Celebrity endorsements in the 2012 presidential campaign

 Scarlett Johansson 

The actress endorsed President Obama in 2008 — even telling people she has his email address — and appears set to back the president again this cycle. Johansson talked about her support of the president in the December issue of Vanity Fair, telling the magazine: “We’re all guilty of being idealistic, I and everyone who voted for him.” Asked if she would support him again, Johansson replied: “It would be irresponsible not to.”
