WILL MARILYN MANSON ENDORSEMENT ROCK THE VOTE?

LOS ANGELES (Wireless Flash) -- Here's a celebrity endorsement that could rock the election: Shock rocker Marilyn Manson has switched his allegiance from George W. Bush to Al Gore. Although Manson reportedly told "Talk" magazine he was going to vote for Bush, he tells the upcoming "High Times" magazine that he's changed his mind because Republicans are less likely to appoint "art-friendly" judges. L.A.-based political consultant Michael Mack doubts Manson's party switch will have much effect with young voters unless he actually starts campaigning for Gore at college campuses. However, that probably won't happen. Manson says even though he thinks the Democrats may be "safer to deal with" than the Republicans, he's pretty sure "both sides hate me."
