![]() Kevin Winter/Getty Images Kanye West wishes his mom, Donda, lived to see Barack Obama anointed as the first African-American presidential nominee. "It's an incredible time to be around," the rapper told the crowd during Thursday morning's ONE campaign party in Denver, according to the Associated Press. "I wish my momma could have seen this day," he said of Donda, who died in November after complications following plastic surgery. Jamie Foxx jumped on stage and declared, "We make history, man. "If you ready for Obama, make some noise," he added, "Yo man, let's do this for Obama." The duo then performed their tune "Gold Digger." See photos of Barack Obama's biggest celebrity fans. Celebs like Ashley Judd (who also attended Bill Clinton's speech at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday) were in the audience at the soiree, which was hosted by Bono's ONE anti-poverty campaign and the Recording Industry Associated of America. A-listers have been all over Denver showing their support for Obama. Ben Affleck participated in a celebrity versus politician race to fill boxes of food for an America's Second Harvest event Wednesday. "I think maybe we cheated a little bit, which is not uncommon for celebrities," he joked to Usmagazine.com. Nearby, ex Jennifer Lopez mingled at the Capitol File & Viacom party, held at the Denver Art Museum, and then later flashed a thumbs up sign to reporters who asked how triathlon training was going at the Voto Latino party. Charlize Theron, Anne Hathaway, Jennifer Garner and Jessica Alba have also been spotted in the mile high city ahead of Obama's acceptance speech tonight.
