Surprising Republicans: Snooki
A self-proclaimed Independent, Jersey Shore's most pint-size star cast her ballot for John McCain in 2008. The primary reasons? Her opposition to Obama's proposed tanning booth tax and her attraction to the septuagenarian presidential hopeful.
"I don't really know a lot about politics," she admitted to Meghan McCain, John's daughter, in a 2010 Daily Beast interview. "I only know politics about, like, you know, tanning and being a Guidette. So when I saw it was Obama and McCain, to be honest with you, the only reason why I voted for your father was because he was really cute and I liked when he did his speeches."
