Yesterday, Sarah Palin said that this election is going to "come down to the wire." She may have meant it's going to be close. But she also may have been suggesting that this election rests in the hands of the hit HBO series.
If so, McCain's screwed:
Cast
of "The Wire" Campaigns in North Carolina for Obama
Stars Will Make Stops
in Raleigh Sunday and UNC Chapel Hill and Duke on Monday
RALEIGH—
Tomorrow, members of the cast of the Peabody Award-winning drama series, The
Wire will attend a Backyard Brunch for Barack in Raleigh. Seven of
the show's cast members will visit the Tarheel State in support of the
change Barack Obama will bring across the country and in North Carolina.
Chad
Coleman who plays Dennis "Cutty" Wise, Deidre Lovejoy who plays
Rhonda Pearlman, Jamie Hector who plays Marlo Stanfield, Clarke Peters who
plays Detective Lester Freamon, Sonja Sohn who plays Detective Shakima
"Kima" Greggs, Seth Gilliam who plays Sergeant Ellis Carver, and
Gbenga Akinnagbe who plays Chris Partlow will all appear at the backyard brunch
on Sunday.
Look for the attack ads citing Obama's shady drug-dealer connections. Some members of the cast also went knocking on doors, which obviously means kicking them down. On a side note, Akkinagbe, who plays Chris Partlow, confirms via a friend that Season 4 is "definitely the best one."
John McCain wants it to be one way. But it's the other way.
Update 3:51 p.m.: They also made this video.
