Well this ought to be enough to secure Barack Obama’s place in the White House.

Celebrity bobblehead Paris Hilton has given a glowing endorsement to Republican Vice-Presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

“I think she’s hot and I think it’s great that a woman is running for office,” Paris tells Glamour Magazine.

“I don’t think she’s stupid – she wouldn’t be where she is today if she was stupid. I think she’s smart, and it’s just because she’s a woman people are saying she’s not.”
