Maria Shriver, wife of California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and a member of the powerful Kennedy political clan has ndorsed Barack Obama.
Shriver's comments included:
"The more I thought about it, I thought, you know, if Barack Obama was a state, he'd be California."
"I mean, think about it: diverse, open, smart, independent, bucks tradition, innovative, inspiring, dreamer, leader!" said Shriver, a member of America's foremost political dynasty.
Shriver suprisingly appeared at rally held at the University of California. The celebrity-packed rally was also attended by US talk show queen Oprah Winfrey, Shriver's cousin Caroline Kennedy who is the daughter of slain president John F. Kennedy, Obama's wife Michelle, and pop music legend Stevie Wonder.
The California first lady added that Obama "is about the power of us, and what we can do when we come together. Because as everybody up here has said, there is much more that unites us than divides us.
"He is about empowering women, African-Americans, Latinos, older people, young people. He's about empowering all of us."
