[NYCGirl]

Ed O'Neill is a terrific actor, IMO.

Barack Obama Friday found a novel way to appeal to the white blue-collar voters he badly needs to win in Ohio: Get Al Bundy to campaign for him.

And so Ed O'Neill, the actor who portrayed the embattled husband and father on "Married with Children" came to Youngstown, Ohio, to stump for the Democratic nominee.

O'Neill got a big welcome from the crowd at Youngstown State University, which had gathered to hear Sen. Hillary Clinton. "I haven't been here in 10 years," O'Neill said, 'and I usually don't get involved in politics."

Then he recalled growing up here, and urged a vote for Obama. The crowd in this working-class town loved it.

9. I'll take this endorsement over Powell's

O'Neill is also an expert in Jiu-Jitsu.

And Powell is also a coward.

I never knew that - I always thought he was a Republican...

I feel really badly, but....I thought Ed O'Neill was dead for some reason. Glad to hear that I was thinking of someone else. Hilarious campaign idea.

and the antithesis of Dick Morris - Feet! Feet! Feet! Feet! Feet! LOL

I loved that show. When I spent a year in France, it was a trip to hear Al Bundy speaking in French on French television.

"BIG'NS" magazine.
