Sen. Barack Obama is getting a little boost today from the ultimate kitchen superdelegate.

Has Rachael Ray chosen hope as her main ingredient for the presidential race? I've learned she will interview Obama and his wife Michelle today on the campaign trail.

Ray was a fan of Virginia Gov. Mark Warner, who flirted with a presidential bid (and the Food Network star) early in the campaign, and she donated $2,000 to his fledgling PAC in 2006.

Her name also came up last week when Republican Sen. John McCain's campaign was caught stealing recipes from the Food Network Web site and passing them off as Cindy McCain specialties.
