Barack Obama wins the primary in CelebrityLand and MusicVille

Various artists, "Yes We Can"

Well, in case there was any doubt before, we can now project that the winner of the vote in CelebrityLand and its suburb MusicVille will be Barack Obama.

The independently produced "Yes We Can" video (hosted first at DipDive before going viral) includes a cavalcade of stars -- from Scarlet Johansson and will.i.am to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and John Legend -- speaking and/or singing along with his "Yes We Can" speech over an acoustic hip-hop beat. Not only does it show off Obama's oratorical skills, but it is also a shock-and-awe strike against the rest of the presidential candidates since no one else -- neither Republican or Democrat -- can match this kind of celebrity star power.
