But in a statement to Variety provided by political adviser Trevor Neilson, Jolie says that she is waiting to make up her mind.Some bloggers have speculated that Angelina could in fact endorse McCain over Obama (after she called for a continued U.S. presence), but the actress has left things wide open “calling on each of the presidential candidates and congressional leaders to announce a comprehensive refugee plan with a specific timeline and budget as part of their Iraq strategy.”“I have not decided on a candidate,” Jolie says, “I am waiting to see the commitments they will make on issues like international justice, refugees and how to address the needs of children in crisis around the world.”
Unlike many other celebrity endorsements, Jolie’s carries the weight and influence of her extensive humanitarian work around the world, as the goodwill ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. Her statement was an indication that she would be open to choosing a candidate.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly in June, Angelina commented: ‘I think people assume I’m a Democrat. But I’m registered independent and I’m still undecided. So I’m looking at McCain as well as Obama.”

I wouldn’t be too shocked if she supoorted McCain! I think Brad is an Obama guy though but I am not 100%.
I LOVE HER.
Celebrity Sleepwear Obsession - Angelina Jolie’s Nightgown Identified
“I was absolutely thrilled to see Angelina Jolie wearing our “La Stella†gown for her photo debut with the twins. In many ways, Angelina embodies the spirit and style of Eileen West sleepwear; she’s a natural beauty, a mother, a woman on the go who maintains a sense of grace. Truly, we feel quite honored by her choice to wear the La Stella gown. Best wishes to the Jolie-Pitt family! - Eileen West.
The Media has become a JOKE.
This country is doomed if we take are politics from celebs with dubious pasts.
They have elevated a former bisexual junkie that beaks up relationships to
the status of a Margaret Thatcher.
ANGELINA JOLIE FOR PRESIDENT.
I have no nice comment to say.
If the media had done it’s homework and investigated the Edwards Scandal, Hillary would be the canddiate TODAY…grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
I thought Angie and Brad moved to France…their opinion doesn’t count.
I agree with Jo-Ann — who cares what she thinks!!
But personally….NOBAMA
^^ Americans living abroad still have the ability to vote for in US elections. They only relinquish this right once if and when they decide to change their citizenship.
EDWARDS isn’t in the running … and if he was … Hilary wouldn’t have a chance …
It will always be two men…Angie is now a media hound… and no one takes what she
says seriously… It is time to let all this fun stuff that McCain is doing with the parody
of Paris Hilton .. Next is George Clooney and his charity dinner.. one hitch you have
to pay the air fare to switerland for the dinner.. What will Angie and Brad do …??
They never finish anything they start…
Angie isn’t voting for McCain and we all know it. NEXT!
At least she’s not like all of the other celebs ruining Obama. George clooney, scarlett johanson, jlo, etc. I think it’s cool that she is actually thinking before just jumping on the Obama celebrity bandwagon
The politicians are all whores, so, why not take the advice of a bona fide whore. This bitch is a disgrace and anyone who takes her political advice seriously needs a lobotomy. She is an uneducated, ignorant talking head.
Devin, HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA. My thoughts exactly.
I wanted McCain to win back in 2000 because I felt he was the best person for the job, but now I want McCain to win because I think America needs one more Bush administration before it finally snaps out of it’s ride’m cowboy narcissistic “we are AMERICA SO GET OUT OF THE WAY” way of doing things. I am voting for Obama, and I did not come to that decision easily. My being able to vote was to hard fought for me to be frivolous with it, and so I take it quite seriously. That said, I think lumping the fear on against Obama is coming like a hurricane-typhoon-tsunami all wrapped in a cyclone courtesy of the right, and its headed straight dead bullseye at the Reagan democrats (same ones who put Bush in office twice). It’s headed for the “pissed she wasn’t crowned” white women voters over 40 who supported Hillary. And it’s headed for that smattering of last minute undecideds who’d rather chance another Bush term via McCain because at least they know what to expect than on anyone, and especially Obama. They’d rather place all bets on someone that yesterday, even one in his own party said “John McCain is for whatever his subordnants tell him he’s for that day.” Hearing that was sad because I believe John McCain truly was once the maverick he loves to still call himself. He’s not being held to the same standards as anyone else who would be in his shoes and that’ more scary than anything, but again, it doesn’t seem to matter because none of it will stop him from becoming #44, and I just as I do now, I will respect the office no matter who’s in it. I think Angelina will probably go with Obama more because his planned policies have more in them that will benefit children in America and Iraq children/refugees. I haven’t seen anything regarding policy from McCain that deals with much anything, and it’s another something trippy. McCain hasn’t handed down any concrete plans about much of anything, yet it’s seems to be ok with America. Go figure.
ANGELINA JOLIE SUCKS SHE SUCKS HARD.
“” The Media has become a JOKE.

LOL-remember everyone’s FAVORITE president? The Gipper? Let’s see…where did he get his start?
Wow she looks gorgeous in that picture! I think Angelina is a smart woman and she wouldn’t just support someone because everyone else is, not even if Brad is. She would be the type of person that would really investigate each candidate and find out more. I like that. She’s definately more than a pretty face.
Stephi, please pull your head out of Angelina’s ass. It is not healthy.
hate is not healthy either. Just because someone might agree with the one person you hate doesn’t mean she has her head her butt.
Stephi I agree. She would never and should never vote a certain way because a loved one did. I know more than a few “mixed” households were politices are concerned. One of the beautiful things about America!
