SJP for Obama

Click on the above link to see Sarah Jessica Parker’s ad for Barack Obama. SJP is hosting a fundraiser at her Manhattan home next week. It’s going to be star-studded. But the campaign is also offering a raffle so regular people can attend, too.

SJP says: “OK, the guy who ended the war in Iraq, the guy who says you should be able to marry anyone you want, and the guy who created 4 million new jobs, that guy, President Obama and Michelle, are coming to my house for dinner on June 14th. We need him and he needs us.”

UPDATE: Now they’ve added a Mariah Carey concert to the SJP party. The concert– at the Plaza Hotel– follows the party. It’s unclear how many songs Mariah will perform.
