Short answer: Probably not! Politics, when mixed with entertainment and sports tend to alienate a significant portion of the audience. Glad I don't perform... and the only thing I ever "ran for" is the County Line! LOL!

Sometimes, when "push comes to shove" the individual providing the "service" must draw some difficult lines in the sand. Usually, it's not that you refuse... it's how you express your refusal. Kindness is always a way to deflect an angry reaction.
