Who should campaign next?

By Derek Wright and Jessica King

With the presidential election less than two weeks away, Weekender wanted to find out which celebrities you would like to see not endorse candidates, but take up a campaign of their own: Krist Novoselic, the former Nirvana bassist, with aspirations of joining the U.S. Senate? Jello Biafra, the Dead Kennedy’s frontman who has run for mayor of San Francisco? David Cross? Michael Moore? Over the next few weeks, Weekender will feature NIU students and their choices for a Hollywood White House.

John Cusack

Because of his movie “Say Anything.”

-Sean Adams, freshman accountancy major

David Cross

“Shut Up You [F—ing] Baby”

-Cory Cravatta, Chicago resident

Howard Stern

Because he’s non-partisan.

-Matt Nolan, sophomore undeclared major

Puffy

Because he is really encouraging people to get out there and vote.

-John Williams, journalism major

Jessica Simpson

Because she and George Bush are the same.

-Brandon Sieben, junior English major

No celebrity

It would just be another publicity stunt.

-Brian Deberge, freshman undecided major
