Question: Does anyone know if Pa and Opie were really together while making the video? It looked to me like one of them was edited into the video of the other. It looked like they were in front of a green screen type backdrop and were actually in different places when they taped that part. On the other hand, Richie and the Fonz were right next to each other during their (hilarious) part. Someone mentioned Howard didn't give many reasons for supporting Obama. Without taking a side here, I'm guessing it's because Hollywood celebrities often open themselves up to ridicule when they start talking policy. I'm guessing his purpose (along with Andy's and Henry's) was to address undecided voters who were already leaning slightly toward Obama. Also keep in mind Wisconsin (where "Happy Days" took place) and North Carolina have been described as battleground states, plus there's a specific age demographic involved as well. Personally I've never decided a candidate based strictly on a celebrity and made up my own mind on the presidential race a long time ago (won't say who I chose here, this isn't the place for it) but I believe Ron Howard's purpose was to ask voters to make an informed choice (preferably in his preferred direction, obviously) and appeared to address people who don't already identify with either major party, or are open to crossing over. I was a bit surprised to see the three appear in character, though. Dixon **************Play online games for FREE at Games.com!
