Throw Obama and Clinton Into the Cage for Some Mixed Martial Arts, and Never Mind About Old What's-His-Name, McCain!

Yesterday's headlines and news teasers swore that the Indiana and North Carolina set of primaries could truly change the game for the Democratic presidential nomination, but alas, it looks like the battle continues.

Forget the superdelegates, says actor John Leguizamo. There's a quicker and less painful solution to choosing the Democratic nominee: Mixed Martial Arts. "They should do a MMA!" he advised at a screening for the film Paraiso Travel. "That would be hot! Hillary vs. Obama. In the ring. Caged. Three rounds. Lets see who wins!"

While Leguizamo is on Team Obama, he touts Senator Clinton for her scrappiness. "She is sneaky so she will probably try to trick him and do some underhanded stuff. He's strong, but he's skinny."

But maybe the painstaking fight for the heavyweight belt, or, err the presidency isn't as damaging to the Democratic party as we thought. If daytime TV's Regis Philbin's familiarity with Republican nominee John McCain is any indication, constituents probably won't even remember there is an actual party opponent come Election Day. "Who's that guy who's running for you know, you know, Republican? McNeil? What the hell's his name?" Philbin asked me while at the Andy Anselmo Awards Gala.

Democrats can only hope!
