Eva Longoria, Pres. Obama's Secret Weapon, 'Moved to Tears' After Win

November 08, 2012 Politix

“Desperate Housewives” star Eva Longoria crisscrossed the country for President Obama for the past four months, and her long campaign helped lead Obama to an overwhelming victory. 

Eva Longoria, Pres. Obama's Secret Weapon, 'Moved to Tears' After Win
“Extra’s” Jerry Penacoli caught up with Eva at Verizon’s Latino Entrepreneur of the Year Awards to discuss her role in the campaign. She told Jerry of election night, “It was awesome."
 
The actress, who told “Good Morning America” she was “moved to tears” after Obama won the election on Tuesday, took four months off work to push for the President.
 
“I was really honored to be able to go all over the country – Florida, Nevada and Colorado and talk to Americans about what’s important to them.”
 
Reports indicate that seven out of ten Latino Americans voted for the President, and "Extra" thinks the “Eva Effect” had a little something to do with it. For her tireless efforts, Jerry dubbed Longoria “Obama’s secret weapon.”
 
“This is why Obama won, because I had my good luck blue nails,” she said with a laugh.
 
Would the “Desperate Housewives” star ever run for office herself? She told Penacoli, “No, not officially. I think the power is within the citizen, so I’ll continue to help citizens and make sure everyone’s voice is heard.”

To understand the kind of president you have elected just look at the trashy people that support him; Madonna, Katy Perry, and Eva Longoria. They all have bad taste and men and can't seem to find a good one. Who cares what these mindless bimbo's think!!!!!!!!!!

I’ll continue to help citizens and make sure everyone’s voice is heard, oh that's funny! You mean the certain group that's just like you. Now that the election is over, I hope we can at least be free from seeing you and hearing your voice. At least for 4 years if we're lucky.
