Got a crush on Kate Walsh? If you strategically position yourself in a battleground state between now and Election Day (Tues., Nov. 4), you might get lucky and see her!

We just chatted with Walsh, who appeared in Will.i.Am's original "Yes We Can" video back in February, and she told us her support for Barack Obama has not flagged in the intervening months and she'll be stumping for him on the ground in a hard-fought state this very weekend. Want to know where?

Ohio, naturally.

"I'm very excited," Walsh told us. "I think we're all sort of holding our breath a little bit, counting the hours down. We're still working arduously toward the goal of Obama being president—or at least I am. [Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice creator] Shonda Rhimes and I are going to Ohio to campaign this coming weekend, so we're doing everything we can."

Your first shot for a little quality time with Kate Walsh is the next ep of Private Practice, airing tomorrow at 9 p.m. on ABC, but you've got a second shot this weekend if you live in the Buckeye State. (And no matter where you live, be sure to check back tomorrow for more from Kate on Practice, including sneak peek videos.)

How do you guys feel about Walsh and other celebrities campaigning for presidential candidates? Post below...
