Musician Daddy Yankee Backs Sen. McCain

Puerto Rican performer Daddy Yankee endorsed John McCain at a highschool in Phoenix, with the nominee by his side. Apparently the McCain campaign was so thrilled to have someone under the age of 50 and not white endorse him, that they didn't bother doing any research whatsoever about this guy.

The Reggaeton superstar who endorsed Sen. John McCain yesterday, was accused in 2007 of assaulting a soccer player at his hotel... and took a bullet in his leg during an altercation.

Not only did they not look into his background, they didn't bother to look into his music before having Daddy Yankee perform live at the highschool.



In Puerto Rican slang, 'gasolina' refers to alcohol, drugs, or some, well, other, innuendos.

Incidentally, Daddy Yankee originally approached the Obama campaign to endore Obama, but they passed. Good call. Is this yet another example of McCain's lack of better judgement?
