As for his own support, the former New Mexico Governor said: “[My vote is] really spread out ... I don’t think there’s any state I’m going to do better in than another.”

Johnson, who’s on the ballot in 48 states and D.C., hovers in the low single digits in the polls. Still, he says he has no regrets at how things played out.

On other famous person endorsement news, Chris Rock makes the argument that Obama is white.

Katy Perry has been a fixture on the campaign trail, performing at President Barack Obama's rallies ... while wearing custom-made, skin-tight, form-fitting dresses.

Last night, she wore a blue one emblazoned with Obama's "Forward" campaign slogan; last week, Perry's white number became the hottest "ballot" of all time.

Which dress - by Abigail Greydanus, an L.A.-based designer - do you like better? Vote!

The 2012 presidential election is tomorrow, but plenty of states have early voting. At least 30 million people in 34 states have already cast ballots by mail or in person.

That's a huge percentage of the overall popular vote - about 130 million citizens cast ballots in 2008, when Barack Obama defeated John McCain.

Four years ago, Obama's good fortune was foreshadowed by a surge in Democrats voting early. He's banking on the same enthusiasm in 2012. Will he get it?

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is hammering President Obama for a recent campaign speech in which he told the crowd, "voting is the best revenge."

Obama: Revenge!

Obama's comment was part a familiar stump speech riff; if audience members boo Romney's name, the president habitually says, "no no, don't boo - vote!"

Listen up, white voters of America. Chris Rock is sending you a message.

Are you looking for a Presidential candidate that shares your values, hobbies and... well... skin color? If so, the name on your ballot this Tuesday should be obvious: Barack Obama!

The man was known as Barry for much of his life ("the third whitest name on Earth!"); he bowls; he dances with Ellen; he wears mom jeans.

And, unlike Mitt Romney, his family doesn't have more members in it than a Tyler Perry movie. Watch this hilarious endorsement now:

Chris Rock: Vote for "White" Barack Obama!

So, who are you voting for?

No more Mr. Nice Jay?

On last night's edition of The Tonight Show, the host went especially hard after President Barack Obama on two issues:

His handling of the mess in Libya, where four Americans were killed and emails showed the White House was made aware of details it failed to quickly make public.

“Well, ‘Don't Ask, Don't Tell’ is back," Leno cracked. "Not for gays in the military. It's President Obama's new policy for questions about Libya. Don't ask, don't tell."

Chris Christie appeared on The Today Show just a few hours ago and offered up an update on the state of his state.

"The losses are going to be almost incalculable," Christie said of New Jersey in the wake of Hurricane Sandy. "The fact of the matter is I think we're going to get significant federal assistance on this. The major disaster declaration last night by the president is incredibly helpful in that regard."
