The Latest in Soap Videos: Election 2008 Edition

1 We are now just seven days until one of the biggest elections in United States history. Not only has Obama vs McCain made waves in the soap world, so have some of the key propositions in California, Arizona and Florida on gay marriage. Early and absentee voting has started in many states. If you live in the U.S., please vote and let your voice be heard. Below are some election videos featuring the daytime community. I have posted some of these before but wanted to consolidate them all in one place. CBS CARES: ATWT's Van Hansis and Jake Silbermann encourage you to vote.
