Queen Latifah and Jennifer Hudson are the latest A-list singers/actresses to join up with Team Obama.

 

They appear in this Obama Web video along with Sophie Okonedo and Alicia Keys to urge people to register to vote.

 

The clip sends YouTubers over to the Obama campaign's Vote for Change site, which details a simple voter registration checklist.

 

 

 

 

Latifah is solo in this separate Web spot:

 

 

 

 

The hip spots are clearly aimed at younger voters as part of the Obama push to register as many as possible in an attempt to reshape the electorate for Nov. 4.

 

Also appealing to the young'uns are Obama spots on high gas prices paid by hourly workers and this one starring Kal Penn detailing how college students can make sure they are rgistered.
