I am happy to report that the movie blog Screengrab is reporting that Dennis Hopper who went from becoming a radical hippie to a neocon is back on our side as he told a gathering in Italy that he is voting for Barack Obama.The change of heart is due to what Hopper rightfully perceives as the corruption of the Bush-Cheney administration which he voted for.
Ironically, Hopper played a Democratic candidate in the vein of Howard Dean in the Kevin Costner vehicle "Swing Voter" this summer.
He is currently appearing in the Michael Moore-bashing film "American Carol," but I have a feeling that his co-stars like Jon Voight and James Woods will vote him off the island for this!
I think this merits an Oscar-nomination for Hopper's performance in "Elegy," which is one of my five favorite films of the year.
We have also amended our walls of support (see below), and moved Hopper from the McCain supporters to the Obama wall, perhaps we can do the same for the entire state of Indiana, now reportedly a swing state, which we would be fitting since Hopper was in the 1987 basketball movie "Hoosiers."
SPECIAL THANKS:
To my friends at Screengrab, which I have proudly ripped off more than any other blog in cyberspace history!
THIS JUST IN: Apparently, conservative novelist/essayist Christopher Buckley is supporting Obama as well. Wow! Momentum seems to be on our side. I just hope it holds up 18 days from now.

Indiana supporting Obama...curious. The Hoosier State's history of race relations is troubling, to put it mildly.
