'My tough guy can beat up your tough guy' endorsements

By now, anyone paying even the least bit of attention to this drama of a national presidential campaign knows that Mike Huckabee's back is being watched by Chuck Norris, he of tough-guy and infomercial fame.

But now John McCain has his own backup: Sylvester Stallone.

As our colleague Maeve Reston reports from West Palm Beach, Fla., McCain wasted no time touting the endorsement. "Look out, Chuck Norris, Sylvester’s coming after you. He’s coming after you, he’s going to get you and you’d better run," McCain joked to reporters this morning after holding a town hall-style session with voters. "Chuck, you can run but you can’t hide."

As an undercard bout, this could be pretty interesting. "Walker, Texas Ranger" kicking it up with "Rambo." But it also raises the endorsement ante a bit. Who could Mitt Romney be the corner man for in the political version of the Ultimate Fighting Championship? Gordon Gecko? John Galt? Or would Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" hero team up with Ron Paul?

Why won't Arnold back Ron Paul? Both are for legalization of Marijuana. As a matter of fact, Jesse Ventura an the whole Wrestling Federation should probably back Ron Paul in the whole self-reliance spirit of it.

Ron Paul has been endorsed by Glenn Jacobs-- otherwise known as Kane in the WWE. Glenn could kick BOTH Stallone's and Norris' butt with absolutely NO problem.

RuPaul for Mitt (it would be a double-glamour whammy)

Stallone is a major WUSS. How is it that he spent the Vietnam War in a girls school teaching phys-ed and now he's famous for "Rambo". Heck, even W did better than that.

I can assure you John Galt supports neither Romney nor Paul, if faced with this kind of election he'd head off to the Gulch quite quickly :D
