The geographically strategic use of pop culture personages as endorsers by the Obama campaign knows no bounds. Bruce Springsteen in Philadelphia, Ralph Stanley in southern Virginia and, perhaps coolest of all, the cast of The Wire in North Carolina. And whatever your political preference, this get out the vote ad has the auxiliary upside of giving hard-up Wire obsessives who just can't bring themselves to watch Marlo and Bubbles on Heroes one more glimpse of Kima, Cutty, Carver and Lester Freamon. Stringer Bell, however, is nowhere in sight. I guess he's working the streets for McCain with Omar and Brother Mouzone.
