Political Halloween Costume Ideas?

All,

Simple request....I am trying to decide on a Halloween costume for this weekend. Any ideas/suggestions for political-related costume?

I will be attending a costume party of mostly liberal/progressive folks...dry politcal humor a plus!

Thanks for any feedback....Halloween during a presidential election is always fun for me...though I can't think of one for this year....my fall back is possibly to be a Blue Man Group guy.

Thanks!

a binder is the costume to be.

If you are a him, a fired Sesame Street character is funny yet grim

Put a binder around you.

My default political costume (well costume in general) is very 2008 but it is scary nonetheless. It's a certain former governor/vp nominee/reality TV star.

Years ago, they had these things called monitor frames. I bought one but never used it. It's 1100 miles from here, so I can't use it this year; the frame is an Etch-a-Sketch.

Paint a cardboard shipping Box white, put numbers on the front, and have a pushbutton system that has 2 lights, one for Romney and one for Obama. No matter which button you push it will always light up ROMNEY.

Terrifying!
