As he so often does, John McCain has inspired us ... or at least our Fame-O-Meter. The Old Man's not-so-brilliant "Celeb" ad and Paris Hilton's far-more brilliant rebuttal have motivated us to create a new category to poll the online race between all our fave politicians/celebs.

In early polls, McCain's crazy commercial was right, Obama is the "biggest celebrity in the world," easily leading the online popularity race. With her hot stance on the energy crisis, Hilton takes second, but it's the race for last that's a stunner. Britney, could it be? Old Man McCain is stomping you!

Never fear, we've got a few months until the elections, and this is a race that could change at any moment, whether it involves taking a stance on off-shore drilling or stepping out without panties. If that doesn't make you click to the Fame-O-Meter, we give up. We can't do this alone; we're calling in back-up.
