Actor Gives Good Advice to Hillaries

Ted Danson supported Hillary. Now he supports Obama. Danson wisely says that democrats should support a candidate who supports democratic issues. What Danson doesn't understand is that Hillary's supporters who aren't supporting Obama have other issues. For them, the election has been more of an emotional relationship, not one based on practicalities.

CNN: "I will do everything in my power to make sure that we have a Democrat in the White House, absolutely," Danson said. "And Sen. Obama is a remarkable candidate."

Danson said that Clinton has been a family friend for many years. He and his wife, actress Mary Steenburgen, even appeared at rallies with Clinton earlier this year.

He acknowledged that the race between the two senators evoked strong emotions in supporters of each, but the actor said the pair's agreement on many issues should make it possible for Democrats to unite.

"I don't care who you were backing, or how fervently, or how upset [you were]," he said. "If you don't go out and back the person who represents the issues you care about ... [then] you need to do that."
