Kid Rock = Not A Political Scientist

With the upcoming presidential election, you can count on a lot of celebrity endorsements of candidates. There are your regulars, like Eddie Vedder and Michael Stipe, who insist on plugging their candidates whether or not anyone is listening; but it seems like a lot more musicians are coming forward to promote Barack Obama. Hell, even Broken Social Scene told voters to "put down the bong and vote for Obama."

Well, there's one musician in particular who you won't see any endorsements from: Kid Rock. In an interview with Country Music Television, he explained "I truly believe that people like myself, who are in a position of entertainers in the limelight, should keep their mouth shut on politics." Rock, who currently has a huge hit without selling his music on iTunes, also clarified that he is not, in fact, a political scientist.
