>>>Andy Griffith and Ron Howard have teamed up and shot a commercial supporting Obama. They are in character as Andy and Opie, as well as a segment featuring Richie and Fonzie from Happy Days. It surprises me that they would use those characters to promote a political party.<<<
Yes, my husband found the link for that and showed it to me. Irrespective of who I'm supporting in the election, I am very disappointed that Ron and Andy would politicize the TAGS characters. I wouldn't want them to do that for *either* candidate. I think it was an unwise decision on their part. It was interesting to note, however, that Ron, Andy, and Henry Winkler gave us no actual reasons for voting for their man other than the nebulous mantra of "change." The whole message seemed to hinge on its entertainment value.
