All right!

Now Huckabee has some competition! He may have Chuck Norris, but we've got the upper hand!

...and things really got goofy when the Hulkster ended up baby-sitting the Obama kids!

Obamaniacs and Hulkamaniacs, together at last.

Since we have washed up 80 icons giving their endorsements, will David Hasselholf,Sly Stalone, and Mister T give their endorsements before the week's out?

Mister T: "I pity the fool who won't vote for Senator Obama"

Btw, I'm for Obama, I just find it funny that Chuck Norris is behind Fuckabee. Reminds me of when Schwarzenegger was appointed by George Bush Sr as Chairman of the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports back in the early 90s.

@6,

What was even funnier than that was Arnold claiming that as political "experience" when running for governator.

This is lame.
The Chuck Norris thing was lame.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

@5 Sly Stallone has endorsed McCain. I know Sloggers are dying to know this.

@9. The new Rambo movie that was released is officially known as the Geriatric comeback series. Rambo and Rockey definitely fall under that category.

Why do old guys go for McCain? is it because he's fucking some woman that's 17 years younger than him and that's something that's admired by old str8 guys who've been married to their wives for 40+ years?

You all laugh, but considering that HRC has a lead with blue collar, less educated voters, this may actually help him.

Sly Stallone? Isn't he that guy who filmed a movie up near my old Army base at CFB Chilliwack?

I thought he was dead.

@13. Most likely it would be Cialis commercials.

What ever happened to Viagra Dole?

He's prepping Sen McCain's place in history, @15.

I thought it was funny that when Fuckabee gave his speech following the SC primary, he had Norris behind him on the right and Ric Flair (another big name wrestler from the 80s and 90s) on his left.

I'm sitting here in a limo with Bill Clinton, and he's reading this shit over my shoulder and laughing his ass off. Oh, he wants me to tell you he says hi.

so if hulk hogan and chuck norris faced off, who would win?
and could king leonidas take the winner? (i'm watching 300)

#19,
Hogan wins. Norris' agility, superior fighting technique, and denim will neutralize Hogan's pythons, torn t-shirts, and improbable late-match adrenaline surges. But Hogan takes it by virtue of the only intangible in the duel: Hulkamania. What mania has Norris? None.

At least "Hulk" Hogan is a real wrestler, and Chuck only wins in movies and on TV.

My guess is the Clinton camp and the New York City NOW chapter will present this as more sexism from Obama.
By the way, am I the only one that finds it mind-numbing that Hillary is trying to play victim again, this time over Obama not shaking her hand at the state of the union speech. Is she really so fragile that she even cares? I thought she was supposed to be the battle tough warrior. Sometimes her level of caluclation actually physically sickens me.

Chuck Norris did compete in profesional martial arts tournements before becoming an actor. I belive he was even ranked #1 world-wide in his chosen martial art at one point.

GAWD! Why do I know this?

My guess is that Clinton is like Bruce Lee, and Obama is like Chuck Norris in Meng long guo jiang. Stick that in your IMDB and somke it.

well technically i think Norris studied Lee's Jeet Kun Do

Well with "the Nature Boy" Rick Flair endorsing Huckabee, maybe we can finally decide the election in a way that will get potential voters to pay attention-- via a no no holds barred tag-team casket match.

Bill and Hillary have tag-teamed Obama, lets make it fair and give Barack the Hulkster.

As the mayor of Lake City, I, superyeadon, endorse Obama. Let the chatter begin.

@19 - actually, Mr T would win. He's a Night Elf Mohawk.

Most. Awesome. Presidential. Debate. Ever. Huck/Norris Barack/Hogan tag team!

For those thinking of backing Hillary Clinton, it would be wise to check her past congressional history...for the American people's Healthcare. In 1996, she attempted to take "ALL" our Healthcare rights...Check this out:

It is truly ironic that in all this rhetoric about the "endorsement" by those of popularity for particular candidates, there is "NO" mention by any of these of these endorsements to the "Freedom of Americans" or of the basic "Constitution", where all our "Rights to the Pursuit of Happiness" came from, which is the sole purpose to elect a qualified presidential leader. We have now lost our "reason" as a people and our "purpose" as a nation.
