Actor Jon Voight has endorsed Mayor Rudy. Here's what they have in common: Angelina Jolie, Voight's own daughter, won't speak to him either.

Crimony, Cindy McCain's hair is bigger than OURS. And she's not even Southern. We must investigate. She's looking like Emmy Lou Harris. Sorta, kinda. She works that campaign wardrobe pretty darned hard. Maybe too.

So Hillary's camp sends out this 'why can't we all just get along' statement this evening after days of rumbling with the Barackster over race. Who started this anyway? We agree the rhetoric around this is way over the top. At least John Edwards has stayed out of it. Give him credit for that.

If Mittens does not win Michigan it will be interesting to hear the spin on his moving forward. It'll be a little like Al Gore losing Tennessee. If he wins tho, this horse race is a more crowded field in that the frontrunner remains super unclear. Mercifully, South Carolina comes quickly. We think Mike Huckabee rightly campaigned in Michigan, even if he doesn't win. It's kept his name in the news. If McCain wins Michigan, it gives him the one thing he needs most -- money -- we'd hope. And of course momentum and evidence that he could win (although we get the impression -- call us crazy -- that some GOP honchos aren't exactly hot on him making the final cut.) If we were Hillary, though, we'd much rather run against Romney or Huckabee than McCain, who has a big national profile, an image as somewhat of a maverick and who won't be afraid of duking it out with her, we bet.

In other happier news: the new season of "American Idol" premieres tonight and it's a blessed respite from all the political caterwauling.

We watched the Food Network until 3 a.m. last night and we have decided: when we grow up, we want to be Bobby Flay.
