If I didn't know much about a given politician and did know a lot about a celebrity's politics, it's possible that would play a factor in how I might vote.
For example, there are Republicans that are running for office endorsed by a former TV reality show star. I might not know a whole lot about a newcomer Republican running for say, state senate or the U.S. House of Representatives. But I might know a whole lot about the politics and views of the former TV reality show star. So much in fact that if I found his politics despicable I would be highly inclined to vote against the politician running for that state senate or House seat that the former TV reality show star endorsed.
