Would Huckabee and McCain agree to settle nomination with hand-to-hand combat?

Nah, just kidding. I'm sure you know we never resolve political contests in America with hand-to-hand combat. Well, not PHYSICAL hand-to-hand, though campaign rhetoric might sometimes seem more vicious than physical blows.

I'm referring in this headline to the ongoing celebrity endorsement battles all candidates get into. On the Democratic side, we've got Streisand and Winfrey. And now, on the GOP side, we've got Norris and Stallone.

STALLONE??

We've all seen the fun commercials with movie action tough guy Chuck Norris endorsing Huckabee, but who saw this one coming: Apparently, Sylvester Stallone (as in Rocky, as in Rambo) has come out in an interview endorsing John McCain.

Well, this changes everything then, doesn't it? Stallone's box office take is so far ahead of anything Chuck Norris has done it's probably laughable. I mean, we're not talking about an endorsement from someone quite as wealthy as Streisand and Winfrey, I would guess. But nonetheless, it's good to have Rocky in your corner, Rambo watching your back, etc.

How delightful, really, that the American voter goes to the polls well studied and prepared to pick leadership based on qualifications for leadership -- no, wait. I'm thinking of probably some obscure European or Asian nation.

In America, we pick our presidents based on the important stuff -- STAR POWER, BABY!
