Got a spare £20? Then go and bet on John McCain becoming the next president of America when voting season rolls round on November 4.

After God knows how many months, the Democrat party has been finally chosen Barack Obama over Bill Clinton’s wife as their candidate. And Obama has received some support from celebrity land.

Now, in the 2004 American election, when the world witnessed George W Bush and John F Kerry wrestle for the chance to sit in a big, white house, we all saw celebrities show their support.

The majority of film, sports, music and TV stars said George W Bush was a silly head and shouldn’t get your vote. We all know how much of a success that was when the American public stupidly voted Calamity George back into power.

It’s becoming a case of déjà vu as hip and trendy people like Bono tell us to vote Barack Obama and not John McCain.

Well, Stevie Wonder has just praised the Barack Obama and fucked his chances a little bit more.

Now, you may think that Hecklerspray is going to do one of two things:

1 – Make a cheap joke about Mr Wonder’s lack of vision.

2 – Quote lots of Stevie Wonder lyrics and say “Stevie just called Obama to say he loved him” and wish him good luck in the election.

No, for a change we won’t. Option one did tempt us, but after the angry outburst from Lee Ryan fans, we didn’t want to make a joke about a singer whose fanbase will attack us.

And we respect Stevie Wonder a lot more then Lee Ryan. One has talent, while the other runs off reality TV programs.

We’ll cut straight to the chase. At a press conference to promote his European tour [something Lee Ryan knows nothing about], a question was asked if Stevie supported the Democratic nominee.

He replied:

He’s a combination of JFK (former U.S. President John F. Kennedy), and Martin Luther King (Jr.). With that he can’t lose.

As we’ll agree, both of these are men were hugely influential leaders of their time for various reasons. However, they do have the following in common.

They both got shot.

JFK on November 22, 1963 and Martin Luther King on the April 4, 1968.

We guess that before comparing Barack Obama to these two men, Stevie Wonder didn’t realise he was doing this. Maybe a lack of vision on his part? D’oh!

Baring in mind that a maniac did prematurely end their lives, we hope Stevie isn’t part of a wacky cult to rid the world of the Democrat hopeful with fellow members Geroge W Bush and John McCain.

Of course not, don’t be silly. That’s like saying Robert Mugabe rigs the Zimbabwean election.
