LAS VEGAS -- Both Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are reaching for the stars to achieve their dreams -- but they're aiming for the Hollywood type.Some recent ads from both pundits feature celebrities in hopes of gaining votes. Obama went more toward the musical side of things while Clinton went for the big-screen names.Musician Will.i.am created a song for Obama's commercial -- which features other celebrities like Jessica Alba supporting the Illinois senator -- while veteran actor Jack Nicholson spoofed one of his most popular movies for Clinton.
Both candidates' campaign leaders said the ads may help bring in a whole new bunch of voters who otherwise might not have headed to the polls.
