up.
39Remember when Bruce Willis said this?
"I don't think my opinion means jack s**t, because I'm an actor. Why do actors think their opinions mean more because you act? You just caught a break as an actor. There are hundreds - thousands - of actors who are just as good as I am, and probably better."
40first thing- are those her nips on the side of that dress? let the girls breath Jennifer!
Second- I always thought campaign songs were stupid!
Third- I will only watch her perform the song if she grows her unibrow back and wears an old outfit from her days as flygirl on In living color.
41the lame thing is that u all beleived it! J.LO was there cuz Obama asked her! and they were discussing bout latin community and healtcare etc and NOT A SONG!
42the media always trys to make into a bigger deal than it relay is when it comes to her!
well i put no...but im not for mccain...heck no on that lol...but her singing a song for him...thats odd.....lol
