Mos Def Backs Rock Star Obama....

Mos Def is tipping Barack Obama to win the race for the White House, because he's the best looking candidate and a "rock star".The rapper claims U.S. presidential hopeful Obama has the right look to convince voters to place a cross by his name when Americans go to the polls in November (08).He tells PageSix.com, "America's too vain, and he appeals to America's sense of vanity. It's the A&R guy in me... When I saw him on the cover of Men's Vogue, I said, 'This guy's gonna win because he looks good.' "So, the best-looking guy for the job is a black guy. I'm cool with that.

People also want a rock-star quality to the president, which he has".
