I think Eastwood is one of those rare creatures one would call a "moderate Republican". From what I hear he's always been socially liberal, at least on some counts like human rights for all. I wouldn't be at all surprised to learn he is supporting Obama this time around.

Halftime in America
Chrysler "courted controversy and won kudos for a two-minute Super Bowl advertisement that was less a car sales pitch than a political message in a presidential election year," Reuters reports.
"Rugged Hollywood icon Clint Eastwood proclaimed it was 'Halftime in America' in the spot that did not mention a Chrysler car or truck but intoned that the automaker's successful turnaround could be used as an example for the United States as it struggles with high unemployment and a slow economic growth rate."
