You wouldn’t think it, but there is one way this 2008 presidential election looks sort of like the end of the 2004 campaign.The celebrities are coming out early and in full force.

Here’s how it breaks down by candidate (the ones who are still in the game) and celeb (this is a MUCH abbreviated list):

Mike Huckabee – Chuck Norris
Barack Obama – Oprah Winfrey
John McCain – Red Sox pitcher Kurt Schilling
Hillary Clinton – America Ferrera

I understand that celebrity endorsements can bring excitement to a campaign and make people who otherwise may not pay attention to a particular candidate tune in and then (I hope) research that candidate’s platform. Perhaps I shouldn’t be so shocked to hear that not only do quite a few people take note of who throws their support where, but it actually makes a difference as to which celebrity is coming out to officially back you up.

When it comes to martial-arts, womanizing, full-splits and sweet dance moves, not many can go toe-to-toe with Jean Claude Van Damme, “The Muscles from Brussels.”

Born in Belgium, JCVD spent the earlier years of his life lifting weights and kicking ass, earning a black belt in karate before most kids get their first boner.

After much ass-kicking he took up ballet, nailed it, then resumed to more ass-kicking, albeit more elegantly. By 19 JCVD was fightin’ dudes all over Europe, winning Full-Contact Championship titles and tallying up a professional record of 13-1.

Then came the martial-arts/action movies, international stardom, scandals, parodies, budget films and televised boners.

Check out JCVD fun facts, video clips and a “questionable” photo gallery after the jump.
