Opie, Andy Griffith and the Fonz for Obama

Remember little Opie and "The Andy Griffith Show"?
Well, the actors for Opie and Andy decided to endorse Barack Obama for president. Ron Howard and Andy Griffith are southern folks, the former, born in Oklahoma, and the latter was born in North Carolina.


They, along with Henry Winkler (the "Fonz" of "Happy Days") essentially endorsed Obama on the adjacent pro-Obama video clip.
