Jerry Seinfeld and George Wallace are happy voters!

From Norm’s Vegas Confidential Column November 7, 2008:

The victory party at Jerry Seinfeld’s home in New York City on Election Day had a little something for everyone.

“We were all terribly happy,” said Flamingo headliner George Wallace, Seinfeld’s former roommate.

The celebration “was bigger than New Year’s Eve. We wanted fireworks,” said Wallace, after Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama was declared the winner over Sen. John McCain.

The gathering consisted of a number of old friends of Seinfeld and his wife, Jessica, including “Seinfeld” star Michael Richards.

Wallace said a celebratory voice was heard over the party din when Obama and his wife, Michelle, appeared on the runway with their children for his victory speech at Chicago’s jam-packed Grant Park.

“Oh, that’s my dress!” hollered Cuban-American fashion designer Narciso Rodriguez. The red and black ensemble from Rodriguez’s Spring 2009 Ready-to-Wear collection featured a criss-cross black satin detail, one of Rodriguez’s signature looks.

Another surprise came at the end of Obama’s speech.

“Jerry went ‘that’s my music,’” Wallace said.

It was the theme song from “The Bee Movie,” which was co-created by Seinfeld, who starred in the animated comedy about a bee who rebels against being forced to make honey and files a class action lawsuit against humans.

“This is big,” said Wallace. “It’s big for the world. Did you see how the world reacted? People rejoicing in Kenya, Australia, Hong Kong. To me, it had nothing to do with race. More non-African-Americans put him in office.

“It teaches everybody what an education can do,” said Wallace. “He got to Harvard because of his education. He became a senator through education.”

Wallace said he wouldn’t miss the inauguration for anything.

“Oh yes, I’m going,” he said.
