Sarah Jessica Parker appeared on Access Hollywood and passionately gave her reasons for supporting Obama (after a detour about her trip to collect Irish groceries which, apparently, are a thing) – and for opposing Romney.
Jezebel, who posted the video, sum up her appearance:
Romney’s flip-flopping, almost accidentally shows her home address on National TV because she’s JUST LIKE US, acknowledges that she would be better off financially with Romney as president but she’s concerned about equality and women’s rights, she won’t move to Canada if Romney wins because she will not give up on this country, she is all about women voting, WOMEN VOTE DAMMIT OR SHE WILL COME AFTER YOU. . .
SJP for president! OF MY HEART.
